Subject: [council] Request for extension of time for IGO-INGO Issue Report on 
Curative Rights Protection
Dear Councilors,

We trust that you enjoyed a merry and festive holiday break, and extend a warm 
welcome back to you for the Council activities for 2014!

As you will recall, the Council approved all the consensus recommendations made 
by the IGO-INGO PDP Working Group at the Council meeting in Buenos Aires on 20 
November 2013. One of these recommendations was for an Issue Report relating to 
possible modifications to the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the 
Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) process in order to enable protected IGOs and 
INGOs to access and utilize these curative rights protection mechanisms.

Staff has been engaged in preparing the Preliminary Issue Report, as requested; 
however, due to the holiday break and the need for internal coordination of 
several questions posed by the issue under consideration, we find that we 
cannot complete the full report within the 45 calendar day requirement 
specified in the GNSO PDP Manual. As a result, I hereby write to request an 
extension of the time period. My expectation is that staff will be able to 
complete and publish the full Preliminary Issue Report before the end of 
January 2014 for public comment, following which a Final Issue Report will be 
prepared and submitted to the GNSO Council for your review and action.

Please let me know if there are any objections to the requested extension. 
Thank you.

Cheers
Mary
