[ga] Transfers Final Report
The Transfers Task Force Final Report and Recommendations have been posted:
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030212.NCTransferTF-gaining-and-losing-regist
rars.html
My only objection to the document (after a quick scan) stems from the
dilution of language subsequent to the input from the Implementation
Committee (which I view as having been unduly dominated by the registrars).
Prior language stated: "The Registrant must be informed of and have access
to, the published documentation of the specific transfer process of their
current Registrar."
The new language reads: "Registrars should make reasonable efforts to inform
registrants of and provide access to, the published documentation of the
specific transfer process(es) employed by the Registrar."
What does the registrant community gain by letting registrars off the hook on
this matter? There is a world of difference between "must" and "should" in
policy language, and leaving such matters open-ended serves only to allow
certain registrars to avoid their obligations at the expense of the
registrant right to be properly informed.
Further, I fail to understand why this was within the purview of the
implementation committee, as clearly every registrar has the capability to
post documentation of the transfer process. How could this possibly be
construed as an implementation issue?
Finally, my thanks to Ross Rader for his diligence in bringing this transfers
issue to some type of closure.
