Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B
Staff update on issues reporthttp://gnso.icann.org/drafts/irtp-part-b-issues-report-28may09.pdfhttp://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/irtp-report-b-15may09.pdfreport Background: The IRTP is a consensus policy that was adopted in 2004 to provide a clear and transparent way on how registrants can transfer their domain names between registrars.
"Are there more areas that needed further work?"
Issue 1: should there be an expedited handling of fraud? The issue was also further discussed in SSAC hijacking report which suggested that such a process should be developed & complement the transfer dispute resolution procedure (TDRP).
Issue 2: should there be additional provisions for undoing inappropriate transfers?
Issue 3: should there be special provisions for change of registrant near a change of registrar?
Issue 4: would registrants benefit from greater standardization?
Issue 5: clarification of the "reason for Denial Number 7" required or not?
Should issue 4 & 5, both about registrar lock status, be grouped together?
Comments from the floor: it has taken a long time (between 7 to 10 years, depending on participants) to reach this point. But this document needs to be written in such a way that it remains usable.
Motion voted in favour unanimously (pending absentee vote from Jordi Iparraguire).
Resolved, the GNSO Council approves the charter and appoints Tim Ruiz, confirmed as the GNSO Council liaison, to the IRTP policy development process Part B working group. Work to start within 14 days after the approval of the motion.
Comments from the floor: the work supported there could have been included in IRTP-A. Also asked, was a clear listing of the material that the working group will be reviewing.
IDN Update - Edmon Chung http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/idng-wg-charter-draft-23jun09.pdfEdmon Chung reported that there was concern among the IDN community that the IDN gTLD & IDN ccTLD should both be introduced at the same time. The concern is that introducing them at different times might introduce problems, possibly promoting the one first introduced, to the detriment of the other. Clearly, the two are linked since they potentially serve a similar purpose.
