In this case, the registrar took action, not the registry, so it
remains to be seen if a non-US .com registrar (and non-US registrant)
would take the same action. Probably not. Then the question (that I
think you are raising) is would VRSN remove the records from the .com
zone in such a case.

I would  hope not.
