Motion to Defer Request for Policy Status Report on Expiration Policies

...

1. In October 2020, the GNSO Council considered the timing to request a Policy Status Report (PSR) to conduct a review of the two Expiration Policies, the Expired Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP) and the Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP) andand agreed to defer consideration for 24 months given concerns about capacity;
2. In July 2022, the Council revisited the question of when to request a PSR andand agreed that, prior to proceeding with a PSR or deferral, the GNSO Council should consult with registrars and ICANN Compliance to determine if there are any known issues or concerns with the two Expiration Policies that could warrant requesting a PSR;
3. On 1 November 2022, ICANN org provided aa report on the Expiration Policies and presented the report to the GNSO Council during itsits November 2022 meeting;
4. Following discussion of the ICANN orgorg report, a small team of Councilors reviewed the report and the previous feedback from registrars and presented itsits recommendation to the GNSO Council during itsits March 2023 meeting;
5. The GNSO Council agreed to the small team’s recommendation to request additional information from ICANN org regarding what expiration-related educational materials are currently published and whether additional information can be provided;
6. On 14 February 2024, ICANN org delivered aa summary of the current educational materials on domain name renewal and expiration and presented it during the February 2024 meeting;
7. Having considered (i) the input from the Registrar Stakeholder Group, who was asked to flag substantial issues with the policies that would warrant a near team request for policy status report and did not note any issues, (ii) thethe report from ICANN org, which noted confusion with key terms in the policy and registrant confusion with the auto-renew grace period and aftermarket activities, et.al., and (iii) thethe catalog of available educational resources on domain name expiration and renewal, the GNSO Council determined that the Expiration Policies present no urgent need for immediate policy work;
8. During its discussion on 16 May 2024, the Council discussed the option of adding the PSR request to ICANN org’s queue of work instead of deferring the request for two years, noting the analysis should be done but not as an urgent priority.
