Dear Michael and Alan, Thanks for being the penholders to this. I have some input to your proposed responses the questions asked. Q: Disparity – there are clearly diverging best practices regarding registration data accuracy for entities providing domain name services in gTLDs and ccTLDs. In my view, “mixing” ccTLDs and gTLDs here is not a good idea. The NIS2 will (very soon) color the Registrar business (for most registrars), but RrSG will easily reply that the ccTLD cannot be compared with the gTLDs. In my view- a better question to ask RrSG is “How can you improve the required registrant verification for a gTLD registration? The word “Improve” is of importance since the Registrars are obliged to verify the registration data in the RAA and RRA(s). Sidenote: I will assume European based registrars will use the same verification techniques for a gTLD registration with a European registrant as required in NIS2 (whenever this is set).

If there are any additional contributions on your “end user” perspective on data accuracy please provide them so Alan and I can share them with the RrSG. Best regards, Michael
