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