TUCOWS/OpenSRS can provide many examples if they want to. I have recently
discovered that instead of actually deleting a domain during the initial 5
day period when the registry will allow them to, they leave the domain
active, credit the registration fee back to the registrant/RSP, and write
the amount off on their tax return. The domain is still listed as being
owned by the person who registered it.
Beyond the initial 5 days of registration, a registrar could send the
account to collections, or they could put the domain on registrar-hold so it
would not work until the registrar received payment:
REGISTRAR-HOLD: The registrar of the domain sets the domain to this
status. The domain can not be modified or deleted when in this status.
The registrar MUST remove REGISTRAR-HOLD status to modify the domain.
The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL NOT be included in the
zone file when in this status.
