Summary: Verisign-GRS has requested that interested ICANN participants provide VGRS with recommendations that will assist them in addressing the challenges faced by the registry during the domain name deletion cycle. There are a number of possible solutions to this problem, so it is important VGRS adopt a solution that conforms to the basic principles endorsed by ICANN stakeholders. This proposal attempts to document these basic principles and proposes a simple recommendation that will allow VGRS to undertake a rational delete cycle process without inadvertently harming or hinder the various stakeholders. This document is not intended to act as a "final offer" from various ICANN stakeholders, but rather as a first step towards a rational solution. As progress thus far indicates, only together can this problem truly be solved to the benefit of all involved. Ross Wm.
