Please.

Someone explain Where, how and by what means are the EPP authcodes created stored and distributed, who initiated this process, and provide us with an understanding of its original intent.

The old way was problem-free for me, this new way has served as a serious impediment.

If it is at all possible, craft a solution by which a request for authcode can cause the domain name EPP transfer code to be emailed promptly to the email address for the Admin contact in whois

I would like, for this short timeframe only and specific to Registerfly only transfer-away processing, to have ICANN INSTRUCT ALL ITS REGISTRARS to ACCEPT RRP as a VALID EPP AUTHCODE to allow transfer-away from registerfly and into a new Registrar by a logged in and verified account holder. In many cases the account verification gets done but the Authcode stops the process.

What it is: The meeting is the main policy related meeting for At-Large in Lisbon. Along with guest speakers, the delegates will seek to agree on policy statements covering three areas of current ICANN policy work: Domain Monetisation / Tasting, Registry/Registrar Practices of Concern to End-Users, and Internationalised Domain Names.

Why it's important: The two regions and ALAC, after consulting with the other regions, expect to conclude statements on policy areas under discussion in other constituencies.

What it is: The second session of the AFRALO at Lisbon is expected to be devoted to discussing the policy areas the region wishes to focus on and the regionally-specific view on the afternoon session with ALAC and the European ALS meeting topics.

Why it's important: This is the main opportunity for the African ALS community to set the policy priorities in a face-to-face setting in 2007.

Notes: the simplest stuff

Some people harbor the expectation that Registerfly will be put out of business by a Revoked RAA situation from ICANN. The actual facts are more likely that they will have to remove the ICANN STAMP, and strictly act as a name affilliate/reseller, as they did when they first started that company. Registerfly could continue operations after March 31st, likley buying domains through TUCOWS or some equivalent that they have a working API for.

ALAC Committee meeting, Thursday

What it is: This third session of the ALAC will feature a meeting with the Ombudsman of ICANN to discuss how the Ombudsman process works, ICANN Staff to walk the ALS community through the GNSO PDP process, discuss the ALAC independent review about to begin, discuss with the new ICANN Manager of Public Participation how to involve more end-users in the work of ICANN, and introduce the new process for evaluating ALS applications to the regional ALS community members present

RALO signings

What it is: The third session will continue discussions on
the priorities of the region, conclude (if not concluded at the Second Session)
election of the regional representatives to the At Large Advisory Committee,
as well as the RALO's officers, and discuss the policy issues being discussed
within ICANN from the perspective of Individual Internet Users in the European
region.

Why it's important: This will be the third region of At-Large to formally organise itself providing it concludes discussions on the MoU with ICANN.

What it is: The meeting is for the committee members to engage in their first substantive discussions during the Lisbon meeting. The matters under discussion at this session include agreeing on a new ALS Applications handling process involving the new RALOs more intimately, election of a Vice-Chair of the Committee, and budgeting discussions for the upcoming FY.

Why it's important: The ICANN International Meetings are an essential part of the ALAC's working calendar.

What it is: The second session will if necessary conclude the work on the Memorandum of Understanding with ICANN for this region of At Large if any issues remain open. It is hoped that it will also be able to conclude the Bylaws of the region with ICANN. Otherwise, the participants will work to decide the priorities of the region, begin the nomination of the two regional representatives to the At Large Advisory Committee, and discuss the policy issues being discussed within ICANN from the perspective of Individual Internet Users in the European region.
