[gnso-impl-irtpc-rt] Re: A possible fix?

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Simonetta.  The new policy lays out several situations under which an FOA 
would no longer be valid. T he problem discussed during today's call was:  How 
will the (would be) Gaining Registrar know that the FOA they are holding is 
invalid?

Also sorry for having missed today's call.
I'm not entirely sure which problem you're trying to solve with the ideas below.
Is this about verifying if an FOA is still valid?

Sorry I missed the call

James:

1 - which registrar? Gaining? Losing? Both?
2 - um .. hangon, unless I'm missing something that would also prevent a 
nameserver update, wouldn't it? (Bear in mind I'm quite tired this evening, so 
I could be wrong)

Regards

Michele

Hi folks.  Hope no one was discouraged following todays call.  These things are 
very difficult (if they weren't anyone could do them)...but not impossible!

So thinking a bit more, I believe we can address some of these issues by 
requiring two practices:

(1) Registrars must take two WHOIS "snapshots":  One to obtain the FOA, and one 
at Transfer execution.
(2) Registries must "lock" (ServerUpdateProhibited, 
ServerTransferProhibited,ServerDeleteProhibited) on all names known to be 
subject to a UDRP or TDRP.

Reasoning:  By comparing the WHOIS record at both occasions, the Gaining 
Registrar can spot any differences in Registrant data or Domain Status. This 
will provide the necessary visibility to invalidate the FOA and re-authorize 
the transfer.

Thoughts?
