RE: [nc-transfer] Lastest Document: Draft Complete ver 2, rev. 0, draft 0

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>]

In your draft, in the dispute resolution section, you state:

"[Note: This section attempts to create a process by which registrars could
seek enforcement on specific issues directly with the appropriate registry
operator and, if necessary, escalate to a "Dispute Resolution Panel" as a
final measure in the case of disputes that were not clear violations of
policy. Concerning Sections B & C specifically are clauses clarifying the
existing role that Registry Operators take in the enforcement process. While
it does bring additional rigor to the process, it does not introduce
generally new responsibilities upon the Registry Operator nor create new
policy.]"

I do believe that Sections B & C do represent "new policy" for registry
operators.  I am not saying that we will not carry these out, but they
certainly would represent new policy operations not contemplated by the
current Registry Registrar Agreements.  It appears to me that by adding your
explanatory statement, you are trying to counter Mike Palage's argument that
if something is considered "new policy" that Registry Operators would be
able to recover any fees.  By stating these are "NOT" new policies, you are
trying to state that Registries cannot recover their costs.  

However the issues of fees works out, the TF draft should not opine as to
what is or what is not "new policy."  That is for the ICANN staff, the
Registry Operators and Registrars to work out as set forth in the Registry
Agreements.  Therefore, I would ask that that language be removed.

Thanks.

Folks,

Please find attached what I believe to be the last iteration of the drafting
team's work on the IRDX recommendations. Thanks to each of you that
specifically helped out with the drafting and to all of you that provided
input.

If there are any glaring errors, please let me know and I will try to figure
out how to rectify without upsetting the process any further.

Regards,
