[Rt4-whois] No agreement on Lutz's recommendations [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I would like to get a better understanding of the.  Objection or concern about Lutz's recommendation.  If an interface is only implemented for .net and .com, it defeats the purpose and does not provide ease of access to all WHOIS registration data.

Thank you for these constructive ideas.  Apologies for my mistake on this one. I would like Kathy's view on the proposed wording before any sign offing this as I am aware it is something on which she has previously raised comments.  

Peter I think you meant thin registries didn't you?  That would be a more accurate and precise version of what we agreed. This another one where (I think) we are all agreed on a minimum which in my view would represent a real step forward. What there is not consensus on is how far or whether such a look-up could or should be expanded. If is not already clear in the text we should find a way of expressing clearly that our proposal should not necessitate any transfer of databases, escrow or similar. It is simply a single look up point.
