<p>Hi, with thanks to Ken and all who worked on this, what
happened? What are the <u>specific protections</u> for
Registrants in the transfer policy?</p>
<p>Over the many years, we have commented on the need for notice -
no transferring our domain names without making sure that we (the
Registrant) have expressly, clearly, knowingly agreed. We have
written many comments on this, and discussed this at many policy
and information sessions. <br>
</p>
<p>I can't think of anything more important -- so to our
participants, what happened? What did you get - and thank you for
getting it!<br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">A couple of
weeks ago, on January 28, 2025, the Transfer
Policy Report PDP Working Group convened its last
meeting. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">After more
than four and a half years, and many hundreds of
conference calls, the TPR WG concluded its
activities and last week, on February 4, 2025,
issued its final report to the GNSO. As noted in
the report’s preamble, it contains the results of
the “Working Group’s deliberations on charter
questions and its 47 final policy
recommendations”. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Although I
came to the Working Group later in its
discussions, it was clear that even though many of
the key issues revolved around registrar and
registry processes, the NCSG substantially
contributed to the discussions in support of
protections for registrants. I believe that the
recommendations ultimately provide a reasonable
balance between the needs of each of the
stakeholder groups involved, and at the end there
was full consensus on the recommendations.</span></p>
