Deleting Domain from Registry on Request?

[sellingonline]

Hey, today I started wondering whether it is possible to delete a CNOI (CNO+Info ) domain before expiry from the registry (like possible for .de domains - you simply tell them to delete and they delete it), is it?

I have tried to find info, but haven't had any success finding the answer yet.

If somebody knows the answer, please let us all know.

Thanks!


PS: Why I'm asking? Well sometimes it is wise to delete a domain from registry+whois immediately to avoid trouble (picture a domainname where you find out later that it could be a problem in regards to trademarks/brands - you simply want to get rid of it, don't you?)

It depends on the registrar's policy implementing such requests. Several years ago I requested the deletion of a .com from Stargate. It was deleted in 24 hours. And last year 2 at GoDaddy - that took about 2 weeks to actually delete.
