The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) is an existing consensus policy under review by the GNSO;
The GNSO Transfers Working Group identified a number of issues in its review of the current Policy and those issues have been grouped into suggested PDPs, set A-E, as per the Council's resolution of 8 May 2008;
The GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on IRTP Part D at its meeting on 17 October 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions#20121017-4);
A Preliminary Issue Report on IRTP Part D was published on 14 November 2012 for public comment (see http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/irtp-d-prelim-issue-report-14nov12-en.htm).;
A Final Issue Report on IRTP Part D was published on 8 January 2012 (see

The Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO
