<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks, Darcy, for raising this motion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
Councilors – as we discussed in Hyderabad, this request is coming from the Registrar Stakeholder Group, regarding the implementation of a very narrow element of IRTP-C. ICANN GDD Staff has indicated that they do not have the ability to agree to this request,
absent a request from the GNSO Council and direction by the ICANN Board.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Question for the Council: are there any questions or concerns on this topic, or is this relatively non-controversial? If the latter, then I would ask that we consider the short time frame before the Board’s
next meeting (8 DEC) and ask if we can proceed without a formal motion and submit the letter.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Candara">Attached is the Motion – GNSO Council Communication to ICANN Board Regarding Transfer Policy along with a proposed draft communication. You will recall from our meetings in Hyderabad that
ICANN GDD staff advised us that Council would need to submit this issue to the Board for consideration and further direction to ICANN staff. This motion and the draft communication were prepared based on that advice, and I’d appreciate this being heard at
our December 1 meeting.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
