Councilors:

In preparation for our next meeting in Los Angeles, I would like to formally 
introduce the motion (below) to adopt the Final Report and Recommendations of 
the IRTP Part D PDP (IRTP-D) Working Group.

I am also seeking a second for this motion.  Please let me know if you have 
questions or need additional info.

Motion on the Adoption of the IRTP Part D Final Report and Recommendations

Whereas


1.     On 17 January 2013, the GNSO Council launched a Policy Development 
Process (PDP) on IRTP Part D [http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions - 
201301<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201301>] addressing the 
following six Charter questions:


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 registrant;

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.


2.     This PDP has followed the prescribed PDP steps as stated in the Bylaws, 
resulting in a Final Report delivered on 25 September 2014;



3.     The IRTP Part D WG has reached full consensus on the 18 recommendations 
in relation to the six issues outlined above;



4.     The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations.

Now therefore be it resolved,


1.     The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the adoption 
of the IRTP Part D recommendations (#1 to #18) as detailed in the IRTP Part D 
Final Report 
[http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/transfers/irtp-d-final-25sep14-en.pdf].



2.     The GNSO Council shall convene an IRTP Part D Implementation Review Team 
to assist ICANN Staff in developing the implementation details for the new 
policy should it be approved by the ICANN Board. The Implementation Review Team 
will be tasked with evaluating the proposed implementation of the policy 
recommendations as approved by the Board and is expected to work with ICANN 
Staff to ensure that the resultant implementation fulfils the intentions of the 
approved policies. If the IRTP Part D Implementation Review Team identifies any 
potential modifications to the policy or new policy recommendations, the IRTP 
Part D Implementation Review Team shall refer these to the GNSO Council for its 
consideration and follow-up, as appropriate. Following adoption by the ICANN 
Board of the recommendations, the GNSO Secretariat is authorized to issue a 
call for volunteers for an IRTP Part D Implementation Review Team to the 
members of the IRTP Part D Working Group.
