Hi Michael,
I have been out of the loop a bit this last week so I may have missed
something but I think that you have hit the nail on the head unless it is
specifically called out within the ERTP that a change of registrant occurs
within X [DAYS/WEEKS, etc] prior to the transfer.  Otherwise, the transfer
will appear to be within the IRTP.

Part B Initial Report


All:

I apologize for being such a pest. I just cannot help myself.

I would like to use Kevin's example to revisit another issue that I brought
up before. I think that we are discussing some important measures to reduce
unauthorized changes of Registrant and/or unauthorized inter-registrar
transfers. However, by our work on ETRP, we recognize that hijackings will
likely still occur.

If a registrant change occurs before an inter-registrar transfer, as in
Kevin's example, the hijacking victim cannot use ETRP or TDRP to recover the
domain name. The hijacker is the registrant at the time of the
inter-registrar transfer not the victim. Am I missing something?

Best regards,
Michael Collins

James and all,

If we cannot go beyond 60 days, then the potential problem is that the
hijacker of the high traffic domain hacks in and changes the Registrant and
transfers the domain to another Registrar while keeping the DNS stuff the
same.  The prior Registrant may not notice as the traffic continues to inure
to its benefit, then at day 65, the hijacker redirects the DNS for its own
purposes and the prior Registrant finds out it has no domain.  The proposed
alternative window for the ETRP would provide the prior Registrant a
procedure to quickly recover the domain once the high volume traffic
diversion occurs.

I understand that currently, the vast number of cases would not need more
than 60 days.  However, assuming the ETRP is well used, then every educated
hijacker will do as I propose above.

What is the time frame in the RAA for demarcating the end of the PTRa's
responsibility?  Perhaps tracking this time period would be better for
counsel to consider rather than a limitless time frame, but one that would
still somewhat deter the use of the scenario above.
