They are examples of requirements for verification. With the use of
verification codes as described in the draft, clients (registrars or
registrants) have a choice of verification providers (VSPs) to perform
verification in a way that protects the privacy of the data. Choosing between
in-house verification or external verification is an architectural decision,
and this helps make the latter option possible.

Here's one example of a regulation that could be met using the approach
described in the draft:

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=d611d7d4bd8f3155d3262ea4857c011e&mc=true&node=pt41.3.102_6173&rgn=div5

The draft does not use terms like "obligatory" or "demand". As it says in the
Introduction, "A locality MAY ...".
