RE: [nc-deletes] two additional issues
Title: RE: [nc-deletes] two additional issues (1) agree - let's opt for the 180 days. (2) how did it work with registrars who did this? Was it effectively a two for the price of one deal or does the registrant think that they just have a one year. Jane -----Original Message-----
(1) While looking for a citation for the number of expired but non-deleted names, it occurred to me that our draft report does not explicitly account for clearing out any backlog of such names. On a going forward basis, we recommend that all expired domains be deleted within a time certain, but what about names that expired in the past? Perhaps we should add a provision that states that all such names should be deleted within 180 days of the policy taking effect. (The longer window would avoid a situation in which hundreds of thousands of names are deleted all at once.) (2) I'm also aware of another situation that we may not have acccounted for. During its landrush, I believe that Afilias required initial .info registrations to last two years. Some registrars offered a one-year registration to users, however, and ate the second year. My understanding is that the name should be deleted when the registrar's contract with the registrant expires, even if addditional years exist between the registrar and the registry. Have we made that clear enough in the draft recommendation?
