- Thread-topic: Renewed Motion to Recommend Protections in the First Round of New gTLDs for Certain Red Cross / Red Crescent (RCRC) and International Olympic Committee (IOC) Names
To the GNSO Council:
Given the lack of clarity on conflict of interest rules and procedures for
renewed Councilor votes on motions, as discussed on our last Council
teleconference, I wish to present the following motion to recommend protections
in the first round of new gTLDs for certain Red Cross / Red Crescent (RCRC) and
International Olympic Committee (IOC) names:
Made by: Brian Winterfeldt
Seconded by:
WHEREAS:
The Board Resolution 2011.06.20.01, authorized "the President and CEO to
implement the new gTLD program which includes . . . incorporation of text
concerning protection for specific requested Red Cross and IOC names for the
top level only during the initial application round, until the GNSO and GAC
develop policy advice based on the global public interest, . . ."
(http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-20jun11-en.htm)
The IOC/RC Drafting Team established [Date] by the GNSO Council has considered
a number of different options with respect to protections of both the IOC and
the RCRC terms in response to the GAC proposal to provide permanent protection
for such terms including at the second level in new gTLDs;
The solution proposed by the IOC/RC Drafting Team, to initiate a PDP and to
provide temporary reservation of the exact match IOC/RC names, was posted for
public comment on 28 September 2012 and closed on 9 November 2012;
The GNSO has now [Date] initiated a policy development process (PDP) to
evaluate possible protections for certain international organization names in
all gTLDs, including, specifically, whether to recommend policies to protect
IOC/RCRC names; and
Therefore, the IOC/RC Drafting Team recommends that the GNSO Council recommend
to the Board that it adopt the second recommendation of the IOC/RC Drafting
Team, providing for temporary reservation of the exact match IOC/RC names,
prior to the delegation of the first round of new gTLDs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That the GNSO Council adopts the IOC/RC Drafting Team's recommendation to
temporarily reserve the exact match of IOC and RCRC second level domain names
listed in Section 2.2.1.2.3 of the Applicant Guidebook and per the GAC
recommendation of 14 September 2011 pending the outcome of the recently
launched policy development process involving International Governmental and
Non-governmental Organizations.
That the GNSO Council thanks the members of the IOC/RC Drafting Team for their
efforts in producing these recommendations, and hereby disbands the IOC/RC
Drafting Team; and
That the Chair of the GNSO Council is authorized to forward these
recommendations to the ICANN Board.
