Sorry - don't want to flood you with comments - but which of his 
comments, and how?

I disagree with your statement. That paragraph does not define any 
country-dependant mechanism, does not refer to undefined concepts such 
as "accuracy", nor it requires the creation of a new set of reference 
values.

Furthermore, that paragraph deals with the situation where the protocol 
is not able to return the values it is built to return, because of 
policy constraints; the protocol needs to be able to cope with this 
situation, or, simply, it won't work. But that paragraph does not 
require the protocol to start supporting new data elements or extend it 
over its original purpose.

As for ICANN's SECSAC recommendation, as you possibly know, ICANN has 
just started a policy making process to deal with that and other 
recommendations, and to verify the consensus on whether Whois contact 
data elements should be changed and how. So before talking about extra 
items to be communicated by the protocol, I think it would be wiser to 
wait for that process to finish. It will not take long.

Then (replying to your other message):

Do you mean that registries return fake *registrar* information?

Thanks,
