Council colleagues --

I move for the adoption of the attached motion during our next council meeting. 
 I would appreciate a second to the motion.

Thank you!

Initiation of a Policy Development Process (PDP) on the Inter-Registrar 
Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part D

Whereas
 
The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) is an existing consensus policy 
under review by the GNSO;
 
The GNSO Transfers Working Group identified a number of issues in its review of 
the current Policy and those issues have been grouped into suggested PDPs, set 
A-E, as per the Council's resolution of 8 May 2008;
 
The GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on IRTP Part D at its meeting on 17 
October 2012 (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions#20121017-4);
 
A Preliminary Issue Report on IRTP Part D was published on 14 November 2012 for 
public comment (see 
http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/irtp-d-prelim-issue-report-14nov12-en.htm).;
 
A Final Issue Report on IRTP Part D was published on 8 January 2012 (see 
[include link to Final Issue Report]);
 
The Final Issue Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy 
Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this 
report, and the General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly 
within the scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO
 
RESOLVED:
 
The GNSO will initiate a PDP on the issues defined in the Final Issue Report on 
the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part D ([include link to Final Issue 
Report]).
 
A Working Group will be created for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements 
of the PDP.
