> The GNSO Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNR) Policy  
> Development Process (PDP) Working Group published its Initial  
> Report [PDF, 1.02 MB] on 31 May. The PEDNR WG was tasked to address  
> questions in relation to what extent registrants should be able to  
> renew their domain names after they expire. At issue is whether the  
> current policies of registrars on the renewal, transfer and  
> deletion of expired domain names are adequate.
>
> In the Initial Report, the WG has reviewed current registrar and  
> ICANN practices regarding domain name expiration, renewal, and post- 
> expiration recovery. Furthermore, in order to assess the views of  
> the WG members and determine where there might be agreement or  
> consensus on a possible approach forward, a survey was conducted  
> amongst the WG membership, details of which are also included in  
> the Initial Report. The WG is now looking for your input on the  
> Initial Report to help inform its deliberations going forward.  
> Comments can be submitted directly to the public comment forum (see  
> http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201008- 
> en.htm#pednr-initial-report) and/or you can provide your input by  
> responding to the following short survey (see http:// 
> www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AUYRGHCV4). As prescribed by the  
> ICANN by-laws, the public comment forum will remain open for a  
> period of 20 days until 1 August 2010.

> Background
>
> At the ICANN Meeting in Cairo in November 2008, the At-Large  
> Advisory Committee (ALAC), voted to request an Issues Report on the  
> subject of registrants being able to recover domain names after  
> their formal expiration date. The ALAC request was submitted to  
> ICANN policy staff and the GNSO Council on 20 November 2008. The  
> Issues Report on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery [PDF, 422 KB]  
> was submitted to the GNSO Council on 5 December 2008. The GNSO  
> Council initiated a PDP on 7 May 2009 and tasked a Working Group to  
> answer the following charter questions:
>
>     * Whether adequate opportunity exists for registrants to redeem  
> their expired domain names;
>     * Whether expiration-related provisions in typical registration  
> agreements are clear and conspicuous enough;
>     * Whether adequate notice exists to alert registrants of  
> upcoming expirations;
>     * 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);
>     * Whether to allow the transfer of a domain name during the RGP .
>
> The Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNR) PDP Working Group  
> started its deliberations in July 2009.
