Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery Policy Development Process
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR RESPONSE AT THE LATEST BY FRIDAY 18 SEPTEMBER TO THE PEDNR WG ([log in to unmask])
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.

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).
