<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks, Sarah for preparing the below revised straw-man proposal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a couple questions in order to gain a better understanding and to explore the issues presented:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l6 level1 lfo7">In the proposed Step 3, it states:
<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">When the RNH receives the TAC,
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">they provide it to the gaining Rr</span> and the transfer is completed<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">The proposal appears to envision a RNH providing the TAC directly to the gaining
<i>registrar</i>, rather than providing it to the gaining<i> registrant</i>. Is this what you had intended? And if so, that would seem to provide a possible solution to the concern I express in latter portion of my second question, below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo7"><span lang="EN-CA">Under the status quo, I understand that a registrant would have the ability to see which registrar has made the transfer request via the Losing FOA, whereas under the
proposed Straw Man, a registrant would not be able to see this and therefore, after providing the TAC to the gaining registrant (i.e. the transferee), the TAC could in theory somehow be stolen by a third party and used at an unintended and foreign registrar
(though I recognize that this would generally be a very rare instance and would likely involve greater security issues than we are trying to address via the Transfer Policy Itself).
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">If this is the case, then my question is, ‘what benefit does the new proposed TAC request / refusal approach have over the current approach, if the proposed new approach
introduces a possible (even if generally unlikely) vulnerability into the process (as referenced above)?’
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">What I am trying to better understand here, is
<i>although the new proposal rather elegantly provides the crucial ability of a registrant to stop a transfer</i> (at the TAC stage, instead of at the transfer stage, per se), it may not be so much of an incremental improvement overall, that it justifies even
an arguably minimal risk of an TAC being deployed by an unauthorized third party at an unintended registrar with no notice to the registrant.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">The previous and current approach which employs the FOA, does not have this issue, so I am thinking there should be a very clear benefit to abandoning the FOA in
favor of this approach, and I am genuinely uncertain what it is.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">That being said, if as per my remarks above at #1, there is a procedure envisioned for the registrant (transferor) directly inputting the TAC into the losing registrar,
then that could possibly route around this potential issue, since the registrant would maintain constant control of the TAC and would be able to deploy it at the intended registrar. Of course, there would need to be a system available at the gaining registrar
for enabling a non-account holder to input the TAC for the benefit of the gaining registrar’s account holder, and this would involve a correlation between the TAC and for example, the prospective new registrant’s recorded email address.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">One clarification I would add is that in Step 1, where you say the RNH unlocks the domain, this means removing all registrar locks. It does not include removing registry locks, since they may be associated with
Registry Lock Services and those are explicitly out of scope for this PDP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A registry has a responsibility to resolve its registry locks at some time beginning with the receipt of a valid TAC and ending upon the actual transfer of the domain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

can call it the “TAC ACK” process. Prior to our public comment review, the WG seemed aligned on the decision to drop the Losing FOA; we must certainly address all the concerns raised in the public comments, and I think we can do that while also maintaining
our goal of streamlining the transfer process by further exploring the TAC ACK option. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

and (b) the fast-undo process we are committed to creating in the next phase of this WG would specifically address these issues and could certainly include reverting DNS if it was changed <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5;vertical-align:baseline">

since we’re already making changes to the transfer process as a whole. Now is exactly the time to do this! <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

proposal would address the entirely valid concerns about security and registrant agency, while also providing noticeable improvement for registrants who have repeatedly and for quite some time requested a faster transfer process. I hope we can discuss this
proposal alongside the Losing FOA strawman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
