[nc-whois] WHOIS: RAA 3.7.7, 3.7.8?

[Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>]

Dan,

during today's WHOIS task force telephone conference, there was some 
discussion on, replacing the cancellation of a domain name 
subsequent to an accuracy complaint (RAA 3.7.7.2) by a procedure 
which would put that domain name on hold, in order to make it easier 
to reclaim the domain name in those cases in which the registrant 
may not be able to answer to the inquiry within the fifteen day 
period, but could provide accurate contact data afterwards.

It seems to me that this specific clause would not be a designated  
area for an ICANN consensus policy (RAA 3.7.8+).  Is that  
interpretation correct?  If so, how would such a change be  
implemented, if at all?

Also (on a topic which lead to a somewhat more contentious debate  
on the task force, so this is surely not a priority item at this  
point of time) how would a change to the fifteen day period in RAA 
3.7.7.2 be implemented?

Regards,
