Summary of the yesterday GNSO TRPR call
by Lutz Donnerhacke Aug. 23, 2023

Aug. 23, 2023

The session discussed ICANN-approved transfers, specifically focusing on bulk transfers involving registrars and their coordination. Proposed Preliminary Agreements were examined, with a spotlight on two major topics: full portfolio transfers (bulk transfers) and change of sponsorship (partial bulk transfers). We were encouraged to review Proposed Preliminary Agreements #1 and #4 before the upcoming meeting on August 29. The Working Group proposed that Registry Operators be allowed to charge a fee for transferring domain name portfolios between ICANN-accredited registrars, while considering circumstances where fees could be waived. The discussion revolved around ensuring transparent and predictable pricing while safeguarding registrants' interests. There were conversations about defining fee ceilings and avoiding abusive pricing practices. Care must be taken to distinguish between bulk transfers for economic reasons (no ICANN approval), ICANN initiated transfers (i.e. termination of a registrar), and those in question (ICANN approved). Participants debated the responsibility of the entity initiating a transfer, raising concerns about practicality, incentives, and potential complications. The importance of balancing the needs of the ecosystem while considering the impact on registrants emerged as a key theme. Overall, the meeting aimed to strike a balance between flexible pricing for Registry Operators and preventing unreasonable fees, with a focus on registrants' welfare and ongoing engagement. Smaller registrants are typically involved by domain registration through resellers (the sponsorship case). In cases of changing legal environments, such as the example of Brexit, resellers might be compelled to switch registrars due to shifts in regulatory frameworks. These transitions potentially involve bulk transfers of domain portfolios which might fell in this category.

Closed Generics - Status update
by Alan Greenberg Aug. 9, 2023

Aug. 9, 2023

The Closed Generics Facilitated Dialogue referred two questions to the Chairs of the GNSO, GAC and ALAC: (1) Based on the fundamental issues identified [by this group], is it possible for this policy topic to reach a final framework document? (2) If so, is the Facilitated Dialogue group the most appropriate place to do that work, understanding that such work will likely extend the efforts of this group beyond the next two months? The Chairs met and replied with the attached letter making several recommendations: - we believe that it is not necessary to resolve the question of closed generic gTLDs as a dependency for the next round of new gTLDs, and we plan to inform the ICANN Board accordingly. - we also plan to ask that, for the next round, the Board maintain the position that, unless and until there is a community-developed consensus policy in place, any applications seeking to impose exclusive registry access for "generic strings" to a single person or entity and/or that person's or entity's Affiliates (as defined in Section 2.9(c) of the Registry Agreement) should not proceed. - any future community policy work on this topic should be based on the good work that has been done to date in this facilitated dialogue. Discussions are ongoing as to the form that the final output of the group will take. If the Board accepts the recommendation of the three chairs, there will be no closed generic TLDs in coming rounds unless and until the subject is reopened. Greg and Alan
