[gnso-rpm-wg] URS / UDRP proposals -- data on registrar/registry compliance costs

[Jonathan Frost]

For instance, there is ambiguity about what action a registry should take
when a domain which is already the subject of a URS judgement & lifetime
lock receives a UDPR judgement that requires unlock & transfer.  The URS
rules don't account for this situation, and by their letter, require that
the domain not be unlocked.  However, the registries are also required to
comply with consensus policies (such as UDRP).
