Your Input Requested: Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B Initial Report

Opening of Public Comment Forum

5 July 2010

The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part B Policy Development Process 
(PDP) Working published its Initial Report on 29 May 2010. Today a public 
comment forum opens for a twenty-day period as prescribed by the ICANN by-laws. 
The IRTP Part B WG is looking for your input on the Initial Report and in 
particular on the preliminary conclusions and recommendations put forward in 
the report, including a proposed Expedited Transfer Reverse Policy. All those 
interested are encouraged to provide their input so that the WG can take these 
into account when finalizing its report following the closing of the public 
comment forum.

Background

The IRTP Part B Policy Development Process (PDP) is the second in a series of 
five PDPs that address areas for improvements in the existing Inter-Registrar 
Transfer Policy. The Working Group was tasked to address five issues focusing 
on issues related to domain hijacking, the urgent return of an inappropriately 
transferred name and “lock status”.

The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) aims to provide a straightforward 
procedure for domain name holders to transfer their names from one 
ICANN-accredited registrar to another should they wish to do so. The policy 
also provides standardized requirements for registrar handling of such transfer 
requests from domain name holders. The policy is an existing community 
consensus policy that was implemented in late 2004 and is now being reviewed by 
the GNSO.
