Restored Names Accuracy Policy

Restored Names Accuracy Policy addresses how registrars handle domain registrations that have been deleted due to inaccurate Whois information.[1] According to this ICANN policy, if a deleted name is restored, it "must be placed on Registrar Hold status until the registrant has provided updated and accurate Whois information."[1] This policy is meant to ensure the validity of Whois information.
