[registrars] Proliferation of registrar locks

[Paul Lecoultre(CORE secretariat)]

Hi,

I won't play with words, as you will probably do it better.

The fact is that the current policy never expected that most
of the registrars will switch on by default lock, and that the one
that didn't put the "customer protection" will do it to follow
the trend.

I'm more interested to know why registrars choose to put domains
on lock after reading the policy. How can we expect that customers
will understand the new policy if registrars are doing the contrary?

Some registrars like to answer "let the market choose" and
therefore I ask the question to registrars that switch recently why
they didn't let "the market decide"?

I appreciate all the works that have been done for this policy
and I believe that it will indeed help the community in a way. However
registrars that put a by default lock after reading the policy haven't
at my eyes understand the policy and its purpose.

"I think its appropriate to wait and see what precedents and actions they
(ICANN) take to clarify this in the coming months".

Shouldn't we define instead the first step?

Regards,

Paul
