Dear Councilors,

Further to the message below, which noted that ICANN org, at the request of the RrSG, had been working on a one-page document to highlight the importance of maintaining accurate registration data for registrants that registrars, registrants, and the community can reference, please find the flyer recently published by ICANN org: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/importance-domain-name-registration-data-accuracy-20oct25-en.pdf.

As noted below, this may be a helpful starting point for the Council as it makes progress on Recommendation 3 (referenced below) from the Council Accuracy Small Team.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Caitlin

Dear Councilors,

We ran out of time for the AOB related to Accuracy during the Council’s September meeting, so I am providing a short update via the list.

In the Council Accuracy Small Team’s Summary Report, recommendation 3 provides, “The Council Accuracy Small Team recommends the creation of clear and user-friendly educational materials 3 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.”

We wanted to let you know that at the request of the Registrar Stakeholder Group, ICANN org has been working on a one-page document to highlight the importance of maintaining accurate registration data for registrants that registrars, registrants, and the community can reference. This document should be ready in the coming weeks. We thought this may be a helpful starting point for the diverse and representative group (referenced in Rec. 3) to build upon.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Caitlin
