SSAC and Accuracy

[gopal]

Thank you Farzaneh. This was nice note to read.

Thinking Aloud:

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.

Precision refers to the consistency and reproducibility of a measurement.

In simpler terms, accuracy is about hitting the target, and precision is about hitting the same spot repeatedly, regardless of whether it's the target or not. Amy spot that is hit many times is statistically "a point".

The "Human Element" emerges more clearly if Accuracy and Precision are taken together.

Subject: SSAC and Accuracy

Hi all,

As mentioned we had a meeting with SSAC in ICANN 83. It was a great conversation. They have recently issued their "accuracy" comment which unfortunately believes data collection purpose is for the identification of the domain name registrants:

"Usability: Inaccurate data hinders the intended purpose of data collection, impacting
communication and identification." https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/security-and-stability-advisory-committee-ssac-reports/sac-129-07-07-2025-en.pdf#page=3.20

We told them we can help them with understanding the human rights and societal impact of their documents and comments. Maybe now is the time to talk to them.
