Following the ALAC requesting an Issues Report on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery, the Issues Report (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/post-expiration-recovery/report-05dec08.pdf) was produced and submitted to the GNSO Council. The Council created a Drafting Team (DT) to address how best to handle the Issues Report, and the DT has now submitted a motion to formally initiate a Policy Development Process. The motion will be considered at the next GNSO meeting on March 26. A copy of the motion is attached. If adopted without change, I believe it will be the first time (at least in recent history) where a PDP will be initiated with an expected outcome of both a Consensus Policy and advice to various parties on how to ensure that the Policy is effectively deployed.
