Dear Councilors, In anticipation of the upcoming Council agenda topic of accuracy at ICANN85, Support Staff wanted to provide you with an update on new materials that may be relevant to a recommendation from the Council’s Accuracy Small Team. Background: As a reminder, the Council Accuracy Small Team was tasked with reviewing all SG/C feedback on a proposal to move forward on the topic of accuracy in light of the limitations in accessing data for the purposes of measuring accuracy levels. The Council Accuracy Small Team reviewed the feedback to the Council’s assignment and proposed recommendations for the Council’s consideration. Recommendation 3 provides: “The Council Accuracy Small Team recommends the creation of clear and user-friendly educational materials that could be provided before, during, and after domain name registration to assist registrants in understanding (i) the importance of providing and maintaining accurate registration data through the lifecycle of their domain name(s), (ii) how their personal data is processed and protected, and (iii) the consequences of providing inaccurate data or not verifying email/phone under the required timeline. The Small Team does not prescribe how these materials are created, but recommends assembling a diverse and representative group of interested stakeholders to work together on developing the recommended content for the materials.” New materials: At the request of the Registrar Stakeholder Group, ICANN org produced a short document<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/importance-domain-name-registrat...> to highlight the importance of maintaining accurate registration data for registrants that registrars, registrants, and the community can reference. This document may be a helpful reference to the Council as it further considers Recommendation 3 - for example: Does this document fulfill the intent and goal of Recommendation 3? If not, what additions or changes could be considered? ACTION for Councilors: Council Leadership has requested Councilors to review this accuracy document<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/importance-domain-name-registrat...> and come to the Council meeting on 11 March with initial feedback and reactions. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin
