<span lang="EN-US">The working group began meeting in May 2021 and has made substantial progress, including publication of an Initial Report on Phase 1(a) topics, review of public comments on the Phase 1(a) Initial Report, and preliminary deliberations on Phase
1(b) topics.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-US">In the course of considering the Phase 1 charter questions, the working group identified dependencies between charter topics that require the working group to make progress on certain Phase 2 topics (Transfer Emergency Action Contact (TEAC),
reversal of a transfer, and Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy (TDRP)) before Phase 1 deliberations on inter-registrar and inter-registrant transfers can be completed.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5">
<span lang="EN-US">The working group has determined that the best path forward is to consolidate its work into a single phase, which will allow the working group to consider all topics in the charter iteratively. This approach will result in delivery of a second
Initial Report covering all topics in the charter and a single Final Report.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5">
