[bc-gnso] please review: brief BC comment on IRTP-B recommendations

[Steve DelBianco <sdelbianco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As we noted on our 14-Jul member call, ICANN's Board will soon consider the 
GNSO  PDP recommendations for IRTP-B (inter-Registrar Transfer Policy - Part 
B).   There is now an open public comment period for any advice to the Board 
before they consider the PDP recommendations.      See docs and description 
here<http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/irtp-b-recommendations-08jul11-en.htm>.

Last week, I suggested that our BC members who were most active on the IRTP 
working group could offer a comment for the BC to submit to the Board.    Mikey 
O'Connor, Berry Cobb, and Chris Chaplow came up with this brief comment:
The BC endorses the recommendations made by the IRTP-B Working Group and 
encourages Board members to vote in favor of the motion as drafted.

If Board members have issues which prevent them from supporting the motion, the 
BC urges the Board refer the issue back to the GNSO Council which can ask the 
IRTP-B working group to review the Board's feedback and perhaps modify 
recommendations where appropriate.

These comments are due 8-Aug, giving us 9 days for review, edits, and approval. 
     This is less than than our customary 14 day review period, but I believe 9 
days is adequate to review a two-sentence comment that is based on a previous 
BC position.

All BC members are invited to suggest edits on the BC list.
