Re: [gnso-thickwhois-dt] Comments on the Thick Whois PDP Draft Charter

[Frédéric Guillemaut <fg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

This is my first participation in a drafting team, so please forgive me 
if I missed a point.
The Charter says a lot on Thick Whois.
And it can refer to the final report.
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/whois/final-report-thick-whois-02feb12-en.pdf)

However, I do not see any accurate description of what a thick whois 
really is, and what the minimum standards are expected to be (I guess 
some registries might have a few differences).
Is defining Thick Whois specs a mission of the Working Group ?
Or doez the drafting team have ot draw guidelines on that matter as well ?

Best regards

Frederic
