Whereas:

The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) is an existing consensus policy 
under review by the GNSO,

The GNSO Transfers Working Group identified a number of issues in its review of 
the current Policy and those issues have been grouped into suggested PDPs, set 
A-E, as per the Council's resolution of 8 May 2008,

The GNSO Council, in order to be more efficient and hopefully reduce the 
overall timeline for addressing all the IRTP PDPs, resolved on 16 April 2009 to 
combine the issues outlined under the original issue set B, addressing three 
issues on undoing IRTP transfers, and some of the issues outlined in issue set 
C, related to registrar lock status into one IRTP Part B,

The GNSO Issues Report Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Part B was submitted to 
the GNSO Council on 15 May 2009,

The Issues Report recommends that the GNSO Council proceed with a Policy 
Development Process limited to consideration of the issues discussed in this 
report, and

The General Counsel of ICANN has indicated the topic is properly within the 
scope of the ICANN policy process and within the scope of the GNSO

Resolved:

The GNSO will initiate a PDP on the issues defined in Inter Registrar Transfer 
Policy Issues Report Part B.

A Working Group will be created for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements 
of the PDP.

27 Votes in favour.
The resolution passed unanimously

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
Glen
