Re: [registrars] FYI re: Transfers
Hi to all After i saw the ICANN post, I was reading carefully all your comments on transfer issue and generally about the fact that in people mind (registrants and registrars + generally all contracts between them), a life time for a domain name is one year (365 days). Many of our problems caused by actions took after or near this fateful 365 days period will be simply resolved if we change a place of the expiration date from the place previous to Auto-Renew Grace period to after (as you can see in my plan attached on Scenario 1). This is the way that's working on almost all annual based fees such as insurances or magazine subscription. We must offer the client the possibility to take his decision to keep his domain before its expires and not to allow continuously posterior separates periods for any reason. The most abvious example is the actual life-Cycle! So complicated for nothing?? Registrars are blocking for Reason A or B or C or even inventing some legitime reasons because the domain passed its 365 days life. So it would be nice to receive your comments on this. Maybe i ignore some "reasons" that makes this solution impossible or "bad" or maybe i miss something on this logic? Nevertheless, i would like also to share with you another possibility i considered but still on second position because less obvious but more appropriate to me. At the beginning, i was considering that the "expiration" may come even after the Redemption Grace Period (Scenario 2) and i still beleive on it. This would keep the unconditional alarm effect of a non working domain and wake up the owner. The only problem can because these 30 days RGP inside the 365 days wich are supposed to work should work, and the domain name should stay operational for the paid period. So in such situation, if the registrant do not want to renew his domain name, he may be able to use his domain name for the entire 365 days. How to do this? So the solution is that we don't have to block the domain during the whole 30 days. Once the domain (which has not been renewed on the past Auto-renew Grace period) enter to the RGP and stops working, the owner can decide to renew it (action YES) or to do not renew it (action NO). One of these actions is required to reactivate the domain name. If the answer is NO, the domain will work for the last 30 days before becoming available again, but the owner can change NO into YES at anytime within the 30 days of RGP. It is considered as abandoned after his RGP if NO is not changed into YES. If there is no answer from the owner, it means that he do not care about his domain and his domain is even not active. In such case, the last 30 days of the domain name will stay offline before release and this will not change anything for the owner who do not even know that his domain is not working anymore. This required action is also a good way to make the costumer decide to choose the NO answer with all it's consequences. If the owner wake up during the RGP, he can still renew it at any moment during the last 30 days by answering YES or NO. The registrant can decide to transfer his domain name in any situation before the expiration. The transfer should be initiated before the end of RGP. That would be the only condition. Of course, all requirements to validate a transfer should be established according the RAA rules. Best Regards Sam BAVAFA Domaine.fr P.S.
