<html><body><span style="font-family:Arial; color:#000000;

but I have a previous commitment to the DNSSEC event.
</div><div><br></div><div>After some discussions this weekend, I spoke with our
internal stats team and requested six months' data on renewal activity for
gTLDs. Renewals were bucket-sorted by post-expiry time (<0 days, 1
day, 2-10 days, 11-30 days, and 30+ days). The percentages are listed
below.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>(NOTE: I am not authorized
to release raw numbers, but the average monthly renewals for this period was
more than 2.5 million domain names.)</div><div><br></div><div><span> <span

data indicates that a significant portion of names renew either before, upon,
or within 1 day of expiration. Also noteworthy is the significant drop
off in renewal activity after Day 2. Finally, it is clear that renewals
are rare beyond the 10th day.</div><div><br></div><div>In an earlier
conversation, some of us (myself included) speculated that we might be "chasing
the tail" of renewal activity for periods longer than 5 or 10 days. But
even I was surprised at the substantial lack of renewal activity only a few
days past expiration.</div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, I submit to the team
that the benefits of a longer grace period (>10 days) are negligible, and do
not warrant the disruption to existing business practices and industry
expectations.</div><div><br>Thanks--</div><div><br></div><div>J.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span> <span
