Changes

Points of agreement include: new [[Whois]] accuracy measures, featuring a challenge-response mechanism for first-time registrants via email or phone verification; addresses submitted will have to meet the Universal Postal Union standards, and phone numbers must conform to [[ITU]] formatting; the address will have to be verified to be an actual location, though proof of residence or ownership by the registrant will not be required; registrants providing false information that fail verification will have 15 days to correct the information before facing suspension of the domains. A further sticking point beyond the unilateral right to amend is ICANN's request that registrars verify their customer records, which tend to be more accurate than [[Whois]] records.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/12182-registrars-and-icann-hit-impasse-on-new-raa Registrars And ICANN Hit Impasse On New RAA, DomainIncite.com] Retrieved 1 April 2013</ref>
