Re: [registrars] WHOIS expiration date for Auto-renewed domains

["Joyce Lin" <joyce@007names.com>]

I agree that the expiry date should only be changed at the end of 45 day or
an explicit renew has taken place. It may be a good idea that during the 45
day period or before an explicit renew the whois has either "Pending Auto
Renew"  or "Auto Renew On' as the domain status.
