This is precisely why its in your best interests to pick and choose your registrar wisely. It is our standard practice to proceed with these very cautiously and err on the side of good judgement. A name that is full of "N/A" and "555-1212" gets much different treatment that one that has a typo in it.
It is very much the case that we will bend the rules to ensure that the rule gets enforced as intended, not as written. -rwr ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Kirikos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 8:11 PM Subject: Verifying WHOIS accuracy in advance of a challenge > Hello, > > I note the ICANN document at: > > http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-10may02.htm > > and in particular the statement: > > "If the registrant fails to respond "for over fifteen calendar days to > inquiries by Registrar concerning the accuracy of contact details", > then pursuant to RAA Subsection 3.7.7.2 the registrant is in "material > breach" of its registration agreement with the registrar." > > Heaven forbid if anyone wants to take a 3 week holiday!
