[GNSO-Accuracy-ST] Potential Additional Data Points for the Groups Consideration

[Volker Greimann]

Hi,

sadly this is not at al helpful for our work l as it only describes
potential methods of verification without addressing one the perceived need
for it and I wonder what your purpose is for sharing this distraction from
our task.

I think this is outside the scope of us as a scoping team at this time,
even though it may be helpful for a PDP down the road. Our job is not to
propose possible verification methods but to see whether there is a sizable
issue with registration data accuracy in the first place and whether that
issue that needs policy work or whether the processes and policies
currently in place already serve the intended purpose.

The slide deck does however showcase the issues that ICANN and the RRSG
have repeatedly outlined when looking at the feasibility of certain
verifications as it shows how limited the scope of the various methods
employed by EURID is even when only looking at European registrants. Try to
expand it to a global pool of registrants and you may be able to imagine
what issues this entails.
