Input Sought on Policies for Expired Domain Names – The Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNR) Working Group was recently launched by ICANN’s GNSO Council. The Working Group is to consider the extent to which registrants should be able to reclaim their domain names after they expire, and “whether the current policies on the renewal, transfer and deletion of expired domain names are adequate”. Public comments are solicited until September 10.
