[npoc-voice] Fwd: [liaison6c] Call for Volunteers: Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group Members - Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part D

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear NPOC Colleagues,

I participated in this WG for Part C. I found it very interesting, met nice
people and found it a good light way to learn a bit about the Registrar
business model and process. I encourage you to consider participation. I
take the opportunity to remind you that "participation" at ICANN does not
impose active participation and it allows for "monitoring participation "
which means you can just listen in for learning purposes. It is a gentle
way to get more involved in ICANN if you wish and it works well for me. I
make good connections in the process and meet new colleagues there I can
turn to privately for answers to my questions I was too hesitant to ask in
public or in the Working Group.

Hope the sharing of my early experience helps.

Best regards, Alain

*Call for Volunteers: Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group
Members - Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part D*****

* *

*In Brief *****

The 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<http://archive.icann.org/en/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm>(a
consensus policy adopted in 2004).
****

* *

* *

*What This Group Will Do *****

The initial tasks of the group will be to consider the following six
questions[1] <#13c74091a13c5ab8__ftn1> and make relevant recommendations to
the GNSO Council: ****

** **

**a)      **Whether reporting requirements for registries and dispute
providers should be developed, in order to make precedent and trend
information available to the community and allow reference to past cases in
dispute submissions;****

**b)      **Whether additional provisions should be included in the TDRP
(Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy) on how to handle disputes when
multiple transfers have occurred;****

**c)      **Whether dispute options for registrants should be developed and
implemented as part of the policy (registrants currently depend on
registrars to initiate a dispute on their behalf);****

**d)      **Whether requirements or best practices should be put into place
for registrars to make information on transfer dispute resolution options
available to registrants;****

**e)      **Whether existing penalties for policy violations are sufficient
or if additional provisions/penalties for specific violations should be
added into the policy;****

**f)       **Whether the universal adoption and implementation of EPP
AuthInfo codes has eliminated the need of FOAs. **

*How This Group Will Work *

ICANN 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 D 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<http://../../Library/Caches/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/Outlook%20Temp/gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdf>.
****

* *

*How to Join *****

The 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 C are especially encouraged to
apply. Community members who wish to be invited to join the group should
contact the GNSO secretariat <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml',
'gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx?subject\x3dApplication%20to%20Join%20IRTP%20Part%20C%20Working%20Group');>(
gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml',
'gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx');>). This WG is already forming; please apply
promptly. ****

*Background *****

The Inter‐Registrar Transfer
Policy<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/transfers/policy-01jun12.htm>(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 on 17 January 2013, 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 D. 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 D”. ****
