RE: [gnso-pednr-dt] two real-world examples of PEDNR problems

Agree.

The first case presents a concrete example where an RAE missed more than
"adequate opportunity" to renew and redeem an expired name.  And the
second is a good example of an auction service protecting & preserving
rights of the RAE to redeem.

Not sure thee are PEDNR type problems Mike. In the first case it looks
like the name went all the way the through the renew grace period and
redemption grace period before they woke up. If someone ignores or
doesn't renew until the name becomes available again, that's a different
issue.

In the second case, SnapNames' process worked for the RAE. When they
realized it had expired they were able to renew and recover the name. So
no recovery problem there, right?

funny how you get "attuned" to things when you're working on them. here
are a couple of real-life examples.

this first one is a great example of the degree of confusion that
exists. the city of Morehead, Kentucky lost their domain on the drop --
and they're accusing the buyer of cyber-squatting.

in a second example, the domain kat.com was pulled from a SnapNames
auction -- bidding had reached $20k. i'm guessing here -- i bet the RAE
woke up and got their name renewed post-expiry, thus short-circuiting
the auction.

food for thought.
