[council] Alternate Model Trademark Clearinghouse Call on October 9th, 9 am Eastern US Time

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

All,

As most of you are aware, ICANN posted its proposed implementation model of the 
TMCH earlier this year, with the most recent drafts posted on September 24, 
2012 
(http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-7-24sep12-en.htm).  
For a number of months, several registries and registrars have been working on 
an alternate mechanism for implementing the Trademark Clearinghouse at least 
with respect to how the Clearinghouse interacts with the gTLD Registries and 
Registrars.    A paper discussing the issues presented by the proposed ICANN 
implementation model along with our proposed alternate Sunrise and Trademark 
Claims models has now been posted by ICANN at:

ICANN has graciously volunteered its resources to host a call on October 9th at 
9am Eastern US time for the authors of the alternate models to discuss our 
models and rationale.  We wanted to make sure that you all were aware of the 
call as well.   This call will be good preparation for the meeting in a couple 
of weeks in Toronto.

I hope that ICANN will send out a more formal announcement about the call.  But 
just in case they do not, here is the call-in information that ICANN has given 
me.
