Fw: REMINDER | Meeting Invitation | GNSO Council's Accuracy Small Team call | Thursday, 29 May 2025
by Paul McGrady May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

Hello Fabulous Staff! If I can have two slides tomorrow, that would be perfect. First, the three ring circus slide we already have. Second, a slide with just the three Golden Nuggets on it (please phrase these better/smarter than me): * Earlier validation of registrant data leading to possible 70% reduction in maliciousness * Notation of suspended status in the RDS record * Registrant education on why accurate data is important and why that data is safe Muchos!

All, the agenda tomorrow is just to get feedback from each of you that you obtained from your communities about the "golden nuggets" and to ensure alignment prior to Council-led/provided updates while in Prague. This is not to say we have made any decisions on what to recommend to Council, we are just providing an update on our current thinking so that the GAC and others know we are moving forward to address concerns and seek resolutions. We may have a very short call on our hands and, if so, that is OK too. Talk soon.
