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.
