[gnso-pednr-dt] Where we are now.

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to summarize where we are at the moment.

Assuming that agreements already made are not revoked, we have made 
substantial progress. This has happened with (as I see it) ground 
given up by all parties and we need to acknowledge that. Regardless 
of the stumbling blocks still in our path, this is a good outcome.
We are working on one issue - the time allowed for guaranteed renewal 
and how the domain behaves during that period. I thought that I had 
made a useful proposal - simply stated and very flexible.  But 
apparently it is not viewed that way by registrars. I would 
appreciate having alternatives proposed that address what is 
perceived as a real need by the user community - as Mikey has put it, 
an out-of-band signal of expiration.
As hard as it may be to believe, I too want policies that are both 
enforceable and practical. And effective.
