Action Item: Assignment 5 – Rec #34 – 47 (Group 2 ICANN-approved transfers + BTAPPA)       - Deadline: 11/25/2024

1. Welcome and Chair Updates

• • The Chair opened the meeting with brief comments, emphasizing the importance of reviewing public comments on recommendations in preparation for the upcoming ICANN 81 face-to-face session, as the session wants to discuss some of the more complex areas/comments.
  • Members were encouraged to bring up any specific concerns for discussion on the mailing list.

      2. Discussion of Recommendations 25-28

• • Recommendation 25: ICANN Org provided an overview of comments on recommendation 25, focusing on privacy proxy providers. A suggestion was made to remove references to proxy providers, recognizing that a change to a proxy provider represents a change in registrant data and should not be grouped with privacy providers.
  • Recommendation 26:

o    Comments included concerns about the removal of the Designated Agent definition.

o    Removing 26.2 was considered high impact by commenters.

o    A public comment was made about including a 30-day lock instead of removal of lock for “material changes” to protect domain ownership integrity.

o    Concerns were raised from commenters about the removal of confirmation from both prior and new registrant prior to processing the CORD.

o    The group discussed that updating data should not automatically trigger a transfer lock andnoted that changes to registrant data do not always imply a change of ownership.

• • Recommendation 27:

o    Further clarification was discussed regarding acceptable channels for  notifications (e.g., email, SMS) and that registrars should use the most secure, preferred communication method for notifications.

o    The working group discussed whether the word “immediately” should be included in Rec 27 instead of the “without undue delay”. WG members were not in favour of this proposal.

o    Another suggestion included an addition of a time period within which the registrant must take action (27.2). WG Members agreed that adding specific response times could introduce liability and may not resolve the underlying concerns about delayed registrant awareness

o    WG member suggested the time period of action should be considered as a separate thing and be taken out of 27.2.

o    Comments to 27.3 included to send notifiations to all contact available and to document and make available all notifications to ICANN compliance when requested. Some WG members considered this as sensible addition and some added to make keep flexibility in the channels notifications are sent.

o    Comments to 27.4 included to change “may” to “must” send the CORD notification to the RNHs new email address. However, WG members suggested to keep the “may”.
