If other fields are included, please be specific as to what fields <br>must be verified or re-verified.<br><br><br>Question 5: The ICANN Org comments on the RrSG definition of accuracy <br>saying that accuracy requirements are not limited to syntactical and <br>operational accuracy implies that it may also include the requirement that <br>the field contents are in fact associated with the RNH, and lacking such <br>association, they may be deemed inaccurate. Is this an accurate reading of <br>the ICANN Org comment, and if not, please explain just what the <br>characteristics are that might make such fields inaccurate (in cases which <br>are not as blatant as Mickey Mouse residing on Main Street of Disneyland)?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
