October 2025 – cisagov/manage.get.gov: Implemented Domain Deletion Hold Notification System to improve governance and prevent accidental deletions. The feature adds automated email alerts to all domain managers when a domain enters the 7-day hold window before deletion, updates email templates for clearer implications, and hooks a trigger into the domain deletion workflow. This reduces risk by ensuring timely awareness and approvals, supporting policy compliance. No major bugs reported this month; outstanding issues are tracked in the backlog. Key commit: 4125076b0f5134d751603ea8bfbdef7e5a5c3068 (On Hold For 7 Days Notification).
