[ga] Redemption Grace Periods for Deleted Names

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

Marilyn,

I have a question regarding one aspect of the work of your Transfers Task 
Force concerning inter-registrar transfers during the Delete Pending period.  

The Technical Steering Group's Implementation Proposal "determined that it 
would not be practical to implement inter-registrar transfers of deleted 
names in Stage 1. Instead, it is proposed that six months after this 
Redemption Grace Period Proposal is adopted, ICANN's President should 
re-convene this (or a similar) Technical Steering Group to review the 
implementation of the Redemption Grace Period, to suggest possible 
improvements to the Redemption Grace Period, and to develop a specification 
for Stage 2 of the implementation of the Redemption Grace Period, which will 
enable registrants to choose the “restoring” registrar.'

The Technical Steering Group believed that "allowing registrants to choose 
the redeeming registrar will introduce numerous technical and operational 
complications into the system", and "that the best course of action would be 
to reserve implementation of registrar choice until a second stage".

Do the members of your TF share the assessment of the Technical Steering 
Group that such considerations should be postponed another six months?  Will 
your TF examine this issue, or will it defer the matter to the Steering Group 
as proposed above?  I would think that when a registrant has found 
himself/herself in need of the Redemption Grace Period that a fair amount of 
enmity would exist between the registrant and the current registrar... in 
such circumstances, might it not be appropriate to expeditiously facilitate a 
transfer?
