Thanks, James. The schedule/project plan is indeed topic #1. But I think the bigger question - how does this fit into all of the rest of the work underway? - is probably outside this group's remit. My team (on staff) is currently mapping out all of the implementation items we see on the horizon and trying to figure out a way to manage those in a responsible way. I think, ultimately, it might require a discussion with the GNSO council, but that's as far as my thinking has progressed to date... Happy to discuss on the call if you and others like.

Welcome to the Transfer Policy Working Group C Implementation Review Team ("IRTPWGCIRT"). I will be leading ICANN's implementation of the GNSO's IRTP C recommendations, and it is my pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you on this effort. As a refresher, the GNSO made 3 recommendations that were adopted by the ICANN Board: 1. Modify the IRTP / Create a consensus policy that would apply to inter-registrant transfers. 2. Revise the existing Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy related to the expiration of the Form of Authorization used by registrars during transfers. 3. Require registries to include registrars' GURIDs (aka IANA IDs) in Whois output. Recommendation 3 is currently being implemented by Staff, so that leaves recs 1 & 2 for us. There is quite a bit of work to be done on these, so I've created a project plan that I'd like to share with you for feedback on a kick-off call. If you're interested in attending, would you kindly enter your availability in this doodle poll?: http://doodle.com/7uq5vaiyu7n8fpu8 Thanks in advance. I look forward to working with you.

hi Mike, i think "how we fit" is in our remit, because we will have a unique perspective on dependencies. but i agree that creating the larger structure that we fit *into* isn't. do a search on "program management" for tips on how to put together and manage a portfolio of inter-connected projects. i think we be a project, within a larger program. mikey On Jun 6, 2013, at 8:56 AM, James M.

Right. And this IRT must be aware of all these new changes, particularly those that could affect its own items.

For example, the new 2013 RAA will have validation/verification requirements. The IRT must consider how this (not yet adopted) verification process will affect the Change of Registrant procedure. There are probably a bunch of unknown dependencies like that….

Mike and Team:

What is ICANN's plan w.r.t. scheduling this implementation? We are still working on Rec 9 of IRTP-B, ERRP, TMCH, and soon New gTLDs and the 2013 RAA. I'm concerned that these changes are starting to work against each other, and are definitely contending for the same development resources.

Greetings! Welcome to the Transfer Policy Working Group C Implementation Review Team (“IRTPWGCIRT”). I will be leading ICANN’s implementation of the GNSO’s IRTP C recommendations, and it is my pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you on this effort.

Dear IRT members, I'm very sorry for the late notice, but I need to reschedule our call that was scheduled for today. I will send around a doodle poll early next week to try to identify a good time. Thanks for understanding.

Dear team, In anticipation of today's IRT kick-off call, here is a brief, proposed agenda: - Roll call & Introductions - Background + update on implementation of recommendation #3 - Identification of the topics this group will need to work through - Review of draft project plan - Discussion of implementation timing considerations (proposed by James Bladel) - Any other topics I anticipate this might be a short call (less than the full hour, anyway). In case it's helpful, there is background information about the IRTP WG C policy recommendations posted at <http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-c> http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-c.
