>* How is ?registration? defined

The main issue as far as I can see is this:

can abuse happen only at the point where the registration is originally
made, or can it also occur if:

a) a registration is renewed - and the abusive conduct, whatever we
define that to be, exists at the time of renewal.

b) at any point, if there have been changes to circumstances such that
an identical original registration happening then would be regarded as
abusive.

As a new example, these are apparently the T&C of dot-pro:

        "... you agree that you are a person or entity who provides
        professional services and has been admitted to or licensed by,
        and is in good standing with, a government certification body or
        jurisdictional licensing entity recognized by a governmental
        body, which body requires that its members be licensed or
        admitted to a certifying or licensing entity and regularly
        verifies the accuracy of its data."

So, what happens if that "good standing" is revoked by the relevant body
- if you fail to cancel the .pro domain name, at what point (if ever)
does that become an abusive registration?

[As always, this is not a criticism of any one registry's operations,
just an example in an attempt to clarify our thinking].
