And from that data, PPML can build (and ask) for solutions so that Whois can be made more accurate, and transfer requests can perhaps enjoy a much higher approval and completion percentage.

We don’t currently have anything to indicate what proportion of the unsuccessful transfer attempts were fraudulent.

I would agree that 90% or more of transfer requests with valid documentation should go through. However, merely increasing the success rate without some validation that we are not merely increasing the fraud rate does not improve registry accuracy.

Only if one assumes that 100% of transfer attempts are accurate. So far, there has been little evidence to support such a claim.
