      <br>
      I see your point, but I do not believe it to be as much of an
      issue as you make of it. The registry in any thick whois TLD is
      the central repository of all whois data, regardly of where it was
      registered. The registrar is responsible to provide the data to
      the registry. Verification can be assumed and performed by either.
      In the new RAA, registrars will most likely assume some of the
      responsibility, but the launch of .XXX has show this can also be
      performed on a registry level. In fact, some ccTLDs such as .US
      also perform routine validations on the registration requirements.<br>
      <br>
      On the other hand, we have now seen cases where a "thick registry"
      has made modifications to the registration based on court orders
      or other events, which were not always notified to the registrar,
      i.e. left the registrar database out of synch with the registrar
      database, yet these changes were authoritative as far as the
      ownership of the domain is concerned. Whereas registrars must
      always update the registry to effect a change of data in a thick
      TLD. In other words, as the registry database is the last word on
      the data, it should be the authoritative source.<br>
      <br>
      Best,<br>

            have concerns about a registry being authoritative for Whois
            data when it has no direct connection to the registrant. As
            discussed on our last call, the registry receives Whois data
            from the Registrar, not from the registrant. As such, the
            registry has no way of independently
            confirming/verifying/validating that the data is accurate. I
            think this distinction becomes more of an issue if there’s a
            future requirement for validation or verification of
            registrant Whois data, as requested by the 
GAC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            centralizes the data…it doesn’t make it any more accurate,

                seems to assumes if all regitries are thick that
                registrars will still be required to maintain a set of
                WHOIS data themselves. However, if the registries are
                all thick and authoritative for WHOIS data then I see no
                reason why a registrar should continue to be required to
                maintain a duplicate set of the data, especially since
                it will also be escrowed by the registry. I would think
                a number of registrars would find it useful and cost
                effective to simply use a registry's authoritative data
                instead of trying to maintain it themselves. And I can
                easily see an effort by registrars to change the RAA
                and/or policies to reflect that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                alternatively, that may be a question they want to
                consider. I don't think it would necessarily be out of
                scope since it is tightly associated with whether all
                registries are thick or not, but others may have a
                different opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                  hi all,<br>
                  <br>
                  here's the status report for this week. i *think*
                  we're wringing out the last issues in the draft. so
                  this would be a good time to take a look at the latest
                  version. what seems to be working well is to run your
                  ideas through the list so then we can work through
                  them on the call. here's a link to the draft i pushed
                  out after the last call.<br>
                  <br>
                  <a moz-do-not-send="true"

                  <br>
                  and here's the status report. i'm hoping we can get to
                  a draft we can push out for a consensus call by the
                  end of the meeting on Thursday.
                  <br>
