RE: [council] Updated GNSO Council agenda 2O November 2007 - IGO DRP

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

All,

Since our October 31 meeting, there has been additional discussion within the 
IPC regarding the IGO-DRP that has culminated in two developments relevant to 
the discussion tomorrow.  First, the IPC is drafting a revised proposed DRP 
that we hope will satisfactorily address many of the objections articulated 
thus far.  Having a revised proposed DRP that addresses these objections will, 
in our view, provide a better basis for deciding whether to proceed with a PDP. 
 We expect to circulate the revised proposed DRP not later than COB (Pacific) 
next Wednesday, 28 November.  Second, as a consequence of this decision, the 
IPC no longer intends to pursue - either formally or informally - the working 
group concept set out in the motion I proposed in LA.

In light of the expected revised proposed DRP and to ensure that all 
constituencies have sufficient time for review and consultation, I propose that 
we postpone voting on the PDP until our December 20 meeting.  Accordingly, set 
forth below is a motion to that effect.  

-*-

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 drafting and expects to 
distribute not later than 28 November a revised proposed draft dispute 
resolution procedure,

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Council postpones until its 20 December 
meeting the vote on whether to initiate a policy development process.
