[GNSO-TPR] A few issues

[farzaneh badii]

Thanks Emily. So they decided not to do any work because we didn’t even
address these two issues. The issue of sanctions, I understand it might be
out of mandate but the transfer fee is something ALAC and NCSG brought up
and it should have been addressed by this group, even if it was dismissing
it.

I also think other than ICANN compliance, those at ICANN involved with
registrants rights and responsibilities should have been involved with this
group.

I am going to raise this with the GNSO later but we keep doing policy work
during meetings. Some of us don’t do policy at ICANN as our day job. We
have other commitments. Notes are great but we still miss the boat if we
can’t attend the meetings. I would like to see a more hybrid approach where
we can actually make policy through written conversations on mailing lists
so that we get to reply. This is very important especially for the
registrants rights and bringing more diverse points of views.
