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 "material change" 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 IRT's 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
