The three options right now include: I am not working in a Registrar right now, but was 6 months ago, and hope to be soon again.

The typical use case is: > 1. Domain is auto renewed > 2. Registrar deletes Domain via a <domain:delete> > 3. Registrar sends an <rgp:request> with an optional <rgp:period> element. > 4. Registrar sends an <rgp:report> > 5. Domain is ok For me, this is the cleaner way, since RGP is a totally new feature. We could imagine that it is used for contacts[1], for example, and then domain:renew would not apply easily. Ditto for any other objects managed at the Registry. [1] with new requirements to check contacts' validity, we can imagine that someone would like to work as: when a contact is not validated, delete it, but then provide the functionnality of a restore, as a last chance. -- Patrick. ``Never argue with an idiot.
