Thanks Evan, I'm good with the addition as long as the public report is directly tied to a contractual obligation

Change the WHOIS Accuracy Specification #5 from:

...

“Upon the occurrence of a Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable WHOIS information…”

To:

“Upon the REPORT OR DISCOVERY of a Registered Name Holder's willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable WHOIS information…”

Agreed, though I think that "report" is sufficient. A discovery that is unreported can't be of much help.

...

AND modify the contract language of 3.7.8 from:

"...Registrar shall, upon notification by any person of an inaccuracy in the contact information associated with a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, take reasonable steps to investigate that claimed inaccuracy. In the event Registrar learns of inaccurate contact information associated with a Registered Name it sponsors, it shall take reasonable steps to correct that inaccuracy."

To:

"...Registrar shall, upon notification by any person of an inaccuracy in the contact information associated with a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, take reasonable steps to investigate that claimed inaccuracy. In the event Registrar learns of inaccurate contact information associated with a Registered Name it sponsors, it shall take reasonable steps to correct that inaccuracy AND IF NEEDED CANCEL OR SUSPEND THE DOMAIN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACCURACY SPECIFICATION."

I'm OK with the intent, but would suggest something more explicit, that allows for a period of time to make corrections.

"...Registrar shall, upon notification by any person of an inaccuracy in the contact information associated with a Registered Name sponsored by Registrar, take reasonable steps to investigate that claimed inaccuracy. In the event Registrar learns of inaccurate contact information associated with a Registered Name it sponsors, it shall take reasonable steps to correct that inaccuracy. Domains that maintain inaccurate information, after given reasonable time to be corrected upon notification, shall be cancelled or suspended by the Registrar in accordance with the accuracy specification.

Is this any more palatable?
