    <p>Hi Margie,</p>
    <p>the risk of the poor registrant losing his domain name due to
      inaccurate whois data is actually entirely of ICANNs making as
      contracted parties certainly do not need this data set for the
      purposes of maintaining the registration. We have account data for
      that. The only reason whois inaccuracies can cause a registrant to
      lose his domain is ICANN policies and contractual obligations
      regarding failures to update inaccurate data and registrars opting
      for deletion instead of deactivation (do such registrars still
      exist?).</p>
    <p>For all other purposes reasonable steps are already being taken,
      as I explained in my previous mail.</p>
    <p>Best,</p>
    <p>Volker<br>
