[registrars] Ballot Request: Adopt as Constituency Position

[Jay Westerdal]

Paul,
I would propose Registries follow a documented procedure for showing
expiration date since they are not authoritative instead of just hiding the
field flat out:

On expiration:
A) if Auto-renewed by Registry
   1) Hide Expiration date with the words "Pending Registrar Action".
   2) After 45 days, set expiration date to be a year from initial
Expiration Date.
B) if Explicitly renewed by Registrar
   1) Show new date 

Ross if you would like to except this as a friendly amendment I would second
your initial motion. I am not in favor of taking the expiration date away
from ISP, Hosting Companies, Advisers, Friends, and Family of the domain
owners at the Registry level but everything else in your motion looks good.

Because then we'd all have to transmit another command to the registry
if the registrant paid during the 45-day period.

Dear Paul:  Why not ask registries or ICANN to have the registry whois
say 
"auto-renewed" (or something like that) until the 45 days passes unless
the 
registrar executes an explicit renewal?  Regards, BobC
