[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] PP transfer issue

Tue Jan 26 15:56:46 UTC 2016

Dear WG members,

Here is the final language of the relevant recommendations, as agreed by the WG and approved by the GNSO Council at their meeting last week.

First, in relation to the mandatory requirement for P/P providers to publish and include certain provisions in their Terms of Service:
“[P/P providers must publish] the specific grounds upon which a customer’s details may be Disclosed or Published or service suspended or terminated, including Publication in the event of a customer’s initiation of a transfer of the underlying domain name16. In making this recommendation, the WG noted the changes to be introduced to the Inter Registrar Transfer Policy (“IRTP”) in 2016, where following a Change of Registrant a registrar is required to impose a 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock.”

Also, in relation to the general principles that the WG agreed should guide implementation of the de-accreditation process:

“Where a Change of Registrant (as defined under the IRTP) takes place during the process of de-accreditation of a proxy service provider, a registrar should lift the mandatory 60-day lock at the express request of the beneficial user, provided the registrar has also been notified of the de-accreditation of the proxy service provider” (with a footnote noting that under the changes to IRTP-Ca registrar would have the discretion to lift the lock at the beneficial user’s request, and no specific exceptions were created at the time the policy was reviewed.)

Following from the GNSO Council’s approval of the WG’s Final Report and recommendations, staff is currently preparing a Recommendations Report for the Council’s approval that will, following approval, be forwarded to the Board along with the full Final Report for the Board’s review and action. Prior to the Board decision, a public comment forum will also be opened, in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws’ requirement of transparency, to allow the public a reasonable opportunity to comment on these PDP recommendations.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

It had been my understanding that we had agreed that replacing the privacy details with the underlying details does not constitute a material change when the whois privacy service provider and the registrar are affiliated as the actual registrant deta would not have changed, only what is on display. As the provision in the IRTP-C was intended to protect registrants against unwanted transfers, the removal of the privacy function would not change anything for the registrant.

So Option 2 seems most sensible and it resembles the discussions in both WGs most closely, IIRC, provided that the exception only applies to the customers of registrar-affiliated services. For services not affiliated, the registrar never had the original data, so for the registrar it would be a material change, not the mere removal of a privacy veil.

Best,

Volker
