[gnso-irtp-b-jun09] For review - Recommendation #9

[Marika Konings <marika.konings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recommendation #9 - The WG proposes to modify section 3 of the IRTP to require 
that the Registrar of Record/Losing Registrar be required to [confirm] notify 
the Registered Name Holder/Registrant of the transfer out. The Registrar of 
Record has access to the contact information for the Registrant and could 
modify their systems to automatically send out the Standardized Form for Losing 
Registrars ("Confirmation FOA") to the Registrant. [Failure by the Registrant 
to respond within the 5 day pendingTransfer grace period would result in the 
transfer request being automatically denied or Nacked. At the time that the 
transfer is requested via the Gaining Registrar, the Transfer Contact that 
requested the transfer would be informed that positive confirmation by the 
Registrant is required to complete the transfer and that the Registrant will be 
receiving the Confirmation FOA from the Registrar of Record.]

Notes: An alternative proposal was suggested to address the charter question by 
requiring a positive confirmation of the transfer by the losing registrar (see 
email from Barbara: 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-irtp-b-jun09/msg00590.html).

Most members did not agree with the proposal to allow the losing registrar to 
deny a transfer if no response had been received from the registrant. It was 
proposed instead to require the losing registrar to confirm the transfer, but 
not allow a non-confirmation as a reason to deny the transfer. Rationale for 
this recommendation to be added to the notes of the report.
