[council] Call for Volunteers Implementation Review Team IRTP Part D

[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Call for Volunteers Implementation Review Team IRTP Part D

In February 2015, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted the recommendations as 
listed in the Final Report of the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Review 
Working Group Part D. The implementation phase of these recommendations is 
about to start - in consultation with an Implementation Review Team (IRT), 
which is yet to be convened.

As resolved by the GNSO Council, this call for IRT volunteers is for the 
attention of the members of the IRTP Part D Working Group, at a minimum. It is 
possible to reach out to other (directly affected) parties and/or experts to 
ensure broad participation, if deemed necessary. The key responsibilities of 
the IRT are listed below:


·        The IRT evaluates the proposed Implementation Plan as drafted by staff 
for the recommendations as approved by the Board.

·        The IRT assists in case of questions or need for clarification related 
to the adopted recommendations.

·        The IRT works with ICANN staff to ensure that the implementation 
fulfills the original intentions of the approved policy recommendations.

·        Familiarity with the policy recommendations as well as the 
deliberations that informed the policy recommendations is a minimum requirement 
for IRT members.

·        All volunteers responding to this call are to understand the role and 
remit of the IRT for the implementation phase.

·        If the IRT identifies potential modifications to the policy or 
recommendations, the team will refer these to the GNSO Council for its 
consideration and additional guidance.

Background

The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) is an ICANN Consensus Policy under 
review by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO). The GNSO identified 
several issues in its review of the policy and grouped these into several 
Policy Development Processes (PDPs).

The IRTP Working Group Part D started reviewing its assigned issues in February 
2013, through weekly conference calls, an email list and face-to-face meetings 
during ICANN meetings in Beijing, Durban, Buenos Aires, Singapore and London. 
The Working Group presented 18 recommendations in its IRTP Part D Final Report: 
https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/transfers/irtp-d-final-25sep14-en.pdf. In 
February 2015, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted the Final Report's 
recommendations:
