Although when I first saw this mentioned in 
Holly's wiki post, I liked it, but on reflection 
it does not quite work. I can report that Knujon 
is obviously a made up name and is a willful 
attempt to mask your true identity. Or that 
"Garth" is clearly a fabrication. If the 
registrar knows that these are both legitimate, 
should you still be required to provide 
documentation of their validity to the registrar 
within 15 days or loose your domains?

I still like the idea, but that language cannot 
work. Would you accept "Upon a validated report or discovert..."?

Why is this needed when 3.7.8 starts with 
"Registrar shall comply with the obligations 
specified in the Whois Accuracy Program Specification"?
