RE: [gnso-irtp-pdp-jun08] Updated concluding statements and revised initial report posted

["Erdman, Kevin R." <Kevin.Erdman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Marika,
 
I must give my regrets for tomorrow's teleconference.  However, I would like
to augment the Section III discussion as follows:
 
Based on the discussion in the Working Group, there appears to be broad
agreement that there is no need to incorporate provisions for handling
partial bulk transfers between registrars at this stage. The Working Group
believes that these scenarios can be addressed either through the existing
Bulk Transfer provisions, or through existing market solutions. However, some
constituency statements expressed a contrary view, and additional information
on how the existing Bulk Transfer provisions or market failures require new
partial bulk transfer provisions would be considered. It should be noted that
the Working Group will not take a final decision on which solution(s), if
any, to recommendations to the GNSO Council before a thorough review of the
comments received during the public comment period and final constituency
statements has taken place.

        Dear All,
        
        Please note that I have posted an updated version of the draft
Initial Report on the Wiki (
https://st.icann.org/irtp_jun08_pdp-wg/index.cgi?irtp_part_a_pdp_wg_pdp_jun08
), dated 15 December, in which I have integrated the concluding statements
for each issues and updated the executive summary which will hopefully
facilitate the review of the report on tomorrow's conference call.
        
        With best regards,
        
        Marika

                Dear All,
                
                As discussed yesterday on our conference call, please find
below an updated version of the proposed concluding statements for each
issue. Please post your comments and suggestions to the list. 
                
                In addition, you will find a slightly updated version of the
draft Initial Report posted on the Wiki (
https://st.icann.org/irtp_jun08_pdp-wg/index.cgi?irtp_part_a_pdp_wg_pdp_jun08
). The only change compared to the previous version can be found on page 22,
where the feedback from staff on the bulk transfer provisions has been
incorporated. Please review the report and post any comments and/or
suggestions to the list. The aim is to review and finalise the Initial Report
on the next conference call (16 December).
                
                With best regards,
                
                Marika
                
                =========================
                Issue I
                Based on the discussions in the Working Group and taking into
account the current phrasing of Issue I which limits it to a technical
assessment of the issue, there appears to be agreement that a policy change
is not required. The WG noted that WHOIS was not designed to support many of
the ways in which it is currently used. Some members suggested that finding a
way to make the Registrant e-mail address more readily available could be
addressed as part of an overall technical modernization of the WHOIS
protocol.  This could be through updates to the existing protocol,
modification of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) or adoption of the
Internet Registry Information Service (IRIS) protocol.  However, after review
and discussion none of these options received broad agreement.  
                 
                The WG did note that, in the absence of a simple and secure
solution for providing the gaining registrar access to the registrant email
address, future IRTP working groups should consider the appropriateness of a
policy change that would prevent a registrant from reversing a transfer after
it has been completed and authorized by the admin contact. This option would
not change the current situation whereby a losing registrar can choose to
notify the registrant and provide an opportunity to cancel a transfer before
the process is completed. 
                 
                It should be noted that the Working Group will not take a
final decision on which solution(s), if any, to recommendations to the GNSO
Council before a thorough review of the comments received during the public
comment period and final constituency statements has taken place.
                
                Issue II
                Based on the discussion in the Working Group, there appears
to be broad agreement that there is a need for other options for electronic
authentication.  However, opinions in the Working Group differ as to whether
this should be an issue for GNSO policy making or for market solutions. It
should be noted that the Working Group will not take a final decision on
which solution(s), if any, to recommendations to the GNSO Council before a
thorough review of the comments received during the public comment period and
final constituency statements has taken place. 
                
                Issue III 
                Based on the discussion in the Working Group, there appears
to be broad agreement that there is no need to incorporate provisions for
handling partial bulk transfers between registrars at this stage. The Working
Group believes that these scenarios can be addressed either through the
existing Bulk Transfer provisions, or through existing market solutions. It
should be noted that the Working Group will not take a final decision on
which solution(s), if any, to recommendations to the GNSO Council before a
thorough review of the comments received during the public comment period and
final constituency statements has taken place.
