> Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part CÂ
> In BriefThe Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks 
> volunteers to serve on a Working Group that will address issues related to 
> the transfer of domain names between registrars. After investigating and 
> considering specific issues (detailed below), the Working Group is expected 
> to recommend how to handle these issues, which could include proposals for 
> changes to the existing Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (a consensus policy 
> adopted in 2004).
> What This Group Will DoThe initial tasks of the group will be to consider the 
> following questions[1] and make recommendations to the GNSO Council:
>
>
> a)Â Â Â Â Â  "Change of Control" function, including an investigation of how 
> this function is currently achieved, if there are any applicable models in 
> the country-code name space that can be used as a best practice for the gTLD 
> space, and any associated security concerns. It should also include a review 
> of locking procedures, as described in Reasons for Denial #8 and #9, with an 
> aim to balance legitimate transfer activity and security.
> b)Â Â Â Â Â  Whether provisions on time-limiting Form Of Authorization (FOA)s 
> should be implemented to avoid fraudulent transfers out. For example, if a 
> Gaining Registrar sends and receives an FOA back from a transfer contact, but 
> the name is locked, the registrar may hold the FOA pending adjustment to the 
> domain name status, during which time the registrant or other registration 
> information may have changed.
> c)Â Â Â Â Â Â  Whether the process could be streamlined by a requirement that 
> registries use IANA IDs for registrars rather than proprietary IDs.
> How This Group Will WorkICANN Working Groups use transparent, open processes. 
> The meetings of this WG will be recorded, and the recordings will be 
> available to the public. The mailing list for the IRTP Part C WG will be 
> archived publicly. Working Group members are expected to submit Statements of 
> Interest (SOI). The group will collaborate using a public workspace. The 
> Working Group is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines.
> How to JoinThe Council invites interested parties to provide names of 
> expected participants who can then be added to the WG mailing list. The GNSO 
> Council may also invite stakeholders and experts to join. Participants in the 
> Working Group that addressed IRTP Part B are especially encouraged to apply. 
> Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should contact the 
> GNSO secretariat (gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx). This WG is already forming; 
> please apply promptly.

> BackgroundThe Inter©\Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) is a consensus policy 
> adopted in 2004 to provide a straightforward procedure for domain name 
> holders to transfer domain names between registrars. An overall review of 
> this policy identified areas that require clarification or improvement. At 
> its meeting of 22 September 2011, the Generic Names Supporting Organization 
> (GNSO) Council passed a resolution chartering a Policy Development Process 
> (PDP) Working Group (WG) to address the topic of Inter-Registrar Transfer 
> Policies (IRTP) Part C. Because the initial review identified a wide range of 
> issues related to transferring domain names, the issues have been categorized 
> into subsets. This Working Group will tackle the issues referred to as 
> ¡°Part C¡±.
