An overall review of this policy identified areas that require clarification or improvement. At its meeting of 22 September 2011, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council passed a resolution chartering a Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (WG) to address the topic of Inter-Registrar Transfer Policies (IRTP) Part C. Because the initial review identified a wide range of issues related to transferring domain names, the issues have been categorized into subsets. This Working Group will tackle the issues referred to as “Part C”.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria, serif; "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span lang="EN-US">Sent on behalf of the GNSO Chair, Stéphane van Gelder</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; ">Glen de Saint Géry<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; ">GNSO Secretariat<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><a href="mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org</a><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><a href="http://gnso.icann.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://gnso.icann.org</a><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Consolas; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: SimSun, serif; "><br clear="all"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: SimSun, serif; "><hr size="1" width="33%" align="left"></span></div></div></div><div><br clear="all"><hr align="left" size="1" width="33%"><div id="ftn1"><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria, serif; "><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title="" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super; "><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">[1]</span></span></a><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>See the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/issue-report-irtp-c-29aug11-en.pdf" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; ">Final Issue Report on the IRTP Part C</span></a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for further details on each of these issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div></div></span></blockquote></div><br><div>
