RE: [ga] WHOIS accuracy, and name deletions


David, you are a great resource to help us find out more about what ccTLDs do... in this area.  Do you know what Domainz does? Is there a way to find out what some of the larger ccTLDs do? Such as .de; .uk; .au; .fr; etc.? Perhaps there is learning which the gTLDs can take from the ccTLDs. Many ccTLDs have regisrtrations from other countries so have the postal delivery issues as well. 

I'd be happy to post any relevant and factual responses we might be able to get to the WHOIS TF list. 

Regards, Marilyn Cade

The issue of should you be allowed to be anonymous is a slightly
different debate.  For now the policy is you need correct data and the
issue is how to mitigate potential loss of a domain and purchase by
someone else (which is far worse).

I agree putting on hold is not without consequences and there should
be a minimum of three attempts to contact the registrant.
