[comments-deletes] Flawed Recommendation 3.1.2


Recommendation 3.1.2 is seriously flawed.  As currently written it states:  
"Domain names must be deleted within 45 days of the expiration of the 
registration agreement between the registrar and registrant, unless the 
agreement is renewed."

Allowing a variable time frame for deletions (any given date within that 
45-day period) will create registrant confusion, and will create an incentive 
for registrars to put through delete commands immediately upon the start of 
the Auto-Renewal Grace period in order to take advantage of the lucrative 
opportunities provided by the Redemption Grace period (as exemplified by the 
$200 charges now being administered by certain registrars to restore the 
domain name). 

A recommended revision:  Domain names must be deleted on the 45th day 
following the expiration of the registration agreement between the registrar 
and registrant, unless the agreement is renewed.
