Who interprets it that way?

I'm not sure if we're going to include any language on accuracy  
notions or role accounts with our drafting.  If so, here's some 
proposed language on role accounts:

	The Task Force notes that some interpretations of the  
	current policy consider the common practice of using  
	so-called "role accounts" for the administrative, technical, 
	and billing contacts as "inaccurate WHOIS data".  We note  
	that this practice -- under the assumption that the given  
	contact data are useable and indeed lead to a responsible  
	person (although not explicitly naming that person) -- is a  
	way to make the maintenance of WHOIS records easier, thereby 
	helping to avoid unnecessary inaccuracies.  It should, for  
	this reason, at least be tolerated, and not by itself be 
	considered as a reason for an accuracy inquiry.

PS - Marilyn: My guess about AT&T was wrong.
