2. Continue discussion of Preliminary Agreements [docs.google.com]from Charter Question i1 (Full Portfolio Transfers AKA Bulk Transfers) and Charter Question i2 (Change of Sponsorship AKA Partial Bulk Transfers) – See also attached slides, starting at #36 i1) In light of these challenges described in section 3.1.7.2 of the Final Issue Report [gnso.icann.org], should the required fee in Section I.B.2 of the Transfer Policy be revisited or removed in certain circumstances? i2) Should the scope of voluntary bulk transfers, including partial bulk transfers, be expanded and/or made uniform across all registry operators? If so, what types of rules and considerations should govern voluntary bulk transfers and partial bulk transfers? Preliminary Agreement #1: The Working Group recommends that Registry Operators MAY charge a fee to implement a full domain name portfolio transfer* from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another ICANN-accredited registrar. The Working Group recognizes that there may be instances where the Registry chooses to waive this fee, such as cases where [a registrar is involuntarily terminated by ICANN org due to a compliance breach, non-responsiveness to renewal notices, etc.]
Discussion:
ACTION ITEM: Re: Preliminary Agreement #1 – Staff to tighten the language including taking out the examples and putting them into the rationale.
Preliminary Agreement #4: Due to the variable nature of the fee associated with full portfolio transfers, the Working Group recommends that Registry Operators MUST provide notice to registrars of any fees associated with full portfolio transfers upon request and prior to the completion initiation of the full portfolio transfer. How Registry Operators choose to provide notice of fees will be up to the Registry to decide, i.e., password protected portal, website, written notice, etc. Discussion:
Preliminary Agreement #5: In the event a registry establishes a mandatory fee for full portfolio transfers, the Working Group recommends [the fee MUST NOT exceed $50,000 or $1 per domain name, whichever is less.] Questions:
Discussion:
ACTION ITEM: Re: Preliminary Agreement #5 -- WG members to consider suggesting a floor and ceiling or other fee structure, whether fees should be included in the policy or elsewhere, and impacts on Preliminary Agreement #1, and put these suggestions in the Working Document at: Preliminary Agreements [docs.google.com]. |
