IRTP-D effective date
by Caitlin Tubergen May 31, 2016

May 31, 2016

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 Registrar Relations and Contracts Manager ICANN One World. One Internet.

IRTP-D effective date
by Caitlin Tubergen March 14, 2016

March 14, 2016

Hi, Team. I hope this message finds you well. As you might be aware, the community (particularly contracted parties) have asked ICANN to try to coordinate the timing of the implementation of new policies and policy amendments along a predictable cycle. In general, we try to give contracted parties at least 6 months’ notice of any policy changes, and we try to bundle policy updates together whenever feasible. The updates to the Transfer Policy and Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy attributable to IRTP D must now be scheduled for implementation. The IRTP C policy amendments are due for implementation on 1 August 2016, so I’d like to propose that we bundle the IRTP D updates with the IRTP C updates. This will result in an implementation window of about 5 months for IRTP D, but we believe there is little development work registrars and registries will need to do to be ready to meet this deadline. As you may recall, the majority of implementation efforts related to IRTP D will fall on TDRP providers and ICANN. ICANN has reached out to TDRP providers to get their feedback regarding the effective date for the updates to the TDRP as a result of IRTP D. All have confirmed that they will be ready to implement the changes to the TDRP by 1 August 2016. Accordingly, we’d like to announce that the IRTP D policy changes will become effective on 1 August 2016. But if there are concerns or objections within this group, please let me know as soon as possible. As an aside, I also wanted to let you know that we have been working on educational materials and updates to the ICANN website to account for the IRTP-D related changes, and I plan to share draft updates with you in the next few weeks. Please let me know if you have any feedback. I hope to see many of you in Marrakech. Thank you. Best regards, Caitlin

Save the Date: IRTP-D Implementation Review Team Call Thursday 21 January 2016 2000UTC
by Caitlin Tubergen Jan. 7, 2016

Jan. 7, 2016

Hi, Team. Happy New Year! The public comment period for IRTP-D is now closed. The public comments received can be found here: http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-irtp-d-implementation-10nov15/. Two comments were received: the RySG fully supports the draft Transfer Policy, and the ALAC commented about the need for clear and accessible information on the transfer process and the dispute resolution process for non-compliant transfers per Recommendations 11 and 12. The next IRTP-D Implementation Review Team call will be held on Thursday, 21 January at 2000UTC. During the call, we will discuss changes to the ICANN website to account for Recommendations 11 and 12, pasted below for reference. Recommendation #11: The WG recommends that ICANN take the necessary steps to display information relevant to disputing non-compliant transfers prominently on its web site and assure the information is presented in a simple and clear manner and is easily accessible for registrants. Recommendation #12: The WG recommends that ICANN create and maintain a user-friendly, one-stop website containing all relevant information concerning disputed transfers and potential remedies to registrants. Such a website should be clearly accessible from or integrated into the ICANN Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities page. The call will be recorded for those who are unable to attend.

Re: [Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt] IRTP-D drafts going out for public comment
by Sara Bockey Nov. 25, 2015

Nov. 25, 2015

Hi All, I wanted to run a few thoughts by everyone for consideration/discussion. Regarding the transfer policy definitions, do you think further clarification is needed in the following areas? 1. Registrar of Record (1.11) – this is currently defined as “the Registrar who sponsors a domain name at the registry.” Since this does not make a connection the domain(s) in question, would it be beneficial to have it read “the current Registrar who sponsors the specific domain name(s) in question at the registry”? 2. Transfer Policy (1.15) - this currently refers to transfer of sponsorship only and does not reference/include Change of Registrant. Should this reference Change of Registrant as well? Additionally, for consistency, should 3.1 be revised to read “Registrar files a Complaint with a Dispute Resolution Provider” since “Request for Enforcement” appears to have been deleted/replaced in other instances? Here is a link to the document that is being referenced above, https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-registrar-tdrp-redline-10… Finally, and it may be that I’m just missing it, but do either IRTP-C or D allow for inter-registrant transfer disputes? Is it presumed that the new prescribed inter-registrant process will eliminate any disputes arising? Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I appreciate any clarification that can be provided. Thanks, Sara From: <gnso-impl-irtpd-rt-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-impl-irtpd-rt-bounces@icann.org>> on behalf of Caitlin Tubergen <caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@icann.org>> Date: Monday, November 9, 2015 at 6:31 PM To: "Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt@icann.org>" <Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt@icann.org>> Subject: [Gnso-impl-irtpd-rt] IRTP-D drafts going out for public comment Hi, Team.
