Summary:
On 12 October 2009, the ICANN Board sent a letter to the GNSO requesting its review of the policy implications of certain trademark protection mechanisms proposed for the New gTLD Program, as described in the Draft Applicant Guidebook, at the time, and accompanying memoranda. Specifically, the Board Letter requested that the GNSO provide input on whether it approves the proposed staff model, or, in the alternative, the GNSO could propose an alternative that is equivalent or more effective and implementable. In response, the GNSO adopted a resolution and created the Special Trademarks Issues review team (STI) on 28 October 2009 which included representatives from each Stakeholder Group, At-Large, Nominating Committee Appointees, and the GAC, to analyze the specific rights protection mechanisms that had been proposed for inclusion into the Draft Applicant Guidebook.
