[registrars] Redemption Grace Period
Hello, I just received the latest
.org mailing announcing the introduction of the now mandatory RGP. The implementation especially the pricing is very
similar to the Verisign implementation except for a “good will clause”
covering an incident were more as 50 domains are inadvertently deleted. But even such
an event is not free of charge in the first five days. Reading this I have to admit
that I kind of lost my believe that this “overlooked issue” can be resolved between registrars and registries in a
friendly manner. The chance of using this safety net as revenue machine seems to
daring for the registries. In the light of this I would like to suggest that we move
forward to initiate an Policy Development Process
with ICANN (or a reconsideration process I’m not sure what is more appropriate) to reinstate the “no charge
five days pending delete period” as already voted upon by the RC. https://www.boardrooms.org/apps/org/workgroup/registrars/ballot.php?id=33&
