Dear CPWG Members,

As mentioned on yesterday’s CPWG meeting, please take a moment to review the draft final report language for recommendation 33 of the Transfer Policy Review provided by Steinar Grøtterød.

• Recommendation 33 - Request to GNSO for further work on Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy and Potential New Dispute Mechanism:
  • The working group recommends the GNSO request an Issues Report or other suitable mechanism to further research and explore the pros and cons of (i) expanding the TDRP to registrant filers and (ii) creating a new standalone dispute resolution mechanism for registrants who wish to challenge improper transfers, including compromised and stolen domain names. There remains a need for an intermediary mechanism to remedy unauthorized transfers between ToS claw backs and litigation as well as other issues as may be identified by the GNSO. [The working group recommends that any such additional dispute mechanism that empowers registrants should be in addition to [and not prohibit] any informal resolution that registrars successfully employ in the overwhelming number of instances.]

Steinar, in his capacity as At-Large representative to the GNSO-TPR working group, recommends the At-Large Community to accept and agree on this final report language.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Andrew
