Dear Councilors.

Item 17-2021 is the latest recommendations by the ccNSO Triage Committee, which is now being presented to Council for review and consideration.  If you do not agree with the recommendation, kindly let me know at your earliest convenience, latest by Tuesday, 13 July 2021 (23:59 UTC).

About the Request for Input

The GNSO Transfer Policy Review Policy Development Process Working Group reached out to the ccNSO leadership team with a request for Early Input regarding some scope-related questions, as part of its charter.

The GNSO Transfer Policy Review PDP WG scope is defined through a series of questions presented in the working group’s charter. These questions are organized under eight topic areas that will be considered by the working group in two phases.  Currently, the working group is seeking input on the questions for phase 1, which focus on the following topics:

1. Gaining & Losing Registrar Form of Authorization (“FOA”), including items raised in the Expedited Policy Development Process Recommendation 27, Wave 1 Report as they relate to FOA requirements
2. AuthInfo Code Management
3. Change of Registrant, including items raised in the Expedited Policy Development Process Recommendation 27, Wave 1 Report as they relate to Change of Registrant

Triage Recommendation

Kindly provide me with your input by Tuesday, 13 July 2021 (23:59 UTC).

Rationale for draft triage recommendation and background

You will be able to find further information in the enclosed document, which was sent by the Transfer Policy Review PDP WG to the ccNSO Council Chair. The document mentions that this request for input is somewhat redundant, since the SO/ACs have been previously invited to participate in the GNSO PDP effort. Moreover, it is mentioned that here will be additional opportunities for community input as the PDP progresses.

Moreover, the ccNSO Council previously decided that the ccNSO refrains from formally appointing members to this Working Group, since its focus is on the gTLD Transfer Policy, and domain names at the second level. Hence the limited impact on ccTLD managers.  See Triage recommendation 11-2021 included here: https://bit.ly/2HPKKFE
