Preliminary Recommendation 2: Losing FOA is flawed because it does not protect the domain name registrant in the event that access to their domain name's authorization code was illegally obtained by unscrupulous party. This is synonymous to removing 2 Factor Authorization from the domain name security policy. There is no benefit to the domain name registrant for approving this recommendation, only removal of a proven security measure. ICAN should seek measures that enhance domain name registrant protection, not take away protection measures. Preliminary Recommendation 2: Losing FOA states: The working group recommends eliminating from the Transfer Policy the requirement that the Registrar of Record send a Losing Form of Authorization. This requirement is detailed in section I.A.3 of the Transfer Policy.

The authorization of Losing FOA should remain with the Registrant, not the Registrar. The Registrant is the person who has vested time and resources into developing the domain name into a public resource and utility; therefore, if abiding by the Policy of ICAN and the Registrar the ultimate decision to authorize a transfer should be their decision.

Question to the community: Should the Gaining Registrar’s IANA ID be provided by the Registry Operator to the Losing Registrar so that it may be included in the Notification of Transfer Completion sent by the Losing Registrar to the Registered Name Holder? Why or why not? Please explain.
