[nc-transfer] Progressing Transfers

I have been reviewing the current status of the task force and have a couple
of suggestions to make.
1. I propose that Ross's IRDX paper be the core of our recommendations to
the Names Council for adoption and forwarding to the Board

2. I suggest that Ram's paper "A better way to transfer Domain Names" 15
August, be attached to the IRDX paper as an informational annex and method
of FOA

3. I propose that at the next TF meeting, this Wednesday/Thursday, that the
TF adopt the IRDX paper by consensus or vote (if necessary) so that we can
build on that with confidence - if there are still issues that people have
with any aspects of the paper, I would hope that they will take this
proposal to prompt them to comment on the IRDX paper such that we can make
whatever amendments are necessary and then adopt it

4. I propose that we aim to put the complete report - including the IRDX as
our central recommendation - to the Names Council meeting of 3 October for
their consideration prior to the Names Council formally adopting it at
Shanghi (this will provide the NC with an appropriate time to take it back
to their constituencies (remembering that all constituencies are represented
on the TF) and post for final public comment). 

5. I propose that, given the Names Council will be formally adopting the TF
report at Shanghi, the public form planned for Shanghi be used to "close
off" the process and provide the Board (not the Names Council) with the
opportunity to receive final comments on the report.

I look forward to my fellow TF members' comments on my proposals.
