RE: [registrars] Domain Drops and WLS Proposal?

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

Then perhaps there should simply be no WLS sold on domains during the first
45 days following an auto-renewal.

But, that situation never happens, because the domains auto-renew.

Lets say that an expiry date is July 19,2002.  The day we hit it, the expiry
date becomes July 19, 2003 automatically, because the registry auto-renews
the domain.

We then have 45 days to delete it, and get a full credit back.  But domains
really never are "past expiry" (or at least, the registry doesn't know it).
The Registry has no way of knowing when we get paid by the Registrant for a
domain.  They only know if we delete the domain.

Rob.

I agree with Bruce on this for a variety of reasons.
If there is no WLS on a name by the time it expires,
then a WLS should be prohibited from being placed on that name,
until it is either renewed (during the 45-day period most likely)
or until it is deleted and re-registered.

Or even better.  Exclude names that have not been renewed by the expiry date
from WLS.
