TPR WG Action Item: CORD Recommendations Worksheet
by Christian Wheeler April 5, 2024

April 5, 2024

Dear WG Members, We have reached an important point in our work where we need feedback from all working group members. We are nearing completion of our Group 1(b) Change of Registrant Data recommendations, and we will be finalizing them over the next few weeks. In short, if you are unable to participate over the next 2-3 weeks, please ensure your alternate(s) are available to participate on your behalf so that all representative groups share their perspectives on this important topic. The format under which we will be gathering feedback should be familiar to many of you. Support Staff has compiled the draft preliminary recommendations in this Group 1(b) Recommendations for Initial Report worksheet<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…>. The yellow highlighted text denotes text that Support Staff has edited based on feedback from the last meeting. By Tuesday, 9 April, we ask that all Working Group members: 1. Please review the draft preliminary recommendations<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…> in detail. 2. Using the tables provided (starting on p.9 of the worksheet<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…>), please identify any recommendations you believe should be changed. The tables contemplate levels of support (or lack of support): * Cannot live with the recommendation as written - this means that, unless significantly altered, your group cannot live with the text being included in the Initial Report * Could live with, but would prefer a change * Grammatical/typographical edits * Support recommendation as written 1. If you do not agree with the current text or believe edits are necessary, please identify the category (can’t live with, could live with but prefer edited text, or grammatical change), and propose alternate text. 2. If you can support the recommendation as written, please also affirmatively indicate your support in the green table. 3. Please provide your feedback by group, rather than in an individual capacity. We will be using the next 2-3 weeks to go over proposed updated text (if any). We ask all groups to review the recommendations to ensure you are comfortable with the proposed text for purposes of inclusion in the Initial Report. While we do plan to have additional time to review the comprehensive report as a whole (including Group 1(a) and Group 2), the time to raise fundamental issues with the Group 1(b) text is now. Thank you for your attention and participation. Best regards, Caitlin, Berry, Julie, Feodora, and Christian

Updates made as a result of last week's discussion * Rec.3.4 has new text<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…>: “Unless the RNH previously opted out of receiving CORD notifications (…)” “c. the Registrary MAY additionally send the CORD notificiation to the RNH via SMS or other secure messaging system. * Rec 3.4. and 3.3.<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…> seem to be contradictory in terms of methods of communication.

Registrars have some flexibility to determine what a typographical correction is. Examples of typographical corrections could include: Changing the Registrant Name field from oJhn Smith to John Smith. Changing the Registrant Name field from Jane Kgan to Jane Kang.

Notification represent a key part of the security principle of transfers. * Members suggested that opting out from notifications might create unexpected security risks. * Members added that in some circumstances certain business models might need opt out options from notifications. * Group 1a) Rec.17:<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_lZLOmNQJKqAsAqxHTv8W5TQeRIm58YvS4vCPIw…> Members pointed out that 30 day log is critical for the security profile.

Clarification was made regarding the use of two colors of highlights in the presentation, where yellow indicated changes to the draft language, and blue highlighted points for discussion. 2. Preliminary recommendation 1.1 was updated to clarify changes to registrant data, particularly concerning email addresses. 3. Examples were sought to understand non-material changes to email addresses. 4. Recommendation 3.4 sparked considerable discussion during the session, particularly regarding opt-out options and notification methods. 5. Concerns were raised about potential contradictions between recommendations 3.3 and 3.4 regarding notification methods. 6. Group consensus leaned towards including SMS and other secure communication methods as an option for notifications alongside email. 7. There was uncertainty regarding the inclusion of an opt-out option and its implications. 8. Discussion ensued on whether to make the opt-out option mandatory or optional for registrars, with consideration for guardrails. 9. Questions arose regarding notifications to new email addresses following an update, prompting further deliberation. 10. The current consensus favored retaining the opt-out option as optional for registrars. 11. Recommendation 3.7 was discussed regarding the consolidation of notifications and verification requests. 12. There was a proposal to change recommendation 4 from "must" to "may" regarding opt-out provisions. 2b.

Established Relationships (time permitting) * Red-lined Recommendation 17 from Group One was discussed, particularly focusing on established relationships. * Proposed revisions to Recommendation 17 aimed to provide flexibility for registrars while addressing security concerns. * Concerns were raised regarding the lack of a clear definition for established relationships and the potential risks associated with them. * Staff emphasized the need for strong rationale to justify lessening the 30-day transfer restriction. 3. Any Other Business (AOB) * No additional topics were raised.
