Consent Agenda

Motion - Approval of a Project Change Request (PCR) to Update Charter Topics Considered in Phase 1 of the Transfer Policy Review (TPR) Policy Development Process (PDP)

Submitted by: Greg DiBiase

Seconded by: Maxim Alzoba

Whereas,
1.   On 18 February 2021, the GNSO Council voted [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current*202102__;Iw!!PtGJab4!vgz5igx-LookQcwA9Q-9WkMa3WGWntKTtVpJ3p8b743nET6CNmbXz9xV4yxeOQaCRczKWWTHqyxO$> to initiate a PDP to review the Transfer Policy.
2.   On 24 March 2021, the GNSO Council approved [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current*202103__;Iw!!PtGJab4!vgz5igx-LookQcwA9Q-9WkMa3WGWntKTtVpJ3p8b743nET6CNmbXz9xV4yxeOQaCRczKWRtcgV-S$> the PDP Working Group’s charter.
3.   The Working Group began meeting in May 2021 and has made substantial progress on its Phase 1a deliberations.
4.   In the course of considering the Phase 1 charter topics, the Working Group determined that it would be beneficial to examine all elements of the security model for domain name transfers in a holistic manner as part of its Phase 1 deliberations, but that the topic of NACK (rejection of transfer request) of an unauthorized transfer is currently scheduled for Phase 2.
5.   The Working Group leadership team does not foresee that adding NACK to the Phase 1a scope will impact its current timeline to deliver the Phase 1a Initial Report by June 2022.
6.   The Working Group leadership team submitted a Project Change Request outlining the full rationale for updating the charter to move this charter topic to Phase 1a.

Resolved,
1.   The GNSO Council approves this Project Change Request.
2.   The GNSO Council instructs policy support staff to update the TPR charter accordingly and post the updated charter on the GNSO’s website and Working Group wiki.
