I don't mind putting forward a recommendation to the Domainz CEO to change the TTL, if all parties agree it is a good thing. I have no doubt that Don Stokes will have an opinion, but getting a consensus would be an excellent starting point. /R Joe Abley wrote:

On the other hand, Domainz could change the arbitrary 24 hour component to something more convenient, and consequently serve their customers better. There is no technical reason I can think of to nail the TTLs at 24 hours instead of choosing a lower value which still presents an acceptable load on the authoritative nameservers.
TTLs on delegations under other TLDs are interesting, but not especially relevant. "That's the way that Verisign Registry does it" is rarely good justification for anything.
