Dear This is Chang-ki Jang working in the Internet Business Team, GABIA, INC. ICANN Accredited Registrar in South Korea. Really nice to meet you.. This is my first message . if possible, I would like to give you many questions about gTLDs. Actually I sent an Question Email to ICANN. But in these days ICANN feedback is really late.. So if it is possible, I would like to talk to you APTLD members and ask for some good advice or information. Let me go to the point directly.. My question is simple. Should the Registrar allow 30 days redemption grace period to the Registrant? (We have thought this is right.. but some registrar doesn't seem to manage the period like that) or Is it OK to manage the redemption grace period within the 30 days ? (In other words, Is it OK for the registrar to allow the redemption grace period only for 20 ?) -------------------And this is ICANN Policy.. But there is no clear sentence for the registrar----------------------------------------------- Redemption Grace Period 3.1. With the exception of sponsored gTLD registries, all gTLD registries must offer a Redemption Grace Period ("RGP") of 30 days immediately following the deletion of a registration, during which time the deleted registration may be restored at the request of the RAE by the registrar that deleted it. Registrations deleted during a registry's add-grace period, if applicable, should not be subject to the RGP. 3.2. During the Redemption Grace Period, the registry must disable DNS resolution and prohibit attempted transfers of the registration. ICANN-approved bulk transfers and permitted partial bulk transfers are not subject to the prohibition of attempted transfers. The registry must also clearly indicate in its Whois result for the registration that it is in its Redemption Grace Period. 3.3. Registrars must permit the RAE to redeem a deleted registration during RGP (if RGP is offered by the respective registry). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Waiting for your good advice or information ..
