[ga] Redemption Grace Period

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

Dear Esther and Wendy,

As the ICANN-appointed North American representatives serving on the At-Large 
Advisory Committee I would ask you to raise the following issue with the 
ICANN Board:

When the Redemption Grace Period was proposed, it was acknowledged that 
inadvertent deletions might well occur as a result of registrar error.  A 
recent article in ICANNwatch entitled "Redemption Grace Period Hell" has 
pointed to a charge incurred by a North American for this service ($150) that 
can only be described as an extortion fee.  If a deletion needs to be 
corrected that resulted from registrar error, why should we registrants be 
the ones to get the shaft?  

This RGP is now providing an incentive to registrars to "accidently" delete a 
domain (knowing that they can profit handsomely on these type of events).   

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.  I look to forward to seeing 
how you will act to defend the At-Large user interest.

Best regards,
Danny Younger
