Re: [registrars] WG: [council] Domain Tasting Design Team Proposed GNSO Council Motion



In this case , why not having a minimum treshold of let's say 1500 , but per a quarter , not per month. That way a registrar suffers from a wave of fraud attack, can use all the quarterly forgiveness, and an average of 500/month is definitely not sufficient for tasters even if they use a collection of 100 registrars. A by quarter solution may also prevent the need for a manual process.

My point is that any solution or treshold must take into account the needs of a relative small registrar who really suffers from those fraud "attacks" coming in waves every few months, (that is in addition to the ongoing fraudulent attempts etc..).

Good point Bruce.  That certainly was not the intent, but you are quite
right, it could be a by-product.

What I am most concerned about is the one time unusual high levels a
registrar might see.  I think one could set the threshold low for
typical, routine transactions. But there should be a way to say,"Hey, I
have a unique case here and I need help".

I know this may sound unwieldy, but I think we would all know one when
we see one.  So as painful as it sounds, there probably needs to be
manual over-ride process for the one time problems.  I would hate to see
a small Registrar go out of business because of a systems problem.

Rob.

Hello Rob,


I am concerned about percentages, as it allows registrars that are
larger to offer services that the smaller ones can not.  For
example, a
large registrar could offer tasting still, because of their size based
on the percentage system.

So I prefer just a flat number that we are all allowed.

Although that then benefits those with large portfolios of registrar
accreditations.
e.g if you have a 100 registrars and 1000 names per registrar - that
provides a tasting pool of 100,000 names.

Sounds like we are creating another thread game.

Alternatively you could just remove a threshold percentage but drop the
amount that needs to be paid during the first 5 days.  e.g 10 cents
instead of 20 cents for example.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
