In the interests of full disclosure, this discussion was had our
respective capacities as registrar employee's and not as representatives
of the registrar constituency. I have not had an opportunity to discuss
these terms with my constituency and will not be in a position to offer
any serious commentary or amendment until I do.

On 27/10/2004 9:32 AM Brian Darville noted that;
| Set forth below is a revised proposal prepared by representatives of
the IPC after a telephone conference yesterday between Bruce Tonkin,
Ross Rader, Steve Metalitz (IPC), Ryan Lehning (IPC) and myself.  As I
understand it, Ross may be preparing a revision to paragraph C in the
following proposal.  We will discuss this proposal on today's call.
|
| Here is the revised proposal:
|
| I. Steps to Verify & Correct Inaccuracy in Response to a Complaint
|
| A. 	1.  If a registrar receives a complaint about the accuracy of
| registrant data through the Whois Data Problems Reporting System, that
| registrar shall take reasonable steps to verify the accuracy of that
| data by contacting the registrant through at least two of the following
| four methods: 1) email; 2) telephone number; 3) facsimile number; or 4)
| postal mail.
|
| 		2. If one method fails (e.g., email bounce-back;
| telephone or fax disconnected; or a return to sender message), the
| domain name may be placed immediately on hold; or, another method shall
| be used.  If both of the two pursued methods fail, registrar shall place
| the domain name on hold.  If a pursued method does not fail, registrar
| must allow the registrant 15 days to respond with accurate information.
| If it is apparent at any point in the process that a registrant has
| willfully provided inaccurate contact data, a registrar may immediately
| place the domain name on hold without first attempting to (further)
| contact the registrant.
|
| B. If a registrant responds to registrar notifications of inaccuracy
| within the 15 day time limit, providing updated data, registrar shall
| verify the accuracy of at least one of the following three updated data
| elements: 1) email; 2) telephone number; or 3) facsimile number.
| Verification may consist of the registrar using the updated data to
| effectively contact the registrant, confirming the registrant's
| correction of its contact data or by requesting that the registrant
| provide the registrar with "proof of authenticity" of the contact
| information (e.g., a photocopy of a driver's license or a utility bill).
| If one element remains inaccurate, registrar may place the domain name
| on hold. If one element is accurate, registrar shall verify the second
| element.  If both elements remain inaccurate, registrar may place the
| domain name on hold or verify the third element.  If the contact
| information remains inaccurate or unverified, the registrar shall place
| the domain name on hold.
|
| C. Registrars shall make their customers aware of the Whois Data
| Problems Reporting System as the means for bringing complaints with
| respect to Whois data. [Language to be proposed by Ross Rader for
| publicizing the WDPRS in advance of its use as the sole avenue for
| making complaints about Whois data].
