Re: [gnso-irtpd] here's the little summary of that sequence of events i rattled off on the call just now -- registrant role in TDRP

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

Marika and i came up with some ideas on moving this conversation forward.  
these ideas were battle tested and refined on the drafting subgroup call that 
happened this morning.  see what you think.

first, thanks all for the lively conversation this week.  it helped me 
understand a few things better and shaped this scheme.   

here's the short version of the idea.  let's:

1) develop a series of scenarios and use them to explore the boundaries of 
policy and roles.  

2) acknowledge that there's a gap right now -- the implementation of 
registrant-transfer in IRTP-C.  once this is further along we may find that 
there are other options that registrants can use pursue certain complaints, 
that the policy is insufficient, that additional mechanisms need to be 
developed, etc.  in a sense, we're ahead of that process -- but we're also 
coming across issues that need to be fed into it.  since we're ahead, we might 
as well document those things as we come across them.

3) also acknowledge that the TDRP is currently not very visible to registrants, 
nor do they understand either the policy or the role of registrars in 
implementing it.  perhaps we can beef up the notification that registrars 
provide about the policy, and registrants options as to how they can proceed, 
especially at the time when a registrant comes to the registrar with a problem.

here's some more detailed material about the "scenarios" idea.

when building our scenarios, let's use these dimensions for starters.  you're 
encouraged to invent more dimensions, by the way.

- policy

        - existing IRTP/TDRP clearly applies
        - "inter registrant transfer" version of IRTP clearly applies
        - ICANN policy clearly does NOT apply
        - murky puzzler 

- parties

        - disputes entirely between registrants
        - disputes entirely between registrars
        - disputes between registrants where registrars may be a party to the 
dispute
        - disputes between registrars where registrants may be a party to the 
dispute
        - murky puzzler

- role of ICANN Compliance

        - Compliance clearly has a role under existing IRTP/TDRP policy
        - Compliance could have a role under the "inter registrant transfer" 
version of IRTP
        - Compliance clearly does NOT have a role under any circumstance
        - murky puzzler

let's run a few scenarios through that sifter and see whether this is getting 
us anywhere.  i'm hopeful.  

thanks all,

mikey
