The actual language of Section 9.e is a follows:
e. The registrar would register SLDs to SLD holders only for fixed periods.
At the conclusion of the registration period, failure to pay a renewal fee
within the time specified in a second notice or reminder would result in
cancellation of the registration.
This is not significantly different from existing practice. If you do not
renew iciiu.org or Esther does not renew edventure.com, they will expire.
