Request for Constituency Statement from NCUC on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery Policy Development Process

[Robin Gross]

Dear All,

We should develop a constituency statement to submit to the newly  
forming working group on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery.       
We need volunteers to join this new working group and volunteer to  
take the lead in developing NCUC's position on this policy matter.    
Anyone can join and all are invited.  In particular, anyone who has  
had difficulty recovering an expired domain name should please  
participate and help bring your experience to the policy development  
forum.    The deadline for constituency statements to the new working  
group is 18 Sept. but we should begin to pull together volunteers to  
come up with a draft now.   See the details below.

Please let me know if you'd like to volunteer to work on this  
issue.   Thank you!

Best,
Robin

Constituency Input Template

Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery Policy Development Process



PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR RESPONSE AT THE LATEST BY FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER TO  
THE PEDNR WG (gnso-pednr-dt at icann.org)



The GNSO Council has formed a Working Group of interested  
stakeholders and Constituency representatives, to collaborate broadly  
with knowledgeable individuals and organizations, in order to  
consider recommendations for best practices as well as or instead of  
recommendations for Consensus Policy to address a number of questions  
related to post-expiration domain name recovery.



Part of the working group’s effort will be to incorporate ideas and  
suggestions gathered from Constituencies through this Constituency  
Statement. Inserting your Constituency’s response in this form will  
make it much easier for the Working Group to summarize the  
Constituency responses. This information is helpful to the community  
in understanding the points of view of various stakeholders. However,  
you should feel free to add any information you deem important to  
inform the working group’s deliberations, even if this does not fit  
into any of the questions listed below.



For further background information on this issue, please review the  
GNSO Issues Report on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery.



Process

-       Please identify the members of your constituency who  
participated in developing the perspective(s) set forth below.


-       Please describe the process by which your constituency  
arrived at the perspective(s) set forth below.



Questions

Please provide your constituency’s views on:



1.     Whether adequate opportunity exists for registrants to redeem  
their expired domain names;



2.     Whether expiration-related provisions in typical registration  
agreements are clear and conspicuous enough;



3.     Whether adequate notice exists to alert registrants of  
upcoming expirations;



4.     Whether additional measures need to be implemented to indicate  
that once a domain name enters the Auto-Renew Grace Period, it has  
expired (e.g., hold status, a notice on the site with a link to  
information on how to renew, or other options to be determined);



5.     Whether to allow the transfer of a domain name during the  
Redemption Grace Period (RGP).
