Hi Michael, not sure how you arrived at this conclusion, but nowhere in the article does it state that the roughly 29k domain names had false or incorrect registration details. The article states that the websites contained false or incorrect data, not the domains. Further, your math seems to be off, since the deactivation of this number of domains occurred over the course of approximately 4 years. This means this number will likely have to be at least quartered to be even remotely comparable to the number of domains in the registry at any given time. Please stop misinterpreting the news of the world to fit your personal agenda. Let us focus on actual evidence instead. I also agree to Sarah's comments: To be able to define a level of acceptability we first need to define what we mean by accuracy and what level of inaccuracy would make a record "unacceptable".

Hello All,
Please make sure that everyone has used their “free time” today to complete the survey which is critical as we wrap up our work on Assignments 1 & 2.
One of the themes that we have struggled with is providing a fact based approach to our work. While there has historically been a large number of inaccuracy complaints submitted to ICANN compliance, most of those complaints dissipated when RDDS data went dark (just checking to see if Marc Anderson is reading this email).
I recently read this article involving the Spanish ccTLD Manager which reported the cancellation of more than 29,000 suspicious domain names “linked to fake online shopping websites that contained false or incorrect data.” See https://www.dominios.es/en/informacion-de-interes/noticias/collaboration-bet...
So here are some questions I would like to pose to the group.
1) I think this is an interesting data that should be included as a reference point as part of the broader domain name marketplace issue we are trying to address;
2) With approximately 2 million names in the .ES zone, 29K domain names represents about 1.5% of domain names with false and inaccurate data. With 214 million gTLDs registered, 1.5% would account for over 3 million domain names with false/inaccurate data. Do members of this group find these numbers acceptable?
3) If not, what would be an acceptable number?
4) I believe most credit card companies now look at credit charge back rates of less than 1%, to be deemed acceptable. Is this an appropriate reference point given that most domain name transactions probably take place via a credit card transaction?
Best regards,
Michael
