I'm not sure I understand this sentence, and I'd like to get a clear answer.

Let us say that the registrant changes his e-mail address, postal 
address, and telephone number three months after registering a domain 
name, and is therefore unreachable at the time that renewal notices are 
sent.

Assuming the reseller participates in the auction system, can this 
registrant's domain name be auctioned (even though the registrant does 
not give explicit consent to it at the time his domain name expires)? Or 
will his domain name not be included in the auction at all because he 
didn't give explicit consent at that time?

In the first case, of course, there would be a larger amount of 
undeliverable money than in the second case.

I was having an offlist discussion with another reseller who said that 
as he understood it, a domain name won't be auctionable unless the 
registrant gives explicit consent at the expiration time, but as I 
understood the system, domain names will be eligible for inclusion 
(assuming the reseller participates) even if the registrant is 
unreachable. This point is very vague in the description of the service. 
Can you confirm which is correct?

Thanks!
