ICANN86 - Session 6.a - Informational Session on Accuracy of Registration Data

10:30 - 11:15 UTC

Topics Discussed:

Topics Discussed: Accuracy, RDS / WHOIS

Session Details:

In the ICANN85 Mumbai Communiqué, the GAC expressed its strong interest in engaging further with the Board and the Contracted Parties on how to address – in a swift and effective manner – the current 15-day timeline for registrars to validate and verify registrants contact information.

This session aims to inform GAC Members on the background of this timeline, how it may be exploited for DNS Abuse purposes, what would be the operational impllication of changing this timeline or the verification process, and possible path for implementing such changes. It is expected that this informational session will prepare the GAC for the eventual trilateral dialogue between the GAC, the ICANN Board and the GNSO Council which the GAC Chair initially requested be convened on this issue prior to ICANN86, and which is now expected to take place after the Seville ICANN86 Policy Forum.
