Kind regards, Nathalie Adobe Connect chat transcript for Monday 22 September 2014: Lars Hoffmann:Welcome to the IRTP Part D Working Group Meeting - 22 September 2014 Graeme Bunton:Aiiiieeeeeeee! Nathalie Peregrine:And Marika Konings is also on the call Nathalie Peregrine:Arthur Zonnenberg and Kristine Dorrain have also joined the call Kristine Dorrain-NAF:the acronymn for Dispute Resolution Provider would be DRP, not DPR. :) Lars Hoffmann:how about: adding - "in line with the UDRP". (and strike the blue line) Berry Cobb:So, then in what context does ICANN Compliance ever monitor DRPs? If none, then is this really going to be a "Consensus Policy"? Berry Cobb:I'm just looking at this from the angle of how this is implemented and monitored for compliance. Nathalie Peregrine:Angie Graves is on the phone line Kristine Dorrain-NAF:I like that because if the UDRP review changes the practice, then this will stay compliant Lars Hoffmann:how about this: Outcomes of all rulings by Dispute Resolution Providers (DRP) should be published on Providers’ website, except in exceptional cases – in keeping with practices currently employed in the UDRP. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:ICANN doesn't not monitor specific cases. Berry Cobb:I'm not able to talk. Sorry Berry Cobb:k, We can take this up in the IRT...... Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Yes, there has been some call for more Provider oversight, and that's fine if there are systematic issues, but I don't think ICANN is planning to put itself into the role of case-by-case Appeal board. I could be wrong, I suppose. ) Lars Hoffmann:just to clarify the language: Lars Hoffmann:• The number of incidents or communications related to changes of registrants being disputed Arthur Zonnenberg:that would be incomplete. Lars Hoffmann:• The number of incidents or communications related to disputes involving a change of registrant Lars Hoffmann:• The number of incidents or communications related to complaints or disputes involving a change of registrant Arthur Zonnenberg:if that includes abandonement its ok Arthur Zonnenberg:ie the end user giving up because policy too complicated or changed their mind Berry Cobb:Consistent and immediate can be removed. Berry Cobb:Jsut the main concern here is that what happens if we DONT get this data? There is nothing that forces CPs to provide it. Lars Hoffmann:To facilitate the gathering of relevant data, the Implementation Review Team should closely liaise with ICANN Staff to assure prompt access to necessary data. Arthur Zonnenberg:berry then we did our best to improve things. if stakeholders refuse they dont help the improving. Arthur Zonnenberg:we cant force them to Berry Cobb:And of course, Thank You James for the WG leadership! Barbara Knight:Thanks all. It has been a pleasure working with you all. Special shout out to James and the ICANN staff for the leadership and guidance. Bob Mountain:Thanks James, to use a Bladelism great job "bringing this in for a landing"! Graeme Bunton:Thanks kindly James Bladel:Thanks!

Re: [gnso-irtpd] RE: For your (final?) review
by James M. Bladel Sept. 22, 2014

Sept. 22, 2014

Thanks, Barbara. I'm curious: What would be involved if the RySG does not "fully support" a recommendation, due to a single member's disagreement? How would this be reflected in our report? Does the RySG only support (and vote on council) if their membership is unanimous? Thanks- J. From: "Knight, Barbara" <BKnight(a)verisign.com<mailto:BKnight@verisign.com>> Date: Friday, September 19, 2014 at 16:28 To: Lars Hoffmann <lars.hoffmann(a)icann.org<mailto:lars.hoffmann@icann.org>>, "gnso-irtpd(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-irtpd@icann.org>" <gnso-irtpd(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-irtpd@icann.org>> Subject: [gnso-irtpd] RE: For your (final?) review Lars, Thank you for sending the updated report. I circulated a previous version of the report to the RySG and have received some limited feedback this week. Based on the feedback received, there are two recommendations for which the RySG is unable to voice full support at this time. The first is Recommendation #15 - "As a guidance to future policy development processes, this Working Group recommends that policy specific sanctions be avoided wherever possible." One member of the RySG provided feedback that since there are more sanctions available now, that it may make sense for the policy-making effort to link specific violations to specific sanctions rather than transfering this responsibility to ICANN staff. The second is Recommendation #5 - "The WG recommends that the statute of limitation to launch a TDRP be extended from current 6 months to 12 months from the initial transfer." This item is still under discussion. I will let the WG know as soon as possible whether or not the concerns raised with regard to this recommendation have been resolved or if it will be necessary to note that the RySG is unable to fully support this recommendation as well.

Accordingly, ‘TDRP action’ and ‘URS action’ are to be added to the second bullet point of the list of denial reasons in the IRTP (Section 3); the TDRP should be amended acordingly The TDRP as well as guidelines to registrars, registries and third party dispute providers should be modified accordingly. The WG notes that the locking should be executed in the way that the UDRP prescribes – once that the UDRP locking process is implemented. Barbara Knight:To the extent that the locking mechanism includes a servertransfer prohibited status is added, It will definitely stop domain name hopping. Avri Doria:is it an expectation or a hope.
