Mary Wong, who participated on the IRT, reminded everyone at the beginning of the meeting that she was acting in this position as an individual, and not as an NCUC member. This was confirmed by Kristina Rosette.Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery
After a short description of the proposed charter, Alan Greenberg (ALAC) asked for wide participation in the working group. The vote taking place was solely on the Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery Charter.
The charter was voted unanimously (pending absentee vote from Jordi Iparraguire).

report Background: The IRTP is a consensus policy that was adopted in 2004 to provide a clear and transparent way on how registrants can transfer their domain names between registrars.
"Are there more areas that needed further work?"
Issue 1: should there be an expedited handling of fraud? The issue was also further discussed in SSAC hijacking report which suggested that such a process should be developed & complement the transfer dispute resolution procedure (TDRP).
Issue 2: should there be additional provisions for undoing inappropriate transfers?
Issue 3: should there be special provisions for change of registrant near a change of registrar?
Issue 4: would registrants benefit from greater standardization?
Issue 5: clarification of the "reason for Denial Number 7" required or not?
Should issue 4 & 5, both about registrar lock status, be grouped together?
Comments from the floor: it has taken a long time (between 7 to 10 years, depending on participants) to reach this point. But this document needs to be written in such a way that it remains usable.
Motion voted in favour unanimously (pending absentee vote from Jordi Iparraguire).
Resolved, the GNSO Council approves the charter and appoints Tim Ruiz, confirmed as the GNSO Council liaison, to the IRTP policy development process Part B working group. Work to start within 14 days after the approval of the motion.
Comments from the floor: the work supported there could have been included in IRTP-A. Also asked, was a clear listing of the material that the working group will be reviewing.
IDN Update - Edmon Chung http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/idng-wg-charter-draft-23jun09.pdf

Edmon Chung reported that there was concern among the IDN community that the IDN gTLD & IDN ccTLD should both be introduced at the same time. The concern is that introducing them at different times might introduce problems, possibly promoting the one first introduced, to the detriment of the other. Clearly, the two are linked since they potentially serve a similar purpose.

FrançaisLa coordination des revues des différentes SO et AC est à la fois importante et complexe.
La présentation se trouve au lien suivant :http://syd.icann.org/node/4158

Je vous encourage à la consulter. La page 6 sur les interrelations entre les revues est indispensable.
Mais il nous faut noter que la question principale est (voir à partir de la page 8) autour de la possible élection de membres du Conseil d’Administration de l’ICANN par At-Large/ALAC et les conséquences sur la taille du CA et de la composition du Comité de nomination.
Une des suites de cette réunion est l’organisation d’un BOF sur les questions de l’évolution des By-Law de l’ICANN.

Le animo a consultar. Página 6 sobre las relaciones entre las revistas es esencial.
Sin embargo, debemos señalar que la cuestión principal (ver en la página 8) en torno a la posible elección de los miembros de la Junta de la ICANN por At-Large/ALAC y las consecuencias sobre el tamaño de la Junta y la composición del Comité de Nominación.
Uno de los resultados de esta reunión es la organización de un BOF sobre las cuestiones de la evolución de los By-Law de la ICANN.

I encourage you to consult it. Page 6 on the interrelationships between the journals is essential.
But we must note that the main question is (see on page 8) around the possible election of members of the Board of ICANN by At-Large/ALAC and consequences on the size of Board and the composition of the Nomination Committee.
One result of this meeting is organizing a BOF on the questions of the evolution of By-Law of ICANN.

Expired domain name problems - expired e-mail addresses etc.Some can be bought back
There is now a marketplace
Here is the report:
tinyurl.com/post-exp
2004 ICANN attempt to regularise - the field is constantly shifitng.
The implemented procedures are now more or less irrelevant.
It is now a policy development proposal.
We are looking for 2 things - if a domain name expires there should be a mechanism to retrieve it in some reasonable fashion
What happens to e-mail?
We are talking about a relative modest number of days.
The RGP - Redemption Grace Period
The registrant must contact the registrar to retrieve it.
RGP is not a right - it is not consistent how this works
Registrars have been audited for compliance but not resellers.
What are the reseller obligations - the RAA will have something to say about this.
redemption grace period and pending delete phase the domain does not resolve
auto renew grace period - dramatic changes recently
Registrar grace period and redemption grace period
Typically transfers are no longer possible after expiry
"registrar silos"
secondary market is now the primary market
most registrars will keep a domain working.
The key question is who is the registrant at any given time.

On point 7.2 I may comment here already : Ron Sherwood, ALAC liaison, reported on the ALAC meetings of the previous days. He stated and I quote :
"Many of the subjects and issues discussed are the same as those discussed at ccNSO meetings, and often present similar or identical opinions, although sometimes from a different point of view.". Ron dropped the questions we have been talking about during our meeting in the group. Answers will come probably at the next Council meeting.
As the participation of both liaisons in these meetings was rather a unique event, a plan will be worked out to get closer to each other, meeting was scheduled for Thursday noon with both chairs and liaisons.
