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.
