RE: [gnso-whois-wg] FW: Whois 1.4
Dear Maria, I have attached version 1.4 with several suggested changes (in red-line form). My suggested changes relate to two points: (1) Agency (section 2.2): replace "the OPOC should in broad terms have a similar relationship to the registrant as an agent" with ""the OPOC should have a contractual relationship with the registrant which provides for certain obligations, including the OPOC serving as the point of contact for the registrant and performing the RELAY, REVEAL and REMEDY functions. (2) Consent (sections 2.4,, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 4): Change section 2.4 as follows: "Given the OPOC acts the agent point of contact for the Registrant and has certain obligations, the OPOC must consent to being an OPOC, including consent to perform the RELAY, REVEAL and REMEDY functions as described below." Similar consistent changes are made in the other sections. Section 4 would include a new first paragraph: "The consent of the OPOC to act as the point of contact for the registrant and to perform the RELAY, REVEAL and REMEDY functions must be obtained and is integral to compliance and enforcement of the OPOC's duties." I continue to have strong concerns that the OPOC system, as reflected in draft version 1.4, does not adequately create incentives for OPOCs to properly fulfill their duties. Further, as I mentioned in the conference call, the weak link posed by the OPOC not only creates cost and delay, but encourages those who wish to engage in wrongful activity to register as self-declared natural persons.

Philip has revised the report to show the changes discussed on yesterday's call. The report also includes in Annex 2 the relevant Registrar Accreditation Agreement provision regarding Whois data accuracy, i.e. that wilful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, or failure to correct information is a material breach which is a basis for cancellation of the registered name.
