It ought to depend on what the contract says. If a registrar has
provided two years for the price of one, then that's not really covered
by what I suggested because there is still a contract in place between
the registrar and the registrant. 

What I was trying to get at is the situation in which a registrar has
contracted with a registrant for a one-year term but purchased two years
(or more) from the registry. When that one-year contract expires, there
is no longer a registrant for the domain name. Why shouldn't that name
be deleted? And if it's not deleted, who is the registrant? Who is it
exactly who is bound by the UDRP, the whois accuracy requirements, etc.?
