[council] Protection of International Olympic Committee (IOC) / Red Cross Names (RCRC) Drafting Team - Recommendations

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Not sure you saw this announcement on Friday.  These represent the Drafting 
Team's current thinking on protecting the IOC/Red Cross names at the second 
level which was posted on Friday.  The recommendations are now out for public 
comment.

Recommendations)

For those of you that have not been following the Drafting Team's work, these 
recommendations were crafted prior to the Board's resolution which essentially 
states the same thing.  So, notwithstanding the previous posts on this list on 
Friday, I do not believe the Board's resolution influenced the work of the 
Drafting Team, but rather, it is my belief that Board members following the 
work of the Drafting Team were influenced by the work we on the Drafting Team 
were doing.

We can discuss whether we believe the ICANN Board was proper in its recent 
resolution on the IOC/RC names, but I just wanted you to know that the Drafting 
Team's recommendations were not changed by the Board's resolution.

Thanks.
