Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - León, Lucía
16 August 2022

Submission Summary:

There are several improvements in order maximize the principles of data minimisation and privacy by design. Considerations about denying reasons must be taken into account, maybe extending the deadline.

I support Preliminary Recommendations 1-15 as written (with an observation for PR 13, following RySG criteria).


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Dynadot
16 August 2022

Submission Summary:

Preliminary Recommendations 16 & 17 seek to impose new ICANN restrictions on RNHs’ rights to transfer domain names subsequent to initial registrations and subsequent to inter-registrar transfers.

 

Dynadot opposes the introduction of any new restrictions on registrants’ rights to transfer domain names to competing registrars. Legislators across the world are proposing laws aimed at discouraging market practices that restri...

Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - NCSG
15 August 2022

Submission Summary:

Transfer policies can have grave consequences for noncommercial registrants rights. We are pleased to see that some of those problems have been handled in phase one. 

We agree that the previous policies that needed the registrars access to sensitive private information of domain name registrants are not legally viable anymore. Therefore we agree with and applaud the working group for not pursuing specific methods for coming up with ...


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Busca, Philip
15 August 2022

Submission Summary:

Someone wrote on NP forum about 2FA security, what if ones wife have access to the mobile phone and can access the registrant account with 2FA after receiving the code through SMS or application, well it's your fault that you have such wife or who ever is around you, not the registrar, humans will find ways to steal from you it's your responsibility, you must make sure to keep it secret if you have valuable domain assets. So in the end it's on...


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Com Laude
15 August 2022

Submission Summary:

We generally support the recommendations developed by the WG. We propose the following amendments to reasons why registrars must deny transfers:

I.A.3.8.6 The Registrar of Record has credible evidence of fraud

I.A.3.8.7 the Registrar has knowledge of credible evidence of the domain currently being used for malware, phishing, pharming, or command & control botnets. 


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Leap of Faith Financial Services Inc.
15 August 2022

Submission Summary:

There is a lot wrong with this working group's report, too long to summarize briefly. Read the entire 60 pages to see our full analysis.

We wish to emphasize, though, that the TAC is very dangerous. It should be eliminated, by adopting our counterproposal in Section E (generate a transaction ID at the gaining registrar, to input at the losing registrar). This would be a huge improvement. 

Also, the Losing FOA needs to be ...

Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Rantsetse, Keolebogile
09 August 2022

Submission Summary:

I commend the Transfer Policy working group for their thoughtfulness in recommending a flexible and portable approach for the registrants to transfer their domain names from one registrar to the other. Some recommendations however raise issues such as security of domain names that need to be ironed out in the policy


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Incredible Names
09 August 2022

Submission Summary:

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 sho...


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Haroon, M Omair
08 August 2022

Submission Summary:

As a domain investor, I am surprised that ICANN as the sole domain authority is keen on making investments of other domain investors including myself to be hijacked so easily with the newly proposed policy of registrar being unable to NACK a domain transfer. I feel that the new proposed policy regarding registrar being unable to NACK a domain transfer will expose a lot of investors who are constantly on the move. And expose our investments to ...


Initial Report on the Transfer Policy Review - Phase 1(a) Submission - Jackson, Ron
08 August 2022

Submission Summary:

It is unfortunate that an issue of this importance that could lead to an increase in domain hijackings is being put before the public at this time of year when many are on vacation, away from (or less engaged) with their computers than they normally would be. This will be the case at least through the Labor Day weekend (I find myself among those in this position). Since it is vital that all registrants have an opportunity to receive and unders...
