A registry service request has been submitted to ICANN for the
.vlaanderen and .brussels TLDs to remove certain GRACE
periods.
Some Grace periods impact Registrars only, and others may impact
Registrants.
The Request can be found at
https://www.icann.org/resources/files/1208363-2017-07-20-en.
I am a bit troubled because one of the questions the Registry must answer
is "Were consultations with end users
appropriate? Which groups were consulted? What were the nature and
content of these consultations?", and the reply was that
Registrars were consulted.
I am looking for a volunteer to look at the request and ensure that these
grace period removals will not have any impact on
Registrants.
The timing on these requests is tight and ICANN has only 15 days to
review the request, so any comments we wish to make must be within this
window.
