Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) to Review the Transfer Policy
by Joke Braeken April 13, 2021

April 13, 2021

Dear All, The GNSO seeks volunteers for a new Policy Development Working Group to review the gTLD Transfer Policy. The ccNSO Council has decided that it will not formally appoint any members to the GNSO Transfer PDP WG, since transfers of second level domains under gTLDs do not affect ccTLDs directly. Nonetheless, the ccNSO Council agreed to spread the word about this GNSO call for volunteers. Anyone interested in this effort may join as an observer – observers are subscribed to the mailing list on a read-only basis but are not able to post. Similarly, observers are not invited to speak during in WG meetings. Recordings / transcripts of meetings will be available to observers and are also posted publicly. Observers may of course respond to all public comment proceedings. If interested, please contact the GNSO Secretariat at gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> . Background The GNSO Council has initiated<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2021#202102> a policy development process (PDP) to review the Transfer Policy and subsequently adopted<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2021#202103> the related Working Group Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/draft-cha…> during its 24 March 2021 meeting. Drawing on recommendations from the Transfer Policy Initial Scoping Paper<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/transfer-…>, the proposed approach put forward in the Final Issue Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-iss…> and accompanying draft charter that incorporated a number of PDP 3.0 Improvements<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-final…>, as well as input received through outreach to SO/AC/SG/C chairs, the GNSO Council has decided to follow a representative model for this Working Group with a limited number of members and alternates.
