Transfers WG Conference Call 6 June 2007 3pm EDT (1900 UTC)

Participants:
Karen Lentz (ICANN Staff, Registry Liaison)
Barbara Steele (gTLD Registries Constituency)
Jon Nevett (Registrar Constituency)
Tom Keller (Registrar Constituency)
Tim Ruiz (Registrar Constituency)

A brief overview of the current documents was presented. However, it was
agreed that due to the lack of participation on the call it would be
best to postpone any further discussion. It was suggested that work
continue on the list. The following are the outcomes of the call:

1. All WG members should review issues 30-38 in the
TransfersChart-19jan06-2 document and, before the next call, submit to
the list any comments regarding the noted Next Steps for those issues.
The goal is to identify those issues that need only clarification of
existing policy (through advisory or amendment) and those that may need
new policy work.

2. All WG members should review the Draft-Transfer-Advisory-24jan07 and
DenialClarifications-28mar07 documents and submit comments to the list
before the next call. The advisories and clarifications in these
documents are based on the work of the WG as noted in the issues chart.

3. Tom expressed some concern that there were too many issues to
consider and that we should indentify key areas of concern to focus on.
Karen noted that many of the issues were interrelated and that there
could be further consolidation of some the issues. These relationships
can be further noted in the issues chart, and consolidated as they are
transferred into the final report.

4. Karen suggested that the Constituencies as a whole be notified that
the WG is once again in progress, hopefully garnering further
participation.

5. Barbara noted that the RyC has reviewed the current WG documents and
provided feedback. Barbara will submit that to the WG list.

Finally, this was not discussed on the call but Ross had requested that
the WG consider how the use of EPP has changed the policy environment
around domain name portability and what if any additional
recommendations we might make given our operational experience with the
protocol and policy. If you have any comments or observations to make
regarding this topic, please do so on the list prior to the next call.

Next call:  13 June 2007 3pm EDT (1900 UTC) for 90 minutes. 

Thanks,
Tim
