> Here is a description and an objective should you want to submit it:

> *Session Title:*
> *"Accuracy in WHOIS: Defining, Debating, and Aligning on Proportionate
> Approaches"*
>
> *Session Description:*
> Accuracy of domain name registration data, commonly referred to as
> "WHOIS/RDDS data", remains a contested concept within ICANN processes. This
> cross-community session invites all stakeholder groups to share
> perspectives, experiences, and expectations surrounding accuracy
> requirements in WHOIS/RDDS data.
>
> Different communities define accuracy in very different ways. For the
> Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG), accuracy must be limited to
> *contactability*, to avoid unnecessary interference with privacy and
> expression rights. In contrast, some other stakeholders often advocate for
> *identifiability* of registrants, viewing accuracy as a means of
> attribution and enforcement. Security-focused groups such as the SSAC have
> highlighted risks and tradeoffs in SAC129, including the need for clarity
> in what "accuracy" means in varying use cases and whether existing policies
> provide sufficient mechanisms for achieving appropriate levels of data
> reliability. But when discussing all this at ICANN, we should not lose
> sight of its limited mission.
>
> The session aims to:
>
>    -
>
>    Map the diverse interpretations of “accuracy” across communities and
>    allow them to understand each others concerns and perspectives
>    -
>
>    Discuss how proportionality and rights-respecting principles can guide
>    accuracy efforts, particularly under applicable data protection and privacy
>    standards and considering ICANN's mission;
>    -
>
>    Discuss what other principles should be applied when discussing
>    accuracy
>
> The session aims to foster open dialogue across diverse perspectives
> including registrars, registries, technical experts, civil society, and
> government representatives, intellectual property and businesses, ALAC and
> others to help shape a common understanding of what proportionate and
> effective accuracy policies could look like in the evolving DNS landscape.
>
> This will be a truly cross-community session and it's not an NCSG session,
> if approved, stakeholders interested will join to shape the session.

>>> as well as the slide deck attached. Below are the summarized main points

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>    1. *Feedback from ICANN83, Prague*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> The overall impression was positive. The closeness to public transport
>>> was appreciated, as was the venue and the size and setup of the rooms. We
>>> were reminded of the importance of accessibility to the venue and to
>>> sessions. The Meetings team was congratulated on the speed with which these
>>> issues were resolved. It was noted that wide availability of power outlets
>>> will be very beneficial to attendees, though it was understood that this is
>>> largely dependent on the venue.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>    2. *ICANN84 location change to Dublin*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Following the announcement
>>> <https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann84-annual-general-meeting-relocated-30-06-2025-en?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5QoxCs6JbycvpcmoHsJvuPJmuvrf2wLc7r47ci8v1UcKM9xygwlKpty5HHNg_aem_M--NCBkRMsINnrgPJmsxvA>
>>> published on Monday 30 June 2025, the location of ICANN84 is now Dublin.
>>> Further information on travel as well as hotels will be published on the
>>> ICANN meeting website shortly.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>    3. *ICANN84 Block Schedule and timeline*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> The proposed block schedule (see attached) has been updated with an
>>> additional proposed community session on Thursday, in addition to the
>>> session already scheduled on Monday. This proposal reflects the importance
>>> of the topic of Reviews that was evident at ICANN83. By having a second
>>> community session on the final day, following the traditional Constituency
>>> Day meetings and joint sessions, the thought was that ICANN84 would provide
>>> a productive opportunity for the Board and community to advance the work.
>>> It was agreed that there will need to be inter-sessional preparations and
>>> discussions to enable the work to move forward expeditiously, as well as a
>>> possible Prep Week session.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> A few other topics were proposed as potential plenary ideas for a
>>> community session. It was noted that the overall schedule may be
>>> sufficiently flexible to allow for some topics to be hosted by specific
>>> SOAC groups as open plenaries, which is already the practice in one or two
>>> groups. The main idea is to make sure that any community sessions and other
>>> plenary-type sessions are confirmed and placed on the block schedule prior
>>> to the opening of the Event Management System request period, to allow for
>>> maximum flexibility and for each group to decide how it wishes to schedule
>>> its own sessions.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> As per the timeline (attached), a deadline of Friday 11 July was
>>> proposed for members of the ICANN meeting Planning Team to consult with
>>> their community groups as per the action item below.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>    4. *Action Items – by Friday July 11 2025 *
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *All: *Kindly consult with your community members and raise any
>>> objection to the idea of holding two community sessions on the topic of
>>> ICANN reviews on this ICANN Meeting Planning mailing list
>>>
>>> *All:* Kindly consider the additional topics (listed below) for
>>> sessions proposed during the Kick Off call, and indicate if your group
>>> supports including any of them at ICANN84. Please also share any suggestion
>>> you or your group may have about how to accommodate additional topics in
>>> the ICANN84 schedule.
>>>
>>>    - The Applicant Support Program (Jonathan Zuck)
>>>    - The topic of Accuracy (Rafik Dammak)
>>>    - AFRINIC & WSIS +20 (Sebastien Bachollet)
>>>
>>> *All*: Bearing the above in mind, please share any additional topics
>>> your group believes should also be considered as a session of broad
>>> community interest at ICANN84, and your suggestions for how to accommodate
>>> it.
>>>
>>> *Topic Proposers*: Please share further details about the topic you
>>> have proposed, e.g., session objectives, format, scope and desired outcomes
>>> ASAP. This will help the group decide, if necessary, what topic(s) should
>>> be accommodated at ICANN84 and why.
