Alan,

I don't think there is a way for the Registrar to actually send a renew
command to the Registry during that 45 day period that would change the
status.

For example, lets say your domain expired on March 10th, 2010.   On
March 20th, you are suggesting that somehow the whois show that domain
is in the 45 day window, and has not yet been renewed.

Now on March 24th, the RAE goes and renews the domain at the Registrar.

If the Registrar sends a "renewal" command, it would add an additional
year for 2 in total.  Ie: the expiry would become March 10th, 2012.

If the Registrar does nothing, the domain will renew on March 10, 2011.

The problem is, the RAE will think he paid for it, so why does the whois
not change.

I think that a lot of Registrars do display information as to the state
of the domain in their whois.  That is different than what the Registry
whois shows.

But it means the customer should be doing the whois on the website of
the Registrar, not through port 43 or at the Registry.

Rob.

Jeff, There is no such system now. What is being suggested is that we 
make a change to have a separate whois field that DOES *clearly* 
reflect whether the RAE has paid for the addition year (or more), or 
if the domain is still in a state where it has expired but there is 
still an opportunity to renew.
