Any direct contact between OpenSRS and the registrant, which presumably
would be required if Open SRS manages "some sort of paper/legal trust
system", would be contrary to the concept of "wholesale domain
registration".
>From the OpenSRS home page, "Our strict B2B focus means the service
provider-client relationship remains yours to control, and we provide you
with access to the domain registry at a price point and service level that
can't be matched by an 'end-user' focused registrar."
I'm for improved security, but please don't lose sight of your original
purpose. Give the RSP the ability to lock and unlock, and to put domains on
hold for non-payment. If the registrant cannot trust the RSP to handle
this, they should find another service provider. If the RSP breaches the
contract, either with the registrant or with OpenSRS, there are legal
remedies available.

This is definitely coming.
I would like to take an informal poll...
Now, I know that this may be hard to objectively comment on, but please
try. :) We will look at this more formally before releasing it, but to
satisfy my curiosity:
This (locking a name) is something that most people in the industry charge
for, generally quite a reasonable fee. There is an admin overhead in
dealing with the unlocking of names as necessary (after they have been
locked, some sort or paper/legal trust system would need to be in place to
handle this). Since we would manage that part (likely), how would you feel
we should charge for this? How much?
Thanks -
