from 5-6:30 pm. As a reminder, each of the Stakeholder Groups
should identify their representatives to the Review Team in accordance with the
proposed motion that will be voted upon at the GNSO Council meeting on
Wednesday. For your information, the proposed motion is below. Best regards, Margie Milam Senior Policy Counselor ICANN WHEREAS, the ICANN Board has requested that
the GNSO evaluate certain ICANN staff implementation proposals for the
protection of trademarks in new gTLDs based in part on the recommendations from
the IRT, public comments, and additional analysis undertaken by ICANN Staff, as
described in the letter dated 12 October 2009 <<Letter from Rod Beckstrom & Peter Dengate Thrush
to GNSO Council>>. WHEREAS, the
ICANN Board letter requests the GNSO’s view by December 14, 2009 on whether
certain rights protection mechanisms for second level strings recommended by
ICANN Staff based on public input are consistent with the GNSO’s proposed
policy on the introduction of new gTLDs, and are the appropriate and effective
options for achieving the GNSO’s stated principles and objectives; WHEREAS, the GNSO has reviewed the ICANN
Board letter and desires to approve the procedures for conducting such
evaluation; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the GNSO
adopts the following process to conduct the evaluation requested by the Board: 1.
A GNSO Review Team will be comprised of representatives
designated as follows: the Registrar and Registry Stakeholder Groups with
two (2) representatives each, the Commercial Stakeholder Groups and the
Non-Commercial Stakeholder Groups with four (4) representatives each, and
At-Large with two (2) representatives and one representative from the
Nominating Committee Appointees(1); 2.
Each of the Stakeholder Groups
will solicit from their members their initial position statements on the
questions and issues raised by the ICANN Board letter and the ICANN Staff
proposed models for the implementation of the Trademark Clearinghouse and
Uniform Rapid Suspension model, and will deliver their initial position
statements on November 4, and with final position statements to be delivered by
November 6, 2009; 3.
Such position statements will
be summarized by ICANN Staff and distributed to the GNSO Review Team to
evaluate whether a consensus can be reached on the ICANN Staff implementation
models or other proposals for the protection of trademarks in the New gTLD
Program; and The GNSO Review Team will conduct its
analysis, identify those areas where consensus has already been reached, an
seek to develop consensus on those issues for which consensus could not be
determined. The GNSO Review Team will provide a final report to the GNSO on or
before the GNSO council’s meeting in late November, 2009. |
