[council] FW:] Proposed alternative TMCH implementation model

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I wanted to forward this to the Council.  Unfortunately the documents posted by 
ICANN on the clearinghouse did NOT include any of the materials and information 
discussed with the tech group for the past several months.  It is an omission 
the group has asked ICANN to correct.  In the meantime, these documents are now 
out for public comment.  We have asked ICANN to open an official ICANN public 
comment on it as well.

We, the registries that have worked on this, believe that these alternate 
models better reflect the principals in the Applicant Guidebook, while at the 
same time presents a solution that is more easily implement able by the 
registries to keep the costs down for trademark owners sand applicants.  This 
was truly developed in a bottom up approach and represents comments received by 
the tech group.

Please forward on to your respective constituencies, advisory committees and 
stakeholder groups.

I am happy to discuss in Toronto and to answer any questions,

Thanks,

All

 

As you may be aware, ARI Registry Services in conjunction with Neustar, 
Verisign and Demand Media have spent the past three months producing an 
alternative solution for the operation of ICANN�s Trademark Clearinghouse 
(TMCH) for the new Top-Level Domain (TLD) program.

 

Today we are publishing the results of this work in the form of three white 
papers which outline concerns with ICANN�s current TMCH proposal and provide an 
alternative model that addresses those concerns whilst meeting all the 
requirements outlined in the Applicant Guidebook and those further stipulated 
by ICANN.

 

Please see the attached documents (or view my blog about the subject here: 
http://www.ariservices.com/blog/community-support-required-for-alternative-trademark-clearinghouse-solution/)

 

We are now seeking public feedback, comment and support for this alternative 
proposal to demonstrate to ICANN that there is a consensus for change. I 
encourage everyone involved or interested in the new TLD program to review the 
alternative approach and voice your opinion on the matter to ICANN. Please help 
spread the word, I will communicate the official ICANN link as soon as the 
documents are posted.

 

The TMCH is a crucial element of the new TLD program that affects us all and we 
cannot afford to get this wrong.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

 

Thanks
