As I said when we discussed this topic at the Chicago OARC meeting, if
you want that to happen, you will have to get consensus in ICANN that
this is in fact a requirement, and that it should be enforced.  You'll
have to get the registration agreements changed.  And then you'll have
to set up a fund that pays for the legal costs that result when
registries attempt to enforce this rule without the ability to notify
registrants that their names are going dark.

I encourage you to take this discussion to the GNSO.  For
ICANN-delegated registrations, that is the only group that actually
has the ability to get this change through.
