Scott,

I agree, it wouldn't be the right thing to do to have non RGP stuff in the
existing document without changing it's name.  I guess I was really asking
is there an intent to make it a more general "grace periods" document.  As
you say this may or may not be necessary.

For clarity, perhaps I should explain my understanding of the "new" grace
periods suggested in the Deletes Task Force report.  It seems to all boils
down to: a registrar being able to get a credit / refund for any domain
creation, renewal, or transfer as long as they delete the domain within 5
days of the creation, renewal, or transfer (which then leads to the
redemption grace period except during the add grace period).

To me the "pending" status values don't really seem to describe this
situation adequately to a registrar as they don't distinguish between
"action not finished" and "action refundable".

I guess the most important thing is that all registries implementing the
Deletes Task Force's suggested grace periods expose this information
consistently.  How are other people doing this at the moment?

Antony.
