ICANN has another public comment period regarding transfer policy. The deadline to submit comments is Monday September 30, 2024 at 23:59 UTC time.
My company’s submission can be read here. I focused on the lack of consideration of a “push” system of transfers, and lack of overall consideration of registrants’ input.
This isn’t the first time that ICANN has asked for input on transfer policy. My company submitted substantial comments in 2022 as well, which the captured working group, dominated by registrars, has not incorporated into its latest set of recommendations.
As this is likely the final opportunity to impact the working group’s final recommendations before they’re sent to the GNSO Council (despite being misleadingly labelled as an “Inital Report“, which I called out in my latest comments), now is the time to make a submission on this important topic which affects registrants.
Hopefully my company’s submission of today, and also from 2022, will help stimulate your own thinking, before you submit your own comments.
