...the effect would seem to be that this change prevents registrars from not deleting domains after their grace period.
Dear Jim: I believe that it was at the Rome meeting that Dan Halloran brought that to our attention. That was why the NSI and Tucows initiatives seemed wrong to me.
In the past, there was some ambiguity in the term "cancel the registration." For example, I recall that NSI sometimes interpreted this to mean that they need not actually delete it.
It seems to me that ICANN is now trying to prevent this, and force domains to be deleted. Still, I wonder if the new language will accomplish that goal? What does everyone else think?
Unless NSI and Tucows can counter the ICANN directive. I have heard that NSI and Tucows are trying to make it a provision in their RRA documents. Cordially, BobC
