Dear all,
Following the numbers being thrown around in the recent emails, It would be of interest to know the average number of domains an end customer holds. And maybe also the maximum number of domains an end customer holds, to have an idea of the extreme case scenario.
This would give us a better estimate of the work needed to be done when doing ADC. [End customer means actual registrants, excluding Resellers and Privacy & Proxy Services]
Having 100.000 abusive reports in total says nothing about the overhead of a possible ADC. Maybe ADC would actually help because the reports would be handled in groups instead of one by one (because, as you know, when you are "in the zone" you get more work
done compared to starting and stopping and constantly switching contexts).
For example, if the average ownership is 100 domains per end customer, you would have to check an additional 99 domains of that customer when one of his domains is reported. Better do it as a group, instead of waiting to do it 100 times in total at some point.
PLUS, you can use heuristics, like, if you verify that 20 of the 100 domains of the customer are abusive, and using other available information and indicators (e.g. everything being registered via API and on the same day), you can just deactivate all 100 of
the domains and nobody will complain about it (without even having to check further, saving lots and lots of resources). On the contrary, acting on each of the reports that will come in the future is way more resource intensive.
And can we have some examples of real scenarios when an ADC would be detrimental to the resource use of the Registrar? So we can validate or not this argument, or any other related argument, or plan appropriate safeguards, instead of dismissing a good practice
(i.e. the ADC triggered every time).
