Thanks Terri.

I don't know where to bring this up but I want to ask the Council to give a serious consideration to the outcome of the Human Rights Impact Assessment of TPR and try to address the issues that were brought forward.

The issues in specific:

1) privacy of domain name registrants when transfer happens by resellers: Standardize Protections Across Reseller Channels While some privacy protections are in place, significant gaps remain in the flow of registrant data between resellers and registrars.

2) Expand Access to Remedies for Hijacking: Current dispute resolution mechanisms do not adequately address domain name hijacking, particularly in cases that technically comply with policy but are clearly abusive.

3) Clarify and Review Abuse-Related Transfer Restrictions. Currently, registrants may face difficulty challenging registrar decisions to deny transfers based on alleged abuse. Recommendation: Develop clearer processes for registrants to dispute and appeal such decisions, ensuring the principle of due process and fair treatment is preserved.

Can we discuss the way forward for each of these recommendations? Here is the doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aQetWyuO0S_0FD0-cFlAFz4cm0km5bywoC7JYtcq7FU/edit?tab=t.0

Dear councilors,

A reminder to all that a Google doc is open for all to add their suggestions and comments to the upcoming GNSO Council meeting agendas. This does not have to be in the form of a full agenda item proposal, simple comments and questions are equally welcome!

You are welcome to add to the document via the comments feature.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
