In some instances (i.e. whoever wants to fake their info) email and telephone verification will be valid just up to the moment the domain gets registered. Both email and telephone can be made bogus after that. Just like Yellow Pages books, once they are published they are already obsolete.
You can have all the rules in place to try to "verify" who you are by chequing Email & Tel at the moment of registration but in going forward who knows who you are if these are not valid anymore.
All true. But verification does cover a large subset of issues where deception is not part of the plan, and for those where it is, it complicated the process.
What about using a third party certifier before being able to register a domain? Kind of a global domain passport? Is this something that can be considered?
I'm not party to the discussions, but my take is that it is certainly possible and would also increase the cost and delay of registering a name (particularly your first one) very significantly. Just think of the effort and cost of getting a certificate for certifying a web site. Whether it is worth that or not, another question. Alan
