Motion that failed in LA
Whereas, the Council has previously requested and received both the 15 June 2007 "GNSO Issues Report on Dispute Handling for IGO Names and Abbreviations"
and the 28 September 2007 "Staff Report on Draft IGO Domain Name Dispute Resolution Procedure;"
and

Whereas, the Council believes that further work on the draft IGO Domain Name Dispute Resolution Procedure is appropriate before voting on whether to initiate a policy development process on this issue; and

Whereas, the Intellectual Property Constituency is willing to lead a small ad hoc group to review and consider a proposed draft dispute resolution procedure,

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council authorizes the creation of a small ad hoc group of interested informed and representative stakeholders and members of the GAC to review, consider and propose as
appropriate revisions to the Draft IGO Domain Name Dispute Resolution Procedure set forth in the Staff Report, and instructs the ad hoc group to report to the Council with its recommendations not later than 15
February 2008.

Item 4: Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy PDP vote (15)
