[gnso-irtpd] here's the little summary of that sequence of events i rattled off on the call just now -- registrant role in TDRP

Tue Dec 3 15:51:12 UTC 2013

Hi Mike,

you are assuming that registrants should be beneficiaries of the TDRP. 
They are not. Therefore a registrar not initiating a TDRP is not 
blocking the registrants access as they do not have such an access in 
the first place.

If you want to give the registrant a way to force a registrar to 
initiate a proceeding against another registrar, that is another story, 
but that way needs to include an obligation of the registrant to pay the 
costs and a right of a registrar to charge for this service (to cover 
the work needed to handle the process).
