Actually, I have quite a few concerns about this.  
Isn't this what the 45 day "Grace Period" after the renewal date is for?
Don't most registrars pull the name from resolving shortly after the
expiration date anyway if the renewal fees are unpaid?

What this effectively does is give VGRS COMPLETE control over deletions
from ALL registrars.  They cannot seem to actually delete names in a timely
manner from thier own registrar, are we to believe that with the additional
load that names will now be released on schedule?  This proposal seems to
create more opportunities for mischief than the current system, both from
registrars and the registry, not to mention the obvious opportunity for
fraudulent "retrievals".

Why not invoke a mandatory "on hold" status period during the 45 day grace
period and set a uniform deletion process/cycle for ALL registrars to
follow uniformly using this 45 day window?  There is already an option to
include this standard in the RAA agreement, why not use that rather than
add yet another layer of  useless process?  If ALL registrars were required
to place a name on hold for AT LEAST 30 days during the 45 day window and
to delete at the end of that period, we would have all of the "benefits" of
this proposal and also solve the hoarding problem that we are facing today.
