Curious if others have changed their databases' criteria to a broader interpretation of lost to mean no postal address, email, or phone. Prior, many of us coded an entity as lost if we did not have a postal address, even if we had a valid phone and/or email. Looking at VSE and CASE Global Reporting Standards, legally contactable now includes those elements:
Number Legally Contactable: An individual who is not marked as deceased, for whom you have a means of contact (phone, postal address, or email address), and who does not have a total "no contact" status (for any purpose or by any means).
