[Rt4-whois] For discussion Recommendation 5

[Susan Kawaguchi]

I reviewed the NORC study again it was a good refresher.    In my mind we have at least two choices in wording on the rec. as the comments indicated we do not use the same terminology in the recommendation as the study did.
Current language


  1.  ICANN should take appropriate measures to reduce the number of unreachable WHOIS registrations (as defined by the NORC Data Accuracy Study, 2009/10) by 50% within 12 months and by 50% again over the following 12 months.


ICANN should take appropriate measures to reduce the number of undeliverable (also mentions unreliable) WHOIS registrations (as defined by the NORC Data Accuracy Study, 2009/10) by 50% within 12 months and by 50% again over the following 12 months


I think it would be abundantly clear if we used the term substantial failure in the recommendation

ICANN should take appropriate measures to reduce the number of WHOIS registrations with a substantial failure (as defined by the NORC Data Accuracy Study, 2009/10) by 50% within 12 months and by 50% again over the following 12 months
