RE: [nc-deletes] NSI's Comment on Deletions

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@godaddy.com>]

I'm just telling you all what Brian told me. I am not defending it,
agreeing with it, arguing with it, or trying to explain it beyond that.

The part that Marcia is concerned about is the cost to get a domain name
out of the RGP. She was pretty clear about that.

Monday's are a bad day, but I could make it work.

This wasn't clear to me from the comments.  In fact, it's completely
unclear to me exactly which portion of the "uniform deletion practice"
he is referring to.  It seems that he is objecting to the entire concept
of requiring that names be deleted without a renewal, which is
unsurprising considering that NSI has historically had one of the
largest stockpiles of unrenewed yet undeleted names.

Is it?  It seems to me a lot of her arguments indicate that names should
get deleted *faster*.

Now that the comment period is closed, we should do so soon.
Unfortunately, I already have calls scheduled at our usual time
throughout the rest of the week.  How about Monday?
