[registrars] Vote on deletes task force report.

["Robert F. Connelly" <rconnell@psi-japan.com>]

Dear Colleagues:

I just about made a serious mistake.  Let me warn you about it:

Here is what the ballot says:

	The Deletes Task Force has issued its initial report.
            This report
            addresses issues related to registrar/registry
            deletion practices and makes three
            recommendations.

            Two additional recommendations related to the
            Deletes Task Force work have been proposed
            based on discussions at the Constituency meeting
            held in Washington DC.

            Recommendation to modify the registry auto-renew
            process:
            On the day of expiration, domain enters the
            auto-renew grace period (currently 45 days). The
            expiration date is NOT advanced. The registrar is
            NOT charged.

            On the last day of the grace period, if the domain has
            not been explicitly deleted or explicitly renewed, the
            expiration date is
            advanced one year and the registrar is charged.


Wow, that is very important for many reasons.  In our case, if the 
registrant renews after expiration, we were advancing his registration an 
additional year;-(  We have not fully resolved that issue.

That also would help us to project what our cash flow would be:-)

            Recommendation to reinstate the 5-day pending
            grace period:
            Domains deleted at any time other than during the
            Add Grace Period enter a 5-day pending delete
            grace period after which the domain is then placed
            in the Redemption Grace Period.

Oh, boy, that *is* very important;-)

BTW, I was unable to see what others had voted.  If that is true, I 
withdraw my objection to the Boardroom voting procedure, though it is a bit 
of a problem so look up the infrequently used password.
