What is the New Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP)?
The Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) governs domain name transfers between ICANN registrars. The new provisions in the IRTP now specifically include changes to domain ownership (changes to the registrant). This means that any time a material change to a domain name's registrant first name, last name, or email address occurs, a sequence of confirmations, approvals, and possibly emails are now required for registrant information to be modified. Please keep in mind that now even small changes to a domain name's registrant first name, last name, organization, and email address may trigger the validation process. This new policy takes effect on December 1, 2016.
How does the New IRTP Work?
Whenever there is a material change to a domain name's registrant first name, last name, or email address, as well as, in some cases, administrative contact email (if there is no registrant email), confirmation must be provided by both the old registrant entity and the new registrant entity or a designated agent for the respective old or new registrant. Failure to provide confirmation from either party will cancel the change of registrant and all registrant information will remain that of the prior registrant.
Confirmation:
ICANN has reviewed the policies that govern domain transfers in the gTLD and nTLD spaces and has come up with a new Transfer Policy which includes a new process: Registrant Transfer (Change of Registrant).
This new Transfer Policy will become effective December 1, 2016. A change of registrant have to be requested with a TradeDomain command.
Following new parameters are created:
Designated Agent (DA) of the new registrant: X-CONFIRM-DA-NEW-REGISTRANT = 1
Designated Agent (DA) of the old registrant: X-CONFIRM-DA-OLD-REGISTRANT = 0 | 1

TRADEDOMAIN with OPT-OUT
To avoid the sixty (60) day transferlock, you have the option to request the TradeDomain command with the additional parameter X-REQUEST-OPT-OUT-TRANSFERLOCK = 1. The activation of this parameter triggers an email. The old registrant will receive an email requesting the confirmation of the change of registrant. This email have to be approved within fourteen (14) days to complete the TRADE request and avoid the sixty (60) days transferlock.
