Re: [gnso-pednr-dt] For your review - Updated recommendations

In relation to recommendation #2, in order to provide further specificity to 
the definition, we would like to put forward the following addition (in 
cursive) for the WG's consideration:

Recommendation #2: Define Registered Name Holder at Expiration” (RNHaE) as the 
entity or individual that is eligible to renew the domain name registration 
immediately prior to expiration. If prior to expiration, the domain name 
registration was modified pursuant to a term of the Registration Agreement 
authorizing the modification of registration data for the purposes of 
facilitating renewal, the RNHaE is the entity or individual identified as the 
registrant immediately prior to that modification.

Best regards,

Marika

Subject: [gnso-pednr-dt] For your review - Updated recommendations

Dear All,

Please find attached an updated version of the recommendations document in 
which I've attempted to capture yesterday's discussion and suggestions. You are 
strongly encouraged to review this document and provide your feedback on the 
mailing list as soon as possible. As a reminder, these are the main action 
items:

 *   Recommendation #1: Michael to confirm whether language is specific enough 
to ensure exception for sponsored gTLD registries. (Michael Young)
 *   Recommendation #2: Review proposed alternative wording: 'Define Registered 
Name Holder at Expiration” (RNHaE) as the entity or individual that is eligible 
to renew the domain name registration immediately prior to expiration'. (All)
 *   Recommendation #3: Review proposed alternative wording:  'If a registrar 
offers registrations in a gTLD that supports the RGP, the Registrar must allow 
the Registered Name Holder at Expiration to redeem the Registered Name after it 
has entered RGP'. (All)
 *   Recommendation #4: Review proposed alternative wording: 'The Registered 
Name Holder at Expiration cannot be prevented from renewing a domain name 
registration as a result of WHOIS changes made by the registrar that where not 
at the Registered Name Holder at Expiration’s request'. (All)
 *   Recommendation #5: Review proposed alternative wording: 'All RAA 
provisions applicable to Registrars dealing with registrar- registrant 
interactions must be carried out by a registrar. If a registrar choses to use a 
reseller, the register nevertheless remains responsible for its 
obligationsunder the RAA. (All)
 *   Recommendation #6: James to circulate alternative language for 
consideration. (James Bladel)
 *   Recommendation #7: Review proposed modification. (All)
 *   Recommendation #9: Review proposed modification. (All)
 *   Recommendation #15, 15a and 15b: WG members are requested to review these 
recommendations and provide feedback on whether the integrated version is 
preferred (15) or two separate recommendations (15 a & b). (All)
 *   Recommendation #16: Berry/Mikey to provide alternative wording for 
consideration. (Berry Cobb / Mike O'Connor)

The objective is to finalize this language as soon as possible for inclusion in 
the proposed Final Report. As discussed yesterday during the call, we are 
trying to get the language as 'perfect' as possible, but there will still be an 
opportunity to fine-tune wording following the review of public comments and 
prior to finalization of the report.

With best regards,

Marika
