Scott, in section 2 you said "(TBD: should the report be submitted through
the protocol (as part of the <restore>) or an out-of-band facility such as
a web site?)"

I would prefer if there is a mechanism in the protocol to submit the
reports.  Recently VGRS started an IDN renewal period extension program
that would allow registrars to have extra time to convince customers to
renew IDN domains.  This program required that the IDN domains first be
deleted and then restored, with the restore reports being submitted via
the Registrar Tool website.

The amount of manual work required to submit the restore report via the
website made this solution ineffective.  A mechanism for us to submit
the reports through the protocol would have allowed us to participate
in this program.
