The GNSO Council is considering whether to initiate a Policy Development
Process to examine several more questions that have arisen under the
existing IRTP.  This would be the second of five PDP's recommended by an
earlier GNSO team.

The general issues are:

a) Whether a process for urgent return/resolution of a domain name should be
developed
b) Whether additional provisions for undoing inappropriate transfers are
needed, especially with regard to disputes between a Registrant and Admin
Contact
c) Whether special provisions are needed for a change of registrant when it
occurs near to the time of a change of registrar
d) Whether standards or best practices should be implemented regarding use
of Registrar Lock status
e) Whether, and if so, how best to clarify denial reason #7: A domain name
was already in 'lock' status provided that the Registrar provides a readily
accessible and reasonable means for the Registered Name Holder to remove the
lock status

And in a nice Powerpoint presentation by Marika Koenings of ICANN Staff:

A few BC members have been involved in the previous PDP and I believe we all
support this next PDP as well.

The BC Councilors expect to vote in favor of this PDP when the Council votes
in Sydney on June 24.  Please reply with any questions, concerns, or
comments.

Thanks,

Mike
