Great idea Elaine. We are still thinking about this since we are looking at it from the Registry and Registrar side and the few weeks leading up to London would be helpful .
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we should continue discussion on the list leading up to the event , try to get to a plan right before event and maybe try to finalize something with ICANN in London </div>

There are a few more options we can consider for Claims. Considering there is some dissent over how to apply the RPM requirements to reserved names it would be wise to meet in London for further discussion. That will give folks some time to come up with additional
options.

<div>Running eternal claims services is clearly not a view shared by all registries. The middle ground -- asking registrars and registries to reactivate all the claims machinery for a subset of names -- presents a significant challenge.</div>
