<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Attached is a draft BC Position regarding the Initial Report
produced by the Post Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNER) Working Group
(WG). Per Marilyn’s notice of the Public Comment period for the WG
is extended to 15 Aug 2010. Please review and provide feedback or
support, if any, by 13 Aug 10. I will compile changes and resend a draft
out on the 14<sup>th</sup> for posting on the 15<sup>th</sup>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The other BC WG participants have not had much of a chance to
review this prior to this notice, so I invite them to comment where I may have
misstated something. This draft does not stray from our previous position
statement of November 2009, but it does offer refinement to areas being
considered for Consensus Policy (CP) with respect to expiration phase of a
domain lifecycle. I do not suspect much opposition regarding this PDP
topic within the BC, but if you do have concerns, please voice them.
Specifically, we require refinement to concepts #8 through #12 & #18.
When reviewing the document take notice of the highlighted text, as it denotes
what I suspect to be areas we need to seek agreement.<o:p></o:p></p>

the primary driver for this change. The chair of the GNSO, and as one of

not created as Consensus Policy at inception. To date, clear consensus on
RGP is visible among the non-contracted parties and perhaps a few in the
contracted party house. <o:p></o:p></p>
