To obtain that information, we may want to contact the operators of .CAT and .TEL who used such evidence to get their exceptions confirmed by ICANN or look at their RSEP applications for change. I believe that .CAT obtained various confirmations that the proposed (new) policy was more in line with the European data protection guidelines than the ICANN vanilla policy.

Here is the RSEP application with some added documentation:
http://www.icann.org/en/registries/rsep/puntcat-cat-request-05oct11-en.pdf

Note especially the letter from spanish data protection authorties, and this statement: /"The solution offered by the inquirer in this regard appears to be more appropriate than that// //which currently exists in protecting this fundamental right, as it ensures the confidentiality// //of the personal data of domain name owners and establishes a system enabling// //interested parties to contact them, thus providing a more complete fulfilment of the//
//proportionality principle.
Logically, this solution would imply that the inquirer perform a new processing of the personal data of those wishing to contact the domain name owner, which must likewise abide by the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999, whereby the interested party must be informed of the processing of his/her personal data and the other principles, rights and obligations provided for by this Law must be observed. In addition, the inquirer must report the file created for registration in the Data Protection General Registry and keep the data the least possible amount of time necessary to fulfil the purpose justifying their processing.//*"*/

I've seen claims that it may not be legal to publish Whois information in some 
countries. As has been noted, we need more than unsupported statements in our 
work, but that situation could create problems if a thick Ry were in a 
different country from the Rr.

The claims weren't from this group but can anybody provide documentation?

The data passed to the registry is the same data that the registrar would make 
fully public in Whois.

Yes, the information may be transferred to another jurisdiction. and that 
jurisdiction may treat PRIVATE information differently. If a thick whois 
required a registrar to transfer PRIVATE information, it could be an issue. But 
there is *NO* private data involved in this transfer. So how that target 
jurisdiction treats private information does not impact this discussion.

Hi,

As I understand it, in a thick whois, the Registrar would be forced
to pass all that information to the Registry.  At this point they
don't need to.

So the information will then be transferred from one national
jurisdiction to another.  And those jurisdictions could have a very
different treatment of that private information.  That
jurisdictional shift is the crux of the problem.

To the group: Apologies for making Rick so very angry at me.

I agree on all of these principles, but do not understand the
relevance to thick/thin Whois model. Why does the registry holding
a copy of the data WHICH IS ALREADY PUBLICLY AVAILABLE alter
anything? Privacy is still protected by the original registrar or
proxy provider based on the laws in their jurisdiction.
An organization that works on gay issues can register in a
country and with a registrar that will hide their identity under
multiple levels and will even defend a UDRP if necessary, without
unmasking the original registrant". All that will show up in the
registry database is the top proxy provider - exactly what the
registrar would show in its Whois output in the thin model.
I do note that as alluded to above, that most proxy providers
will unmask the original registrant as soon as a UDRP is filed,
even if that UDRP might have little merit. And even if the UDRP is
lost, the original registrant's name will be published in the
public report on the UDRP. I have never heard of anyone fighting to
change that rule!
