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

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to both Mikes for their efforts on this.  

Fine with me if the BC reasserts our concern with inaccurate WHOIS, even if
the comments are late.  Late comments are frequently put in.  But really, I
do not see much impact possible with that comment in this Working Group at
all.  If somebody comes up with better comments, I would prefer to post
something more substantive and relevant to the WG questions.  Mike Palage
made several other good points in his earlier post, that we might all gel
around.

just a process update, we're just wrapping up the PEDNAR call right  
now and it looks like only 2 constituencies got statements in on  
time.  so we all have a 2-week "dog ate the homework" extension.

Berry Cobb is pulling together a call among the BC members on the  
PEDNAR working group (Berry, Mike, Phil Corwin, me) to hammer on this  
and figure out a process to get something by you for review.  Palage  
is off to a great start with this post.
