RE: [ga] retrieving expired .com names and transferring .ws names


Danny,

One other follow up question, once the domain falls into this holding period
with the registry do you have to renew it through the original registrar or
can you retrieve it from anyone.  i.e. If a domain was registered through
Netsol is expired and is now being held by the registry, can I have Enom
retrieve it for me?

thanks.

Michael,

At the Bucharest session the ICANN Board passed the following resolution:

"Whereas, ICANN resolution 02.45 authorized the convening of a technical 
steering group to develop a concrete proposal for implementation of a 
Redemption Grace Period for deleted domain names;

Whereas, the Technical Steering Group's Implementation Proposal was posted
on 
the ICANN website on 7 June 2002;

Whereas, the proposal called for implementing a Redemption Grace Period by 
instituting an extended Delete Pending Period and a new Restore capability, 
which will be a new Registry Service for which registry operators will be 
able to charge a cost-based service fee;

Whereas, the Redemption Grace Period proposal was discussed and received 
broad community support at the ICANN Public Forum held 27 June 2002 in 
Bucharest, Romania;

Resolved that the President and General Counsel are authorized to conduct 
negotiations on behalf of ICANN toward appropriate revisions to agreements 
between ICANN and the unsponsored TLD registry operators to implement the 
Redemption Grace Period in a manner consistent with the Technical Steering 
Group's Implementation Proposal."

During the Board discussion on this topic Louis Touton made the following 
statement:  "I just would also like to make the point that the language of 
this resolution contemplates that this matter will come back to the Board 
once again, once those – the language of this resolution provides that this 
will come back to the Board again once negotiations are completed. And that 
might also be a juncture to make such statements. If the Board would rather 
move on a faster rate and authorize amendment of the agreements, that's 
something that could be done as well."

As far as I know, while negotiations with the registry operators may have 
commenced, we still don't have Board approval for amendments to these 
registry agreements.  Any fees that registrars are now in the process of 
extorting from registrants aren't even grounded in approved contract
language.
