Maybe this is a dumb question, but why not require registrars to display the registry expiration date? They already have it, it requires no EPP extensions, and it's the registrar that's confusing (if things are confused) by exposing a different date than is held by the registry.

Hello Ann,

The registrar has the registry’s expiration date from the last time it got the domain info. This does not always match, as previously described in the thread. I would argue that the worse problem is that we’re trying to show the registrant two different dates — the use cases that lead to this are present and sort out by themselves, with the processes we all have in place now. By showing the two dates side by side, we’re simply highlighting a non-issue and converting it to a concern on the registrant’s mind.
