Hi, Team.
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to give you an update on the implementation timing of IRTP-D.
Prior to ICANN55 in Marrakech, I sent out a message to see if anyone objected to 1 August 2016 as the effective date for the changes to the TDRP and Transfer Policy. The 1 August date was proposed because 1 August was the effective date for changes to the Transfer Policy as a result of IRTP-C.
To give you an update: we received community feedback in Marrakech regarding the IRTP-C changes and have been working with the IRTP-C IRT on those changes. The updated Transfer Policy, which will include the updated changes from IRTP-C and IRTP-D, will be announced shortly with an effective date of 1 December 2016. The updated TDRP will also be effective 1 December 2016. This will give all contracted parties the standard six-month notice period.
I would like to thank everyone on the team for your work on this implementation.
Please let me know me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Caitlin Tubergen
