Mike Due to my increased workload within the Registrar SG, EWG and my dayjob I probably won't be playing a very active role in this WG, though I will be keeping an eye on it.

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.
