Yes it should be... but Many domain registrants I know do not know about DNS or ICANN or registrars. They do not really care. They got a name helped by a friend or small local IT provider for their hobby, book, artwork, photos, family site. In time that friend moves on or dies, the records in DNS suffer the usual entropy and fail to keep up. It is not they are bad actors - just that the way the DNS is managed is completely bonkers from their perspective and they just don't know that their email used is with a provider that stopped providing email and is no longer working or even that it is still the registered email for the domain or even there is a registrar site they got login details for three or five years ago where they can manage all of that.

Robotic suspensions between renewals based purely on email failures are the abuse that needs fixing here - no?
This is not or most certainly should not be about numbers or percentages as a proportion of overall domain holdings but whether there is a real registrant who needs support but is being swamped from fair treatment by the mass speculation in the DNS.
I disagree. It should be is there a real registrant who provided truthful and valid information.
Has anyone looked at the numbers to see if there was valid information and valid registrants?
