DNMSL 'oddities' followed up
During the DNMSL sanction scrutiny I found several things I thought were odd.

The first was that DNMSL could hold hundreds of names as registrar but still be listed on the DNC website as "Authorised but not connected". This term was original used to determine which Registrars had been approved by the DNC but not yet met the NZRS requirements for production access to the registry. It seems that after the new registry went live this term was still used but only in a manner of that the registrar may not have met all the DNC policy requirements and was not actively being promoted as a Registrar by the DNC.

After talking to the DNC office it was agreed that the term could be misleading and it was changed to "Registrars authorised".

The second thing that I found odd was that a name that had a status of pendingdelete had the Include in DNS? flag set to yes. Most people would think that means the name is actually in the DNS but pendingrelease status took priority and the name would not be in the DNS. I spoke to the DNC office about this and it was decided that consultation among registrars would occur in the future about changing the flag of Include in DNS? to no when the status was changed to pendingrelease.
