Notes/ Action Items

 Main discussion and action items

1. Welcome and Chair Updates
2. Review WG inputs to CORD Requirements for Initial Report worksheet [docs.google.com]
   • BC raised some concerns regarding Rec 2.3 and 2.4. Could lead to confusion and misunderstanding.
   • Some comments include the lack of rationale.
   • Cannot Live with comments focus on Rec 2.3, 2.4, 3, 3.4 and 4.
   • How can WG explain that the aim is not to reduce security levels with some changes but to be adaptive for many business models?
   • Suggestion: Members could put questions to WG via webinar regarding Recs?
   • Group 1)a) organised a previous webinar focus on awareness raising rather than answering questions.
   • Rec 2.4: The working group recommends eliminating from the future Change of Registrant Data Policy the requirement that the Registrar impose a 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock following a Change of Registrant.
   • WG suggested to remove 60 day lock for change of registrant, BC believes 30 day lock should be by default. 
   • WG discussed the rationale of 30 days? Why that number why not other?
   • Some members suggested that current Rec 2.4 might cause compliance issues.
   • Others indicated that no amount of lock will provide more security.
   • BC doesn’t support opt-out of notification reg Rec. 3 due to security concerns.
   • BC suggests that for Rec 3.4 that notificiation should occure before change of registrant.
   • Can live with, but with changes focus on Rec: 3, 3.4, 4 and 17.
   • Members informed the WG that registrants have indicated to leave because they receive too many notification.
