Dear all, In December 2013 the ICANN Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG) requested you to share your experiences with Directory services/WHOIS (see email 11 December 2013). The EWG is now seeking your input on existing ccTLD WHOIS data verification/validation practices to help them to more fully understand what practices might be commercially reasonable and feasible for gTLD domain names and , hence, invites you to respond to this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ccTLD_WHOIS_Data_Verification_Validation_Ques... about WHOIS data verification/validation practices used for domain names registered within your ccTLD. Further details are available at the above link. Survey questions can be viewed and answered on-line or downloaded in PDF form for offline review/submission via email. Responses are requested by 21 February 2014. The EWG plans to publish a summary of responses for ICANN community use in considering gTLD WHOIS data validation/verification policy recommendations. Thank you in advance for your consideration; the EWG sincerely appreciates any insights you are able share with us through this survey. Thank you and kind regards, Bart
