2023-07-11 Transfer Policy Review PDP WG Call

PROPOSED AGENDA

1. Welcome and Chair updates
2. Discussion of Charter Question i1 ICANN-Approved Transfer (Bulk Transfers):

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?

         a. Overview of numbers related to ICANN-approved Bulk Transfers from 2018 – 2022

         b. Questions for consideration based on initial reactions from Working Group

• • The $50,000 fee is a requirement from BTAPPAs that existed in a pre-New gTLD world? Accordingly, what fee considerations (if any) should be made now that bulk transfers could involve multiple TLDs?
  • Are there instances where the $50,000 fee(s) should be waived? (Examples could include involuntary bulk transfer arising from involuntary bulk transfer resulting from RAA terminations).
  • Should tiered fees depending on volume be considered in ICANN-approved bulk transfers?
  • Should additional carve-outs be considered for involuntary transfers - for example - premium names?
