    1. Defined inactivity period:
    a) 6 months minimum – 1 year
    b) Account activity tiers: Inactive (no login after creation – scalpers/scraper), moderately active (occasional login), highly active (regular login/broadcasting).
    c) Factor in chat interactions, content creation, etc. for more nuanced approach.

    2. Transparent communication:
    a) Announce upcoming username pool releases with specific dates.
    b) Multiple notifications: Email, in-platform messaging, website banners to warn inactive users.
    c) Appeal/backup option: Allow users to flag accounts for preservation up to additional 1 year (e.g., due to illness, hiatus).

    3. Gradual recycling process:
    a) Recycle usernames in batches based on inactivity level or date starting with Justin.TV usernames.
    b) Consider offering first access to users impacted by username changes or facing harassment.

    4. Preventing malicious takeover:
    a) Captcha & 2FA verification: Implement safeguards to prevent bots or malicious actors like username scrapers and scalpers.
    b) Empower users to report suspicious activity related to username changes.

    5. Addressing ethical concerns:
    a) Data anonymization: Ensure complete deletion of associated personal data before username release.
    b) Community feedback: Regularly gather feedback and adapt the policy based on user needs and evolving online culture.

    Additional considerations:
    a) Impact on content creators with established brands: Offer alternative solutions for those whose identity is heavily tied to their username.
    b) Addressing impersonation risks: Implement measures to protect users from being impersonated with recycled usernames.
