RE: [bc-gnso] PEDNAR (post expiration domain name recovery) PDP needs a constituency statement from us

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

as a very very very small domain name holder -- I used to hold 3, and now, due 
to co organizing the IGF USA, I have had to up my portfolio by 6 more names for 
defensive purposes for a very worthwhile voluntary effort, but it has 
'quadrupled' the names I need to care about, and I would indeed care if one of 
them expired and I didn't have a way to 'salvage' it.  So, I do appreciate the 
work of the BC members on this. I suspect that businesses with large portfoiios 
of defensive registrations do as well.
