PLEASE RSVP Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session
by Nathalie Peregrine Dec. 9, 2014

Dec. 9, 2014

Reminder: Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session These ongoing monthly sessions are for new GNSO WG participants to come together and discuss any questions they may have about GNSO Working Groups, procedures and/or processes. We know there is a lot of information to digest when you join a GNSO Working Group and these monthly meetings are an opportunity for newcomers and more experienced participants to meet in an informal setting without the pressure of "real work" that needs be done. The agenda is flexible. The presenters will be ready with a standard set of materials if people would like to discuss them. Feel free to submit questions, either in advance or at the beginning of the meeting, if there is a topic that you would like to explore in more depth . Providing useful answers to a wide range of questions is part of the reason why these meetings are Thursday 23 October at 12.00 UTC (new date) Thursday 6 November at 20.00 UTC Thursday 4 December at 12.00 UTC To convert to your local time zone, please see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html If you are interested to join the next meeting on 23 October or any of the future meetings, please let the GNSO Secretariat know ( <mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> gnso-secs(a)icann.org) and we will send you the call details. If there are any specific questions you already have, or any overviews or introductions you think would be helpful (e.g. GNSO Policy Development Process or GNSO Working Group guidelines), please let us know in advance and we will prepare materials accordingly. Feel free to share this invitation with others that you think may be interested. We look forward to welcoming you at the next meeting! Nathalie Peregrine GNSO Secretariat

IRTP-C Notes from last call / Details for 6 Nov Call
by Caitlin Tubergen Nov. 6, 2014

Nov. 6, 2014

Hi All, Thank you to all who attended last Thursday¹s call. A recording of the call can be downloaded here: http://ftp.adigo.com/clients/icann/20141030_IRTP_PartC.zip Details for 6 November Call (Outlook invite to follow shortly) The next Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Part C Implementation Review Team teleconference is scheduled for Thursday 6 November 2014 at 17:00 UTC. 09:00 PST, 12:00 EST, 17:00 London, 17:00 CET, 03:00 (+1 day) Sydney. Call details can be found below: Adigo Conference ID: 28462745 Adigo numbers: http://adigo.com/icann/ Adobe Connect with audio enabled: http://icann.adobeconnect.com/irtppartc/ Notes from 30 October Call Thanks to everyone who attended the feedback was very helpful. For those of you who were unable to attend, I have provided a brief summary of the issues that we covered. 1. Section 1(d) - The majority of those in attendance agreed that ³material change² should be a defined term in the policy, rather than a footnote. Material Change is now a defined term in section 1(d) of the policy. 2. Section 2.2(a) - There were some concerns that this clause could affect companies who provide expired domain sales. Accordingly, some members of the IRT offered to share this with stakeholders and/or companies who would be affected/interested by this. (For those of you who volunteered or wish to volunteer, please do so.) :) 3. Section 2.2(c) - The group had a lively discussion about domain name disputes, particularly in reference to the URS and other disputes that the registrar may have no knowledge of. Accordingly, the language has been modified further to the IRT¹s suggestion. The group was also opposed to the language, formerly in section 1(c), involving the serverUpdateprohibited EPP status. Specifically, registries could set this status for reasons other than a URS proceeding, so those in attendance believed this broadened the original intent of the WG and should therefore be removed. You are welcome to review the newly-proposed language in section 2.2(c) and provide feedback. 4. Section 2.3 The group also had a lively discussion around this section. Section 2.3 was written to include optional reasons for COR denial that the WG may not have thought of, e.g., fraud, registry-imposed eligibility restrictions, et. al. The majority of the group agreed that this is treading closely into policy-making territory, and the IRT is not supposed to create policy. The IRT also noted that many of the circumstances listed in the former section 2.3 can be resolved via other consensus policies or via registration agreements. By way of example, fraud could be a breach of a registration agreement, allowing the registrar to cancel the registration agreement through a mechanism other than this policy. For the members that were present during the call, please feel free to elaborate if I did not accurately summarize your concerns. :) I have deleted that entire section to reflect the consensus of those one the call. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or feedback. Thank you! Kind regards, Caitlin Tubergen Registrar Relations and Contracts Manager ICANN
