Feb. 5, 2025

Dear TPR Working Group Members, This message is to notify you of the closing of the Consensus Call process on the Transfer Policy Review Final Report. Given that there is no disagreement from the Working Group with the proposed consensus designations by the leadership team, support staff has incorporated the designations into the Final Report. To confirm, all of the policy recommendations received a “full consensus” designation. Please find the Final Report attached. This is a huge milestone that involved multiple years of volunteer work, hundreds of calls, and a lot of creative thinking and compromising for all involved. Congratulations to all of you on achieving a major milestone, and thank you again for all of your hard work! Best regards, Roger Carney

by Feodora Hamza Jan. 29, 2025

Jan. 29, 2025

Dear TPR WG members, Congratulations on the final report. Please find below the notes and action items from this week’s meeting. The consensus call is scheduled for Friday, 31 January 2025 at 23:59 UTC. Kind regards, Feodora on behalf of the TPR WG Support Team 2025-01-28 Transfer Policy Review PDP WG Call<https://community.icann.org/display/TPRPDP/2025-01-28+Transfer+Policy+Revie…> Action Items: Consensus Call and Final Report WG Members are kindly asked to provide final edits deadline: Friday, January 31, 2025. * What can still be changed? * Grammar, formatting, and minor clarifications. * No substantive edits to recommendations. * Final Report Submission: Next week to the GNSO Council. Link to TPR Final Report Review Tables: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Eoei5W6VShD-JbbD9SS2ZyZe8cT-mROpjGwxAQ… 1. Welcome and Chair Updates · WG Chair thanked the working group members for their dedication over the years in reviewing and refining the Transfer Policy. · Consensus Call Review: · WG Chair reminded the group that a consensus call was sent out last week. · The consensus call remains open through Friday and will close at the end of the day Friday. · The final report will be submitted to the GNSO Council next week. 1. Final Report updates (TBD) · ICANN Org confirmed that previously reviewed updates had been highlighted in the last meeting. · No objections were raised regarding prior updates. · The meeting proceeded with reviewing RySG comments and document cleanup items suggested by Rick Wilhelm. 2.1. Specific Change Proposals · Line 284 – Clarification of "Post Creation Lock" Period · Proposal: Replace “a 60-day post creation lock (or period other than 30 days)” with “such a period.” · Reasoning: * 60-day post-creation locks vary among registries (e.g., 45-day, 75-day). * The existing phrase is redundant. · Outcome: Accepted. · Line 552 – Clarification on Setting TAC to Null * Proposal: Reference RFC 9154, Sections 4.4 and 5.2 for clarity. * Reasoning: * The term "resetting the tag to null" is overly technical. * The RFC contains clearer, standardized definitions. * Outcome: Accepted. · Line 747 – Reference to ICANN Data Retention Requirements * Proposal: Replace “must provide such records to ICANN upon reasonable notice” with “is responsible for its own compliance requirements contained therein, as they may change from time to time.” * Reasoning: * Specific data retention rules may change in the future. * Aims to ensure policy flexibility. * Outcome: Accepted. · Lines 936–939 – Redundancy Between Sections 18.1 and 18.2 * Proposal: Remove Section 18.2 as it is redundant. * Discussion: * 18.1: Requires registrars to demonstrate receipt of a request. * 18.2: States that requests must come from the registered name holder. * It was discussed that 18.1 already implies 18.2. * WG members raised concerns about ensuring requests are specific and not bulk portfolio-wide. * ICANN Org suggested adding further language in 18.1 stating that the request must be domain-specific. * Outcome: * 18.2 was removed. * Add footnote to 18.1 to mention domain-specific requests from the registered name holder. · Line 968 – Standardizing 720h (30-day) Transfer Restrictions * Proposal: Align Rec. 18 with Rec. 3 by explicitly stating that all transfer restrictions must be standardized at 720 hours (30 days). * Reasoning: * Rec. 3 (Initial Registration Locks) already mandates a standard 30-day period. * Rec. 18 should mirror Rec. 3 to avoid inconsistencies. * Outcome: Accepted. · Other Grammatical and Formatting Adjustments * Several minor grammatical improvements were noted. * Outcome: ICANN Org to implement editorial corrections. 1. Consensus Call check-in · Final edits deadline: Friday, January 31, 2025. · What can still be changed? * Grammar, formatting, and minor clarifications. * No substantive edits to recommendations. · Final Report Submission: Next week to the ICANN Council. 1.
