Hi everyone, <div><br></div><div>Wisdom has kindly accepted to brief you about the transfer policy group tomorrow but I’d like to add my thoughts here:</div><div><br></div><div>We have been talking about operational matters at a very granular level. For example how long should your domain name be locked before you can transfer again. This is a feature that is in place to prevent registration abuse. (Hijacking domains, hiding traces etc). We have been talking about how long the lock should be and the conversation is just not systematic . It’s like tossing a coin. Some registrars even believe there should be no lock. With this regard, we have been of the opinion that a “lock period” is necessary. But since we don’t have the operational knowledge and haven’t done research about this, we are not pushing for a specific number of days, other than long enough that can prevent abuse but not long enough that hurdles operation of domain. </div><div><br></div><div>Other aspects we discussed with you before are the dual factor auth which we asked to be in place. The other is the privacy concern when notifications about transfer is sent which we are supporting minimization of personal data that can be found in these notifications. </div><div><br></div><div>I think I have raised this with you before. We hear many voices in this group about how things work. But we don’t hear the customers. I am not sure NCSG is in a place to fix this but at least the experience of noncommercials that are concerned with operation of domain names would be useful. </div><div><br></div><div>I also appreciate receiving a couple of written updates from our other colleagues representing us in other groups so that those of us who can’t attend the ncsg policy meeting can keep up to date. </div><div><br></div><div><br>On Wednesday, December 8, 2021, Tomslin Samme-Nlar <<a href="mailto:mesumbeslin@gmail.com">mesumbeslin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear everyone,</div><div><br></div><div>Please find the agenda below for our monthly policy call scheduled for Monday 13 December at 11:30 UTC. <br></div><div><br></div><div><u><b>Agenda</b></u><br></div><div>
