Re: [gnso-pednr-dt] PEDNR: A proposed path forward

[Jeff Eckhaus <eckhaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Thanks for the feedback on the proposal and I am sure it will be a major
topic of discussion today. Some of the comments that were received were
related to the number of days allowed to the registrant after expiration
for guaranteed renewal.

They ranged from "I would like to haggle over the length of time" to "it
is a good start. But several weeks shorter than required".
If possible on the call today could we go over the reasons why the
commenters do not believe this is enough time? Would like to hear the
evidence or reasoning behind these comments.

Thanks

Jeff
