Thick Registry — a registry model in which the central registry stores both core domain data and the registrant, administrative, and technical contact records supplied by registrars.

Thick Registry — a registry model in which the central registry stores both core domain data and the registrant, administrative, and technical contact records supplied by registrars.
The mechanism or organization supports registration, delegation, data access, or compliance with technical and contractual requirements. Its authority depends on the layer of the system.
Contact the registrar about payment, registrant data, and most domain operations. Registry and policy issues are normally escalated through the registrar unless an official procedure provides a direct channel.
