[gnso-irtp-b-jun09] FW: Aftermarket Perspective

["Bob Mountain" <bmountain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone, 
On the Aug 24 call James Bladel asked Simonetta and I to gather some 
aftermarket perspective on ETRP.   We've put together a list of questions and a 
number of aftermarket cohorts.  Please feel free to reply with any comments or 
suggestions by end of day Monday Sept 6.  We'll begin reaching out next week.

Best!
Mtn.

        Dear [name],
         
        We are currently soliciting feedback for the ICANN IRTP-B Workgroup to 
provide a perspective from the secondary domain market on their proposed 
Expedited Transfer Reverse Policy (ERTP) process.  We would like to request 
15-20 minutes of your time by phone over the next few days.
         
        You can find information on the current proposal here (see pages 49-54 
of this document):

        We would like to share the following thoughts with you about this topic:
         
        

        1.      How many domain hijackings have you experienced (either buying 
or selling)?   
        2.      How many would you normally expect to experience in a year? 
        3.      Were the hijackings resolved to your satisfaction?   
        4.      How there they resolved? 
        5.      Do you feel there are adequate tools and processes in place to 
prevent or resolve domain hijackings? 
        6.      Are you familiar with the ETRP process that is currently in the 
comment period at ICANN? 
        7.      Do you have any comments about ETRP? 
        8.      Do you have any suggestions on the domain registration and 
transfer process that would make it more secure and less prone to hijacking?
                

        
        Please let us know if you would be available to discuss by phone within 
the next seven days.
