For accuracy, our principles is that accuracy is solely about contactability, no matter how much research is done to show identity verification reduces abuse, identification of domain name registrants has so many human rights and privacy implications. We shouldn't combat abuse through intrusive, privacy violating mechanisms. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">We also want to discuss their DNS blocking report.
