style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I
think James tried to capture this non-time limited idea with the “permitted to
allow registrants to opt-in to an automatic renewal” part. But I also think
this could be worded a bit more clear. The original wording almost sounded like
it’s something we want to put forward as optional, this was not what I thought
the intent of the proposal should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The
other thing is that IRTP-B asked that FOAs are done both at the Gaining as
well as the Losing Registrar, so the restriction in the first paragraph to just
the Gaining registrar does not seem to make sense to me. I would simply state
“the registrar” there. The important thing in case of a change of registrant is
also, that the “seller” or “prior registrant” gave their consent to the
transfer, and that they can do so ahead of time if they wish to list their
names for sale in an automatic trading system.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div
