Topic for 4 September call

GNSO-TPR WG recommendations to Change of Registrant Data (Rec #25-28)

Steinar's recommendation is in favor of eliminating Section II from the Transfer Policy; instead, the working group recommends that a standalone “Change of Registrant Data” policy MUST be established, existing outside of the revised Transfer Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the working group is not recommending a new PDP to establish this standalone policy; instead, the working group is recommending the Change of Registrant Data Policy be created as part of the implementation of these policy recommendations.
