As usual, @jberryhill nails it with his comment to the article.

"The ICANN RAA, for example, refers to “renewal” as “renewal” and not as “re-registration.”"

"“Re-registration” is simply a term that was invented by IP attorneys to refer to renewals of domain names which are senior to the trademark they are seeking to enforce."
