	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 [1] (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] and make relevant recommendations to the GNSO Council: 

	a)      Whether reporting requirements for registries and dispute
providers should be pan>developed, in order to make precedent and
trend information available to the pan>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 pan>occurred;

	c)      Whether dispute options for registrants should be developed
and implemented aspan>part of the policy (registrants currently depend
on registrars to initiate a dispute on pan>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 [2]. 

	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 [3]
(gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxx). This WG is already forming; please apply
promptly. 

	BACKGROUND 

	The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy [4] (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?.
