Dear WG members,
At the close of the discussions this morning, here is a summary of (1) the “takeaways” 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 WG’s 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].”
We will reconvene at 1400 hrs, LA time, for the Reveal discussion and other topics on our agenda.
