Dear Councilors,

During the ICANN84 GNSO Working Session on 26 October 2025, Leon Grundmann from ICANN org presented the updated Policy Status Report (PSR) on the Expired Domain Deletion Policy and the Expiration Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP) (collectively, the Expiration Policies). ICANN org published the PSR for Public Comment from 15 May 2025 - 30 June 2025, following which it has been updated to include the input received. Leon provided an overview of the updated PSR.

As a reminder, the PSR is aimed at assisting the GNSO Council in determining whether the Expiration Policies require additional policy work.

As noted during the GNSO Council meeting on 13 November 2025, Councilors are now asked to reach out to their groups (if they have not done so already) to see if any groups believe additional policy work is needed on the Expiration Policies at this time. If so, we will then include this during our prioritisation discussion. The updated PSR and slide deck presentation from ICANN org can be found here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/428113921/GNSO+Working+Session+1+of+2+-+ICANN84

Many thanks all.
