Agreed and my apologies for not being clear. Registrars are unable =20
to curtail current levels of fraud without significant changes in how =20=
domains are acquired. Consider registrar related fraud as a separate =20=
and perhaps even fruitless topic.
The recommendation was for registries to provide a preview of the =20
next day's zone. A preview can reduce the amount of protective data =20
required, and increase the timeframe alloted to push correlated =20
threat information to the edge. This correlated threat information =20
can act in a preemptive fashion to provide a significant improvement =20
in security. This added level of protection can help defeat expected =20=
and even unexpected threats that are becoming far too common as well.
