[council] Recommendation to the GNSO Council Regarding Policy Work on Protection of IGO Names and Abbreviations in line with WIPO 2
Hello All, Attached is a recommendation prepared by the intellectual property constituency regarding next steps with respect to the request from WIPO for ICANN to consider Protection of IGO Names and Abbreviations in line with WIPO 2 . The constituency recommends that: "The GNSO Council should request an Issues Report from ICANN staff to further explore the issues involved in introducing a separate dispute resolution procedure (DRP) specifically for addressing disputes involving IGO names and abbreviations. Based on this Issues Report, the GNSO Council may then consider launching a PDP on the topic. " Note there is a stream of correspondence available at: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/ on this topic. A more recent letter is dated 31 January 2006: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/twomey-to-tarmizi-13mar06.pdf And 15 June 2006: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/tarmizi-to-twomey-15jun06.pdf Note this is relevant in the context of some of the GAC principles relating to new gTLDs.
