This is not my point Joyce. My point is that if a customer moves before 
the next phone book is published, the data in thact phonebook is 
factualy incorrect until the next one is published. Whois is very 
similar in this respect.

I do not think that it is reasonable to expect any compilation of data 
to be 100% accurate and precise 100% of the time. In fact, I believe 
that the measures currently being implemented may be enough to 
appropriately address the problem. We should take some time to measure 
the effectiveness of these programs before we trot down the road of 
creating more new policy.
