Dear all, Some Registrars are seeking an exemption from certain collection and/or retention requirements under the Data Retention Specification (the "Specification") of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). In response to these requests from some Registrars, ICANN has posted a document seeking to clarify what is meant by certain data elements described in the Data Retention Specification and describing potentially legitimate purposes for collection and retention of those data elements. Input is welcome until 21 April 2014: http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-21mar14-en.htm Kind regards, Gabi
