[registrars] Continued domain adds and deletes

[Jay Westerdal]

Abuse stopped on the 18th. But then on the 24th they started again using a
different set of name servers to try and hide the situation. Another 20K
registrations in one day. They could be be doing more but I only poked my
head inside the data for about 2 minutes.

I am not sure ICANN or Verisign will do be able to do anything about this.
There is no teeth in the contract in enforce any type of abuse like this.
The Registrars would need to pass a motion and have the board institute it.

Hi,

We had some discussions about the abuse of the add grace period by some
registrars (I think some stats on itsyourdomain.com were published)

I will be talking to icann in a bit about some aspects on this issue. Does
this abuse still continue? Jay do you have stats at hand for the last 'x'
days for registrars where we see this behaviour?
