Dear Bruce:&nbsp; That's how I read it, even though I truncated it in my
question.<br><br>
We would not want to have a registrY delete *after* the grace
period.&nbsp; Deletion should not be made without an explicit *deletion*
command from the registrar.&nbsp; At present, as far as I know, there is
no requirement for an explicit renewal.&nbsp; If we get paid by any
means, we take the domain off registrar-hold and permit it to
resolve.<br><br>
Prior to expiration, we accept credit card renewals and send an explicit
renewal for one or more years automatically.&nbsp; If the registrant
sends a bank transfer prior to expiration, we send the renewal command
manually.&nbsp; If they pay during the grace period for one year, we
ignore it and let the auto-renewal stand.&nbsp; If they renew for two to
nine years, we manually extend the expiration date.<br><br>
If I have properly interpreted it, the TF report would allow (or
encourage) a registry to delete *after* the grace period if they hear
nothing from us, we want to have our voices heard in opposition to such
an arbitrary act by a registrY.<br><br>
