Hi James,

The RySG does not require unanimity to express its support. Rather than say 
"RySG does not fully support," the WG might consider noting that there was some 
concern about specific recommendations, but no outright opposition (assuming 
the conditions below).

As Barbara noted, she's interacting with the few Registry reps that have raised 
concerns. IMO, Rec #15 would require a lot more effort than anyone is prepared 
to undertake at this time. Since IRTP-D merely recommends "avoiding" policy 
specific sanctions, there's always room for some other WG to take this issue up 
in the future. Barbara, you might want to challenge the person who raised this 
issue if the wording is sufficient (i.e. flexible for the future) or offer some 
edit.

Rec #5 is still under discussion; hopefully we'll have clarity by Monday's 
call. Barbara has explained the WG's logic behind the recommendation. Perhaps 
its time to directly ask if any RySG member really opposes the measure, or just 
wishes the status quo remains? Absent outright opposition, I think it's fair to 
say the RySG generally supports the IRTP-D's recommendations.

Unfortunately, I have a pre-existing schedule conflict and won't be able to 
join you on the 22nd, but I wanted to thank and congratulate everyone for 
seeing the IRTP PDPs through to the end. It's hard to believe this all started 
in 2008 ...er, maybe not!

Best, P

Thanks, Barbara.

I’m curious:  What would be involved if the RySG does not “fully support” a 
recommendation, due to a single member’s disagreement?  How would this be 
reflected in our report?   Does the RySG only support (and vote on council) if 
their membership is unanimous?

Thanks—

J.

Lars,
Thank you for sending the updated report.  I circulated a previous version of 
the report to the RySG and have received some limited feedback this week.  
Based on the feedback received, there are two recommendations for which the 
RySG is unable to voice full support at this time.  The first is Recommendation 
#15 - “As a guidance to future policy development processes, this Working Group 
recommends that policy specific sanctions be avoided wherever possible.”  One 
member of the RySG provided feedback that since there are more sanctions 
available now, that it may make sense for the policy-making effort to link 
specific violations to specific sanctions rather than transfering this 
responsibility to ICANN staff.  The second is Recommendation #5 – “The WG 
recommends that the statute of limitation to launch a TDRP be extended from 
current 6 months to 12 months from the initial transfer.”  This item is still 
under discussion.  I will let the WG know as soon as possible whether or not 
the concerns raised with regard to this recommendation have been resolved or if 
it will be necessary to note that the RySG is unable to fully support this 
recommendation as well.  Thanks.

Subject: [gnso-irtpd] For your (final?) review

Dear all,

Please find attached the Final Report including the Executive Summary. There 
are very few changes (all redlined) to the version I sent out on Tuesday and to 
which no comments/changes/amendments were submitted.

To clarify the Groups’ Recommendation two small amendments are suggested 
(redlined) to the explanations of Recommendations #1 and #18.

If you have any comments/suggested edits, please submit these asap.

Please also find below the agenda for Monday’s call. Many thanks and have a 
good weekend!
Best wishes,
Lars
