Re: [registrars] Delete Issue Update #1
Rick, The proposal you list for myself (rob@momentous.ca) is not mine. I don't remember who made it. The suggestion I made can be found in the list archives at http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/registrars/Arc01/msg00961.html I have included it below as well. It was also interesting to read the new "State of the domain report for July" that was just released. In it, they list most of the suggestions for dealing with the deletion of domain names, and they critique each one. While I don't agree with all their points, they do provide some thoughts that will certainly be part of any debate on which way to go. Rob. ************************************************************************************************************************************* [registrars] Deletion of domain name problems · · · · · · · · It seems to me, as Ross stated, that the problem is caused by the method in which domains are deleted. If we move to deleting them throughout the day, this will just make the problem worse, as multiple connections will be held all day as opposed to just in the morning hours. What about moving to a queuing system for deleted domains such as what .info ran for their landrush. The entire point of their queues was to deal with the high volume of initial registration, and this is exactly the same problem we are seeing with domains being deleted by the registry. Would it not be possible for the registry to put all deleted domains aside each day, and allow registrars to queue the domains they wanted and deal with the assigning of these domains OUTSIDE of the normal RRP process. This would get rid of the load on the RRP, and provide a fair way for registrars to register these deleted domains. I realize this may take some new system development, but if we can agree to start down this path, it will solve a problem that is only going to get much worse. Rob.
