RE: [registrars] Deletes Task Force Report

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@register.com>]

Tim - thank you for distributing the report for comments.  I have 2.  

a) the report states that registrars decline or fail to issue a delete command.  While that is true, it implies willfulness or error by the registrar. But, there are many cases of registrants creating "charge backs" pot-45 day period.  This still leaves registrars "holding the bag," but with no way of having prevented it.  I think that this situation should be included in the explanation in order to give a full picture of circumstances around missed deletions.

b) recommendations 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 don't really change current rules, which prohibit registrars from registering names without a registrant.  So, what is the practical effect? To auto-delete, instead of auto-renew?  If that is the case, registries should certainly not charge registrars during the 45 days.

Regards, Elana
