Dear All,

Welcome to the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part D Working Group! I understand from Marika that a number of participants are veteran IRTP WG experts and I am very much looking forward to working with you, as well as any IRTP novices of course (the latter being a group of which I am a member) . There is now a Wiki page for our Working Group that at this stage contains some background materials and a list of all members. The list will be updated as the work progresses. It can be found here https://community.icann.org/display/ITPIPDWG/Inter-Registrar+Transfer+Policy+%28IRTP%29+Part+D+Working+Group+Home.   

Scheduling weekly meetings

Unfortunately, the previous time slot of the IRTP Part C WG is no longer available. So, in order to facilitate finding a new time slot for the Group's weekly conference calls, please take a moment and fill in this doodle  http://doodle.com/vifdu4kn26q3fz7y. The time slots on the doodle should be displayed in local times for each of you. I would suggest that we schedule the first meeting the week starting Monday 25 February 2013; but I will get back to you once the doodle is completed by all and, at that time, I will also send out a proposed agenda for our first meeting.
