As far as I'm aware, the proposed model for gTDL exprirations is to send a
renewal notice to the *RSP* a set period before the expiration. If the domain
still isn't renewed by another set period, OpenSRS will "take over" and send
a renewal notice direct to the client. I think this is the best approach for
both gTLD's and ccTLD's, with a few amendments:
1) The RSP should be able to set the period for the first notice in
their "control panel". I would suggest a month as default. Of course, if this
will affect the overhead on OpenSRS machines, it should be set statically.
2) OpenSRS should decide the period for the second notice. I would suggest a
fortnight as default.
3) The second notice should be spoofed as coming from the RSP; be Blind
Carbon Copied to the RSP; and should contain an RSP-supplied URL for renewal.
4) A third and final notice should be added to the system, say a week before
expiration, which should come direct from OpenSRS. This notice should be
Carbon Copied to the RSP; should contain an informative message about the
situation; and should contain the RSP's details so the client can "check up
on" them.
Optionally, an RSP directory could be added to the OpenSRS website, to which
RSP's can add themselves at their discretion. A link to this directory could
be added to the final notice. (I think a directory is past due now anyway.)
Also optionally, the system could log direct notices and warn or remove RSP's
who aren't fulfilling their duties. There's a lot of messers out there, and
people who don't really know what they're doing - they don't deserve to be
RSP's. It should be left to people with a bit of cop on. Warn after five,
remove after ten?
