In overall, this is a policy regarding gTLD Registrar domain name deletion
policy to ensure that an expired domain name and not explicitly renew by
Registrant will be deleted by registrar.
However, as current practice of most of Registry, domain name is auto-renew
by Registry, not Registrar. To avoid auto-renew without consent of
registrant, explicit deletion must perform by Registry. Therefore I
would think that in 3.1.1, sentence "As a mechanism for enforcing this
requirement, registries may elect to delete names for which an explicit renew
command has not been received prior to the expiration of the grace period." is
the best way to enforce a deletion.
Also, it does not clearly stated the consequences if Registrars
do auto-renew the domain name without consent from Registrant.
Please do consider the comments above.
