[CPWG] Communication to ICANN GC

[Theo Geurts]

Hey all, 

To be clear, the WG has not decided on anything. 
We got a couple of suggestions and prices from non ICANN policies. 

Primarily we focus on the transfer of sponsorship. BTAPPA from Verisign being around for ages is one example. 
SIDN and other ccTLDs have similar services. 

I personally do not think there is a magic number here, these services all cost money and depending on the registry those could be lower and higher than others depending on automation and manual labor involved. 
A transfer of ownership at a registrar level is basically a database change at the registry level, which involves some coding from developers. Again the magic number is hard to guess as we are dealing with many registries, different development costs, different backends, and so on. 

What the WG is not trying to do is wade ICANN into some discussion about pricing, I think most WG members are aware of some very strict rules and laws. 

Good reading on the list though, there is certainly some food for thought there for the WG in the next sessions. 

Thanks, 
Theo

But, as already pointed out in this conversation, it is not in the interests of end users that pricing be left entirely to the whim of those selling domain names.
