1. On 18 February 2021, the GNSO Council voted to initiate a PDP to review the Transfer Policy.
2. On 24 March 2021, the GNSO Council approved the PDP working group’s charter, which anticipated a two-phase approach to completing the PDP’s work.
3. The working group began meeting in May 2021 and has made substantial progress, including publication of an Initial Report on Phase 1(a) topics, review of public comments on the Phase 1(a) Initial Report, and preliminary deliberations on Phase 1(b) topics.
4. In the course of considering the Phase 1 charter questions, the working group identified dependencies between charter topics that require the working group to make progress on certain Phase 2 topics (Transfer Emergency Action Contact (TEAC), reversal of a transfer, and Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP)) before Phase 1 deliberations on inter-registrar and inter-registrant transfers can be completed.
5. The working group has determined that the best path forward is to consolidate its work into a single phase, which will allow the working group to consider all topics in the charter iteratively. This approach will result in delivery of a second Initial Report covering all topics in the charter and a single Final Report.
6. The working group anticipates that with this new approach, the PDP will conclude a year earlier than originally anticipated, because there will be fewer discrete deliverables and public comment periods.
7. The Working Group leadership team submitted a Project Change Request outlining the full rationale for updating the project plan.
