'''Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery'''' ('''PEDNR''') is a policy for use when a registrant wishes to recover a domain name after it has already expired. For the development of the policy, the PEDNR Working Group was formed to consider the following points:


'''PEDNR''' stands for '''Post Expiration Domain Name Recovery'''. It looks after various issues which deal with the recovery of the domain names by the registrants after it has been expired. The Working Group of PEDNR is subjected to answer the following questions.
# Whether or not the registrants of the domain names should be provided additional opportunity to redeem their expired domain names
 
# Whether the conditions or terms provided in the PEDNR agreement are clear and obvious enough for the registrants to understand and follow
# Whether the registrants of the domain names should be provided additional opportunity to redeem their expired domain names.
# Whether the registrants are/will be adequately notified of the expirations earlier than the stipulated date of expiration
# The conditions or terms provided in the agreement related to the expiration terms are clear and obvious enough for the registrants to understand and follow.
# Whether the domain name shall be transferred during the Redemption Grace Period ([[RGP]]).  
# Will the registrants be adequately notified of the expirations earlier than the stipulated date of expiration?
# Whether it is necessary to use additional or alternative measures to notify the registrants about the expiration once the domain name enters the Auto Renew Grace Period, for example with a notice on the site with a link to information on how to renew the domain name.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/13598787/PEDNR+PDP+Initial+Report+-+Final-+31+May+2010.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1302030448000 community.icann.org]</ref><ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/15631095/PEDNR+Final+Report+-+23+May+2011.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1306145372000 community.icann.org]</ref>

In 2008, Cairo meeting of [[ICANN]], it was brought to notice by the members that there should be certain guidelines set for the issues relating the recovery and renovation of the domain name once its expiration date approaches or has been exceeded. The At large Committee ([[ALAC]]) voted for an issues report to be submitted for allowing the registrants to recover their domain names after the expiration dates have been exceeded. At Large Committee brought this issue in light as the earlier domain name recovery privileges were not effective. It furthermore stressed, that it is necessary to have a viable recovery system as the loss of domain name can cause a great financial hardship to the registrants. It may not only result in loss of utility time to recover the name but also indirectly damage the reputation of the registrants. It also has the potential for some registrants to permanently loose business.
At [[ICANN]]'s 2008 [[ICANN 33|Cairo Meeting]], it was brought to the [[ICANN Board|Board]]'s notice that there should be guidelines set regarding the recovery and renovation of a domain name once its expiration date approaches or has been exceeded. The At-Large Committee ([[ALAC]]) voted for a report to be submitted about allowing the registrants to recover their domain names after the expiration dates have been exceeded. ALAC considered that previous domain name recovery privileges were not effective, furthermore stressing the necessity for a viable recovery system, as the loss of a domain name can cause great hardship to the registrants. They argued that it may not only result in loss of utility time, but also indirectly damage the reputation of the registrants, or for some registrants to permanently loose business.

As a result, an Issues Report regarding the Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery was submitted to the [[GNSO]] on December 2008. After considering this report, the GNSO Council initiated a [[PDP]] on 7 May 2009, creating a Working Group to discuss PEDNR and provide recommendations on related issues.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/15631095/PEDNR+Final+Report+-+23+May+2011.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1306145372000 community.icann.org]</ref><ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/issues/post-expiration-recovery/report-05dec08.pdf gnso.icann.org]</ref>
So on this background an Issues Report regarding the Post Expiration Domain Name Recovery was submitted to the [[GNSO]] committee on December 2008. After considering this report the GNSO Council initiated a [[PDP]] on 7 May 2009 and tasked a Working Group to work on the above question on which the PEDNR rely and provide recommendations on the issues relating the recovery. <ref name="link2">[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/15631095/PEDNR+Final+Report+-+23+May+2011.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1306145372000 community.icann.org]</ref><ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/issues/post-expiration-recovery/report-05dec08.pdf gnso.icann.org]</ref>

The PEDNR WG submitted an initial report on 31st May 2010 based on their research. The report consisted of numerous suggestions to be considered by the GNSO council and ALAC for redefining the provisions in recovering the expired domain names. After this initial draft was submitted by the PEDNR WG for public comments, based on which the final draft was created and submitted on 23rd May 2011. The final report will be refined for the recommendations, after receiving the public comments. The Post Expiration Domain Name Recovery final report is under consideration by ICANN’s GNSO council, after which it will be opened to public comments and recommendations. After these recommendations the working group will submit its final draft. <ref name="link2">[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/15631095/PEDNR+Final+Report+-+23+May+2011.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1306145372000 community.icann.org]</ref><ref>[http://ncdnhc.org/group/gnsopostexpirationdomainnamerecoverydraftingteam nchnhc.org]</ref>
