Please understand that the term verification or validation can mean many different things, so we do not know what exactly is done. It can be limited to e.g. checking that syntactically correct strings are put into the e-mail field (i.e. checking whether the string contains an @ and a dot). So this is to be handled with caution.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also, the contractual setup differs from the gTLD world and within the ccTLD world. Some have direct contracts with RNHs (where registrars are more or less agents), others have registrars that contract with customers. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I do applaud CENTR for having conducted the study, but let me just caution our team not to jump to conclusions for our work as a result of it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">All the best,</div><div class="">Thomas<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Am 12.10.2018 um 10:32 schrieb <a href="mailto:Georgios.TSELENTIS@ec.europa.eu" class="">Georgios.TSELENTIS@ec.europa.eu</a>:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;
