While fully agreeing with Michele, some remarks from a ccTLD Manager's perspective:

[...] Besides 'domain ownership' being an intriguing issue by and in itself, in reality a user neither knows what any of this is about, nor cares. We see scenarios like this regularly: Janice in Accounting (the one who don't give an eff :-)-O) doesn't know why they are paying a small amount to an unknown company and stops it. After a while everybody wonders why nothing works any longer and it is a long, difficult and expensive exercise to find out that the domain name hasn't been renewed. If it hasn't been drop caught (which within .NA is rare, tbh) To expect them to pass tokens around? We can't even get them to forward auth tokens to their new Registrars even though we are small so we can even do a little hand holding once in a while. On scale? Impractical. greetings, el -- Eberhard W.
