[gnso-pednr-dt] Update on Compliance's audit of registrar websites (fees for recovering domain names in RGP)

[William McKelligott <William.McKelligott@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear members of the PEDNR WG:

To clarify Compliance's audit of registrar websites to determine if information 
was made available to registrants concerning any fee charged for the recovery 
of domain names that are in redemption grace period:

- The non-compliant registrars were those that operate a website for 
registration or renewal of domain names and did not provide the information 
required by the EDDP.
- A number of registrars that do not appear to transact the registration or 
renewal of domain names on their website provided the information anyways 
(contained in the registration agreement and posted on their website), despite 
the fact that a potential registrant would have to work through a reseller to 
actually register a domain name with that registrar.  Those registrars have a 
similar website with limited content.  Again, these registrars were not counted 
as being non-compliant.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
