Accordingly ICANN staff would like to invite you to participate in this group. The TAG is being formed as ICANN staff is in the process of implementing the 29 consensus policy recommendations from the report of the GNSO Council's Transfer Task Force, and as approved by the ICANN Board. The final report can be found at http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-12feb03.htm. The members of the Transfers Assistance Group should expect to assist in the implementation of the 29 policies as approved by the Board. I would like to specifically note that the effort of the TAG is not the place for re-arguing decisions already made, nor is it an advocacy platform at all; it is intended to be a way to assist ICANN Staff in the implementation of the policies already approved by the Board, and hence to help in making the process of implementing these policies more effective. The TAG members are naturally free to take any positions on any subjects, including this one, in other fora, but this group is intended specifically to help the ICANN Staff to flesh out the Transfer Policies, and nothing more. The TAG group is not intended to be a vehicle for determining or recording community-wide consensus. It will consist of a sufficiently diverse set of people that will reflect a broad range of potential views, but what is sought here is the personal assistance of particular people in helping the ICANN Staff to implement the transfer policies in registry contracts, registrar contracts and elsewhere as appropriate. So, just to make this point clear, this group is not charged with undertaking any outreach or consensus development itself; its only charge is to provide, from its members as a group, input and assistance to ICANN Staff. The first meeting of the TAG will be a teleconference and is scheduled for August 25, 2003. The second meeting will be held in person for those individuals that can attend, and is planned for September 11, 2003 in connection with the registrar and registry constituency meetings in Marina Del Rey, California. Specific agenda as well as dial-in information for the first meeting will be provided as soon as possible. I am looking forward to your reply to this invitation and would like to specify that ICANN Staff would very much appreciate your participation, due to the tremendous work you already have performed in connection with the development of the Transfer Policies. Also if you have any questions, comments or concerns please don't hesitate to give me a call anytime.
