[council] Request for an Issues Report on the recovery of expired domain names

[Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

At its October 14th teleconference, the ALAC voted to request an 
Issues Report on the subject of registrants being able to recover 
domain names after their formal expiration date. Details can be found 
at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?recovery_of_expired_domain_names.
The motion calls for the draft request to be revised before and at 
the Cairo ICANN meeting. A number of people have already volunteered 
to work on the initial effort, and unless I hear otherwise, will 
assume that they will continue to do so (I will verify).
The ALAC formed a small Working Group. According to the motion "The 
working group may include representatives from At-Large, GNSO 
constituencies and other interested individuals but due to tight time 
constraints, will be limited to those with specific knowledge of the 
subject being discussed." If anyone else would like to participate, 
please let me know.
If any GNSO constituencies wish to formally support this ALAC 
initiative, we will gladly append a short statement of support to the 
Request when it is submitted.
Regards, Alan
