Paul - not sure that we're talking about the same thing here. The idea
floated on the call was to create a cooling off period after the
proposed Redemption Grace Period...more comments below...

Covered by the RGP proposal
(http://www.icann.org/bucharest/redemption-topic.htm).

Covered by the RGP proposal.

This is also covered by the RGP proposal. Further, there wasn't any
recovery available to the registrant post-RGP during the cooling off
period. Once in the cooling off period, the name would be eentually
deleted, regardless of any claims or potential claims to it.

Not contemplated by this proposition. I believe it was Jamie Love that
had proposed using auctions to disperse the names post-delete. The
cooling tank proposal only considered FCFS.
