[cabfpub] Domain validation

Reviving this older thread. It seems that both:


1.       Forum has concerns around relying only on whois database or email address since the whois database might not be accurate

2.       MS still has concerns for #6 not being at par with the rest of validation mechanism proposed

So, can we get to a point where both concerns are addressed by modifying the requirement as: "#6 continues to be accepted, only if other validation methods failed to work. CAs then keep documentation on why they decided to accept #6. "

This is an awfully subjective argument.

Per the last WHOIS accuracy report from ICANN, email is accurate 90% of the time.

Can you explain how an email can not be accurate in respect to the domain control validations? If an email doesn't exist that's obviously another matter which has no impact.
