Hi All,
I hope everyone had a good Easter/Passover weekend. I wanted to comment a bit on the WG Preliminary Conclusion.  Proposed edits in underlined italics below:
 

The WG recommends that [delete: any] all rights, responsibilities and obligations for registrants as well as privacy/proxy providers would need to be clearly protected and communicated in the proxy/privacy registration agreement, including any specific requirements applying to transfers and renewals. However, further details as to what minimum requirements for such rights, responsibilities and obligations may be will need to be further discussed by the WG following its review of other charter questions.

 

Specifically, in relation to transfers and renewals, the WG noted the common practice[DB1]  of terminating privacy/proxy protection as part of the transfer process and recommends that this be clearly disclosed to registrants and, to the extent possible, avoided by P/P providers in the transfer process. The WG agreed that notification and other issues arising from the implementation of renewal and transfer policies merited further discussion, possibly as part of its deliberations over Relay procedures and possibly in other areas of deliberations, e.g., a special transfer section to be created in light of the interest in this issue, and the complicated technical details of the transfer policy and its implementation.

Best,
Kathy

 [DB1]Is the issue termination in a formal sense or “suspension” for the period needed for the transfer? Is this a practice or an inevitable part of the process?

Dear WG members,

The proposed agenda for the next meeting is as follows:
  1. Roll Call/SOI Update
  2. Continue discussion of template for Category B Question 3 (including "side questions" pertaining to renewals and transfers)
  3. (if time permits) Begin deliberations on template for Category C Question 1 
  4. Next Steps/Next Meeting

Please note that the WG wiki page has been updated with the latest draft templates as well as the “side questions” on renewals and transfers (also included in the prior message, below). In addition, we have added links to the ERRP and IRTP, and to the GNSO’s working pages on the latter:  https://community.icann.org/x/kzvRAg

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: Updated Cat B Question 3 Template for further discussion and review

Dear all,

Attached is a revised version of the draft template for Category B Question 3, including a comment/question from our WG Chair. The Chairs expect next week's discussion (22 April) to focus largely on further discussions regarding this question and template, including the additional questions relating specifically to renewals and transfers as posted to the Notes pod in the Adobe Connect room from the meeting earlier this week.

For your convenience, here are the questions:
  1. Per the ERRP, 'registrars must notify the registered name holder of the expiration at least two times'. Should there be a requirement for the P/P provider to pass these notices on to the P/P customer? 
  2. Per the ERRP, 'if a registration is not renewed by the RAE or deleted by the registrar, within five days after the expiration of the registration, the registrar must transmit at least one additional expiration notice to the RAE that includes instructions for renewing the registration'. Should there be a requirement for the P/P provider to pass these notices on to the P/P customer?
  3. Per the ERRP, 'beginning at the time of expiration and through the DNS resolution interruption period described in paragraphs 2.2.2 and 2.2.3, the RAE must be permitted by the registrar to renew the expired registration'. What if the underlying customer wants to renew the registration? Idem for restoration during the Redemption Grace Period.
  4. In relation to the IRTP, should there be any restrictions concerning transfers of P/P registrations? (e.g. some of the terms and conditions required for the P/P services to be removed during the transfer process). Depending on the response to this question, all communications in the IRTP currently go via the transfer contact (Registered Name Holder / Admin Contact). Should there be any requirements for this information to also be communicated to the P/P customer? What happens if there is a disagreement relating to the transfer between the P/P provider and the P/P customer?
If it will help facilitate WG deliberations on Tuesday, please feel free to send initial thoughts and responses to this mailing list prior to the next call.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
