Redemption Grace Period 

Whereas, ICANN resolution 02.45 authorized the convening of a
technical steering group to develop a concrete proposal for
implementation of a Redemption Grace Period for deleted domain
names; 

Whereas, the Technical Steering Group's Implementation Proposal was
posted on the ICANN website on 7 June 2002; 

Whereas, the proposal called for implementing a Redemption Grace
Period by instituting an extended Delete Pending Period and a new
Restore capability, which will be a new Registry Service for which
registry operators will be able to charge a cost-based service fee; 

Whereas, the Redemption Grace Period proposal was discussed and
received broad community support at the ICANN Public Forum held 27
June 2002 in Bucharest, Romania; 

Resolved [02.__] that the President and General Counsel are
authorized to conduct negotiations on behalf of ICANN toward
appropriate revisions to agreements between ICANN and the
unsponsored TLD registry operators to implement the Redemption Grace
Period in a manner consistent with the Technical Steering Group's
Implementation Proposal.
