[CPWG] Transfer Policy Review Team: Question about the 60-days lock

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

I’d recommend you read the SSAC papers on hijacks as well as some of the background materials for previous IRTP PDPs

A lot of the locks that exist at the moment are due to past experience ie. Domains being hijacked etc.,

Subject: [CPWG] Transfer Policy Review Team: Question about the 60-days lock

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Please use caution when opening attachments from unrecognised sources.
Dear all,

At the TPR WG Meeting on Nov 9, 2021, the 60-days locks were discussed. The present policy – and the majority of Registry Operators, have a 60-days transfer lock after the initial registration of a domain name AND a 60-days lock after a successful inter-registrar transfer.

Based on the discussion in the TPR WG, I would like to hear the CPWG opinion by asking the following:

1. Are we in favor of keeping the 60-days lock after the initial registration of a domain name?
2. Are we in favor of keeping the 60-days lock after a successful transfer of a domain name?
3. Could the above be optional?
4. Should the Registrant has the option to opt-out?

I did not have the time to discuss this with the At-Large TPR members and observers, hence will not ask for a poll. But hopefully CPWG can express their view at the CPWG call on Nov 10, 2021.

Regards,
Steinar Grøtterød
