    I do not agree with this draft proposal for various reasons:<br>
    <br>
    a) The obligations of the p/p provider should match those of the
    registrar the registration is performed under. In other words, the
    p/p provider should not be required to perform checks that would not
    be applicable to the registration as the sponsoring registrar is
    under a different RAA. <br>
    <br>
    b) I disagree with the requirement for manual verification. The
    provider should have the option to bow out of the agreement as well.<br>
    <br>
    c) The draft only uses verify, whereas the RAA differentiates
    between verification and validation. Any obligation to other service
    providers should match those of the sponsoring registrar.<br>
    <br>
    d) Why should there be (re-)verification of the email address when a
    different data point is claimed to be incorrect? What purpose does
    that serve?<br>
    <br>
    e) The recommendation should contain a carve-out that the obligation
    only applies if the reminder to the beneficial owner is not already
    sent by the registrar. No need to confuse registrants with duplicate
    reminders.<br>

                        order to partially offset the delay that will
                        inevitably occur when accessing p/p data, the
