Dear GNSO Members,

 

The new Expired Registration Recovery Policy (
<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp>
https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp) will
go into effect on 31 August 2013.

 

For background information, the proposed Expired Registration Recovery
Policy ("ERRP") is intended to help align registrant expectations with
registrar practices by establishing certain minimum communications
requirements and making renewal and redemption of registrations uniformly
available in prescribed circumstances. Following implementation of the
policy, ICANN is instructed to create educational materials in consultation
with interested stakeholders to help registrants properly manage their
registrations.  Additional background material can be found here:

tion+Recovery+Policy+Workspace>
https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Expired+Registrat
ion+Recovery+Policy+Workspace. 

 

As part of the above-mentioned educational materials, ICANN staff, in
consultation with interested community members, will be updating the
Beginner's Guide to Domain Names to include relevant ERRP updates.  In
addition, ICANN staff thought a video tutorial on the proper stewardship of
a domain name could be an additional resource for Internet users.  I will be
organizing a brief phone conference to discuss a proposed outline to the
video tutorial in the next two weeks.

 

Any GNSO members that would be interested in participating in this video
tutorial initiative should send an email to
<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@xxxxxxxxx> caitlin.tubergen@xxxxxxxxx by Friday, 17
May, and I will be sure to include them in future communications.

 

I look forward to working with interested stakeholders.

 

Best regards,
