adopted in 2004 to provide a straightforward procedure for
domain name holders to transfer domain names between
registrars. An overall review of this policy identified
areas that require clarification or improvement. At its
meeting on 17 January 2013, the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO) Council passed a resolution chartering a
Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (WG) to
address the topic of Inter-Registrar Transfer Policies
(IRTP) Part D. Because the initial review identified a wide
range of issues related to transferring domain names, the
issues have been categorized into subsets. This Working
Group will tackle the issues referred to as “Part D”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
