[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Relay failure notification

[Luc SEUFER]

Hi Todd and Alex,

According to my reading of the 2013 RRA, the use of a P/P provider service should be seen as a subcontracting of  the registrant obligation to provide accurate details where they can be reached at for the whois database.

Like any domain name registrant, the user of a P/P service must provide accurate details where they are reachable at. The fact that the P/P provider substitutes to those details a set of generic ones for the whois database has no impact. In any case, registrants will need to be able to verify that the email address registered in the whois database allows to reach them.

Thus, Alex you should still receive this bounce-email if the address registered in the whois is invalid. Instead of receiving an error message from a meaningful address such as  registrant at domain.email, you will receive one from 146HGF3569JG35 at ppprovider.com but it should have the same value in the eyes of ICANN compliance or any court (if that’s the kind of value you were referring to).

Luc

Because that undeliverable notice itself can serve as a valuable piece of evidence, if there is a way that we can bake in something analogous for P/P relay standards, I would think we would want to.

To this end, I believe any comms failure (email or telephone) should be treated equivalently to a failure of a registrar¹s required contact information under the 2013 RAA.  Meaning Compliance would open a ticket and the P/P service would be obligated to correct or face breach.

This is also analogous to the WHOIS verification requirements under the 2013 RAA.
