Folks,

In our view, the proposal has two substantial flaws.  First, it is overly specific as to the process *all* contracted registrars must use to determine whether the registrant is a legal vs a natural person. Second, it includes procedures for verifying the accuracy of the data for legal persons.  The procedure is unnecessary for determining whether the registrant is a legal person.  If the eventual policy requires a high degree of accuracy of a legal person's name and address, that's a separate matter and should be dealt with in that part of the policy.

The attached memo suggests a simpler and more comprehensive approach.

Thanks,

Steve
