The purpose of this advisory is to assist ICANN-accredited registrars 
and domain-name registrants in understanding how the Inter-Registrar 
Transfer Policy requirements apply in certain common situations , and to 
ensure a consistent understanding of the current policy requirements. 
The advisory is based on issues identified by a working group consisting 
of both registry and registrar representatives in the process of 
reviewing the policy for effectiveness. As part of the review the group 
also referred a list of issues to the GNSO for further consideration 
(see http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/Transfer-Policy-Issues-23aug07.pdf).
