Description:
The purpose of the call was to discuss the IRT Final Report. Members of the IRT reviewed the five identified trademark protection issues, specifically the five priority proposals of:
- IP Clearinghouse, Globally Protected Marks List and associated rights protection mechanisms, and standardized pre-launch rights protection mechanisms;
- Uniform Rapid Suspension System (“URS”);
- Post delegation dispute resolution mechanisms at the top level;
- Whois requirements for new TLDs; and
- Use of algorithm in string confusion review during initial evaluation.
Participants will be able to engage in a discussion of the proposed solutions to these issues as set out in the Final IRT Report.
