<div>That is an option, but I’m not sure if I would classify it as being operationally simpler. Running a launch phase service eternally is certainly better for trademark holders but is an order of magnitude more complex for the registries and registrars to
operate. </div>

<div style="font-size:14px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For registries that plan on releasing domain names after the Claims Period, such as to support the release of premium domain names or 2 character domain names, they will have to support the Claims Services
well past the Claims Period (potentially years). This represents a costly burden to the registries having to indefinitely download the DNL list, support the claims check, validating the domain creates against the DNL list for a subset of domain names, and
support the TMCH LORDN interface. This also represents a costly burden to registrars or discourages registrar participation in supporting the release of reserved domain names. The registrars would need to know to use the claims check, use the CNIS for presenting
the claims notice, and passing the claims acknowledgement indefinitely. </div>
