[gnso-pednr-dt] Items left for future discussion last week

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

There were a number of items left for e-mail discussion last week. 
Since I did not have the time to start the discussion on e-mail, I 
would like to take some time during today's meeting to discuss them. 
The following are my initial suggestions for addressing the issues.
Quest 5 - details of how notice are sent
========================================

There was general agreement that we should not transmission methods 
such as Twitter or even SMS in the RAA. Currently, there is NO 
requirement to use any method (even e-mail). Carrier pigeon would 
suffice. Do we need to be specific. If not, how do we ensure that the 
registrar picks a "satisfactory" notification method.
Our challenge here is not to pick the method, but to phrase the 
question so that answers are meaningful.

Quest 9 - Post expiration Web intercept
=======================================

The question arose about what registrars currently do when the 
intercept post-expiration web traffic. Specifically, do they 
"typically" intercept *.domain.tld, that is, all subdomains?
We discussed that stopping domains from working soon after expiration 
should not be required is registrar was "in contact" with the 
registrant. We need a way to define "in contact".

Quest 15 - Transfer during ARGP
===============================

This is my attempt to craft a question.

Currently a registrar is required to transfer a domain during the 
post-expiration period if such a transfer is requested by the 
registrant (with some very specific exceptions). However, due to 
various registrar practices, it may be impractical or impossible for 
the RAE to make such a request during the post-expiration period and 
there is no current policy that requires a registrar to allow such a 
request to be made.
Option a) Require that a registrar allow the RAE to request a 
transfer during the post-expiration period.
Option b) Best practice

Option c) Status quo


General
=======

What is the "reasonable" number of hours/days that provides some 
grace to the registrar but stops normal functioning within a 
reasonable amount of time?
