The ALAC strongly supports the recommendation of the Final Report on the Thick Whois Policy Development Process for all gTLD registries to use the ‘thick’ Whois mode. It is a position that the ALAC has supported, beginning with its response to the Preliminary Report and reflected in the ALAC Statement on the Preliminary Issue Report on ‘Thick’ Whois expressing ‘extreme disappointment’ that Verisign was not required to use a this 'Thick' Whois model for .com when that ICANN-registry agreement was up for renewal.
The reasons for the ALAC support include
The Final Report also requests input on transition issues, particularly privacy issues. The ALAC would note that similar privacy issues are addressed by most existing Registries and all registrars including movement of data from one jurisdiction to another. ICANN has also developed a policy, ICANN’s Procedure for Handling Whois Conflicts with Privacy Law which should assist that process.
