Please also note that the preceding section in the Initial Report defines these terms (note, there are also some footnotes that go with these definitions): * "Registrant-based email contact", means “an email for all domains registered by a unique registrant [sponsored by a given Registrar] OR [across Registrars], which is intended to be pseudonymous data when processed by non-contracted parties. * "Registration-based email contact", means “a separate single use email for each domain name registered by a unique registrant, which is intended to be anonymous data when processed by non-contracted parties. We can make sure that a reference to these definitions is included in the public comment form to make sure that those that only look at the form have the appropriate context.

Here is the Question from the Initial Report: EPDP Team Question for Community Input #5 Does this guidance as written provide sufficient information and resources to Registrars and Registry Operators who wish to publish a registrant- or registration-based email address? If not, what is missing and why? Taken literally, this might leave the impression that the Recommendation is to publish a standard email address. In fact, our deliberations involved the publication of an anonymized (or more precisely, pseudonymized) email address. I request that we correct this oversight both so that our intention is clear and so that the public comments solicited focus on the real topic to consider – whether to publish some form of an anonymized email address. I propose that we publish a corrected version of the Initial Report that inserts the word “anonymized” prior to “registrant- or registration-based email address” to correct this oversight.
