Following our call earlier this week, please find attached the updated template for Category B – question 2. To facilitate your review, I've posted below the draft preliminary recommendation in which we've aimed to capture the conversation to date taking into account the language of the Whois Accuracy Specification Program of the 2013 RAA. If you are of the view that this does not accurately capture the WG's view to date and/or have specific suggestions for changes / edits, please share those with the mailing list. Also, if there are any other issues that need to be addressed in relation to this question and/or the preliminary recommendation, please share those as well.

The WG recommends that proxy and privacy customer data be validated and verified in a manner consistent with the requirements outlined in Whois Accuracy Specification Program of the 2013 RAA. The WG furthermore agrees that in the cases where validation and verification of the P/P customer data was carried out by the registrar, reverification by the P/P service of the same, identical, information should not be required.

Similar to ICANN’s Whois Data Reminder Policy (http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/wdrp), the P/P provider should be required to inform the P/P customer annually of his/her requirement to provide accurate and up to date contact information to the P/P provider. If the P/P provider has any information suggesting that the P/P customer information is incorrect (such as P/P service receiving a bounced email notification or non-delivery notification message in connection with compliance with data reminder notices or otherwise) for any P/P customer, the P/P provider must verify or re-verify, as applicable, the email address(es). If, within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving any such information, P/P service does not receive an affirmative response from the P/P customer providing the required verification, the P/P service shall verify the applicable contact information manually.
