Dear WG members, At the close of the discussions this morning, here is a summary of (1) the ³takeaways² from the Transfer Issues discussion; and (2) the initial draft summary/recommendation on the remaining questions regarding Relay: Transfer Issues: - Generally, the WG is not opposed to a mechanism that would allow for the slowing down of domain name transfers - The WG¹s final recommendations on Reveal may impact the outcome of this issue; it was therefore agreed that the WG may need to come back to this topic and finalize its recommendations only after the Reveal discussions are complete Relay: - Draft language: "A P/P service provider should be obliged to forward a hard copy (or other alternative form of) notice upon becoming aware that the original form of electronic communication was undeliverable only when there has been a certain minimum number of "hard bounces" within a certain specified time frame; the provider should have the ability to select the most appropriate means of forwarding (including to account for issues of cost) [and to charge a reasonable fee].² We will reconvene at 1400 hrs, LA time, for the Reveal discussion and other topics on our agenda. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong@icann.org
