The working group intends to publish its Phase 1(a) Initial Report in June 2022.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=176622934 PDP Transfer Policy Review Workspace - Action Items & Work Plan], last updated November 2021</ref> As the working group investigated the issues and charter questions regarding FOA and AuthInfo codes, they identified terminology issues resulting from the [[Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data]] as well as overlapping terms referring to the same object.
* The group found numerous spellings, punctuated variants, and parallel terms for the concept of an "AuthInfo" code.<ref name="1adraftIR">[https://community.icann.org/display/TPRPDP/Working+Documents?preview=/167543675/197263958/TPR%20Initial%20Report%20Draft%20-%2029%20April%202022.pdf Transfer Policy Review PDP - Draft Initial Report], April 20, 2022</ref> Recommendation #6 in the Draft Initial Report suggests replacing all such terms with "Transfer Authorization Code."
* The [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]] still contains references to "WHOIS Data," "Administrative Contact," and other terms specific to the [[WHOIS]] system. The working group recommended ensuring that the Transfer Policy utilize terms that could relate to still-relevant aspects of the RAA requirements, but that were more generic. They also recommended collapsing all references to a specific type of contact into a single term: "Registered Name Holder." The recommendation leaves open the option to retain legacy references to WHOIS-associated terms if there is a reason to do so.
* The recommendations, if accepted, would effectively eliminate "Form of Authorization" as a term of art. The working group recommended a series of notifications to and from the Registered Name Holder and the Registrar of Record, rather than FOAs.
