IRTP is the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy developed by ICANN for the safe straight forward transfer of domain names from one registrar to another.[1] the policy contains information about the method of transferring a domain name, dispute resolution mechanism and the method of undoing the transfer if it was done as a result of an error.[2]

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.[3]

In November 2008, certain changes were made to the policy on the advice of ICANN board.[4]
