Dear Pre-IRT,
IPT has drafted the Interim Registration Data Policy for gTLDs, which is expected to go into effect when the Temporary Specification expires on 20 May 2019 here in the pre-IRT team
drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBGjh86oxCt5XHV0uxBXg1P6smomKjBC2Fe5yb7hmck/edit#
The draft Interim Policy incorporates many of the suggestions from the pre-IRT and, previously, by the EPDP Team in Kobe. The draft Interim Policy is, essentially, a timeline that
points to applicable requirements in other documents rather than a description of substantive requirements. This is drafted as a Policy, rather than a notice or advisory, to ensure that the applicable requirements are clearly identified in a formal document
that is binding on contracted parties pursuant to their relevant agreements with ICANN org.
We did not incorporate the language that was suggested that “Failure to respond within 30 days of this notice shall be considered acceptance of the terms herein will be considered
acceptance,” for a variety of reasons, including that contracted parties are required to follow this recommended carryover of the Temp Spec as a matter of Policy-there is not an option to reject the requirements.
We believe this is a straightforward implementation of Recommendation 28 and aligned with the recommendation.
Please let us know if you note any inconsistency with the recommendation in the EPDP Phase 1 final report.
