Dear Dan,
the quoted document says
<quote>
Subsection 3.7.7.1 of the RAA requires registrars to include in their 
registration agreement with each registrant a provision under which the 
registrant promises to "provide to Registrar accurate and reliable contact 
details and promptly correct and update them ... ." Although 3.7.8 
envisions that ICANN may develop a policy requiring registrars to verify 
the contact details at the time of registration, ICANN has not yet done so. 
Nonetheless, registrars will find that implementing readily-available 
techniques to verify the format of data in the registration process (such 
as screening for blank fields or checking that addresses have valid post 
codes) will diminish the need for manual processes that would later be 
necessary to comply with the requirement to investigate reported inaccuracie

I would certainly like to comply with this for the registrars I develop an 
interfece for. I would just need however your help: could you please 
provide me with an updated list of the world's post codes to check the 
consistency of the registrants entries.
I thank you for your help
