==Development==
IRTP was developed through consensus process of [[ICANN]]. In early 2003, the Transfer Task Force presented a report to [[GNSO]] council. The report has 29 policy recommendations which were accepted by [[GNSO]] and were adopted by [[ICANN]]. [[ICANN]] coordinated with the Transfer Assistance Group - [[TAG]] and [[GNSO]] to implement the transfer procedure. This policy is required to be followed by all the registrars throughout the world since 12 November 2004.<ref>[http://ip-updates.blogspot.com/2004/07/icann-announces-inter-registrar.html IP-Updates Blog]</ref>

In November 2008, certain changes were made to the policy on the advice of [[ICANN]] board.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/ ICANN Transfers]</ref>
