I asked on the call if this was a common problem. Seemed to me that 
it would be a rather rare, though the reaction then was that it was 
enough of a concern that it needed addressing. Since, two people from 
the NCC have asked the same question and I'm wondering if there's 
data on how many times a name has been deleted during a UDRP dispute?

I understand that registrars should not be required to pick up the 
costs of something they have no control over. But if it's a rare 
occurrence, perhaps it's not much of an issue? And I can't see how 
the situation could be gamed to put registrars at serious risk.

Thanks,

Adam
