I think NCUC should support the below request from ALAC for an Issues  
Report on the recovery of expired domain names.

At the very least we will have a better understanding of what is  
happening from the creation an Issues Report - a good place to begin.

The working group will be open for participation to interested  
individuals, so please join if so inspired!

Thanks,
Robin

> At its October 14th teleconference, the ALAC voted to request an
