[nc-deletes] Impact


Jordyn,

Recommendation
--------------------------
Domain Names not explicitly renewed must be deleted by the end of the grace period.

Implementable - yes
Technical impact - Low
Cost - Low
Acceptance - High

However, based on the recent thread regarding registrar delete/renewal practices I would like to suggest that we modify the first recommendation of issue 1 to something like:

"If a domain name is not explicitly renewed by the registrant, the registrar must issue a delete request for that name no later than 45-days after the initial registration period agreed to by the registrant. If the domain name has entered an expiration grace period, it must be deleted no later than the last day of that grace period."

We could elaborate on our reasons since it may not be immediately obvious why the first sentence is necessary.

Recommendation
--------------------------
Deletion/Renewal policies at time of registration, and in a conspicuous place.

Implementable - yes
Technical impact - Low
Cost - Low
Acceptance - High

Recommendation
--------------------------
Redeeming a name from the RGP that was deleted for inaccurate WHOIS data will
require documentation of new, verified WHOIS information.

Implementable - Not as stated.

I would recommend that we elaborate on this based on the work of the WHOIS TF and the WHOIS Implementation committee as follows:

"...the registrar must warrant that it has taken commercially reasonable steps (e.g. apply some heuristic automated data validation techniques (possibly via an automated tool centrally provided by ICANN)) to check that the new WHOIS information is plausible.
If the domain name was deleted for inaccurate WHOIS data as the result of a dispute resolution process or a court order, the domain name may NOT be redeemed from the Redemption Grace Period."

Or some similar to that. By trying to stay in line with the WHOIS TF work we can minimize the impact and maximize acceptance of our recommendations.

Tim
