<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Ideally we need to add something about the purposes of contact information that require accuracy and those that don't.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">The <i>
Final report from the EWG on gTLD Directory Services</i> has a good list of purposes from p.19-34.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">The <i>
Study to evaluate solutions for the submission and display of internationalized contact data</i> has a useful section on
<i>Information accuracy for effective use</i> on p.9 with three levels of accuracy suggested:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">1. Requiring
<b>accurate transformation</b> (e.g. valid in a court of law, matching information in a passport, matching information in legal incorporation etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">2. Requiring
<b>consistent transformation</b> (allowing use of such information to match other information provided in another context, e.g. to match address information to a registrant on a Google map, etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">3. Requiring
<b>ad hoc transformation</b> (allowing informal or casual version of the information in another language to provide more general accessibility)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">The last sentence of the study is of particular interest to us from the accuracy point of view and also from its summary of the state of the transformation tools etc.:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">"The study has found that provisioning and querying protocols are lacking either support or deployment for internationalized registration data, and that the tools tested are not providing
a high level of transformation accuracy and consistency of internationalized registration data."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Do we need a better analysis of purposes and accuracy? Does one exist?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
