Give the agreement Tucows had to sign with ICANN a read.
It is very unlikely they could ever allow us to take ownership of a
domain just because the customer failed to pay us. Just as the CC
companies give the consumers 'all' the rights at the expense of the
merchants, ICANN gives the registrants 'all' the rights at the expense
of the registrars and their resellers. (For some definition of 'all'
in each case. :)
However, it *would* be reasonable to put the domain in registrar-hold status.
And it would also be reasonable to refund (to us) any deletes where
NSI refunds them.
As for what happens to an undeletable domain which is in registrar-
hold due to non-payment by the (alleged-)resistrant, I am not sure.
I suspect the UDRP comes into play, but none of the specified terms
for a valid complaint are really applicable....
Or at least that is how I see it, NAL and all that.
