Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.

The "LEAP-comments-Transfers-Phase1a-20220814-FINAL.pdf" is our main comment submission.
The "LEAP-extensionrequest-Transfers-Phase1a-20220731.pdf" file is our earlier request for the deadline to be extended to mid-September. This was not granted (although, perhaps it will be, who knows!). We retain it to have a full historical record.
There is a lot wrong with this working group's report, too long to summarize briefly. Read the entire 60 pages to see our full analysis.
We wish to emphasize, though, that the TAC is very dangerous. It should be eliminated, by adopting our counterproposal in Section E (generate a transaction ID at the gaining registrar, to input at the losing registrar). This would be a huge improvement.
Also, the Losing FOA needs to be maintained, at least on an opt-in basis, as per our "Best of Both Worlds" proposal in section F.
Consideration should be given to inviting knowledgeable members of the ICANN community like ourselves to participate directly in the working group on behalf of domain registrants, to reduce the unbalanced participation that currently exists in the working group.
SSAC should also do a thorough review, in light of our own comments that highlighted the inconsistencies between their past advisories and the working group's recommendations. An XPRIZE-style competition would also be a way to bring in fresh ideas, and new solutions.
