I second this request.
Volker Greimann
Dear Jonathan and fellow Council members,
I would like to request the addition of an item to the draft Beijing
GNSO Council meeting agenda, circulated earlier today, by proposing a
motion for discussion and adoption, copied below.
"The GNSO Council registers its disappointment and concern at the
recent adoption in significant parts by ICANN staff of the Trademark
Clearing House "Strawman Solution", despite the proposal's flawed
genesis and the strong opposition to it voiced by both the GNSO
council and a significant portion of the public comments. The
expansion of rights protection mechanisms in the new gTLDs, following
the comprehensive policy processes of the GNSO that had appeared to
settle these issues, and also the clear determination by the GNSO
Council that specific measures therein represent substantive
policy-making rather than purely technical or operational
implementation, represent an unwarranted extension into the
policy-making function by ICANN staff.
The GNSO Council strongly regrets the decision to circumvent the
established, transparent and rules-based policy development process in
a top-down decision-making process, to the detriment of the GNSO
Council's bylaw-defined role and the multi-stakeholder model more broadly.
As ICANN staff also currently seeks to endow the Board with top-down
and unilateral policy authority in the new RA and RAA, without
substantive justification, the GNSO Council is deeply concerned by the
implications of this extension of executive privilege, in the adoption
of the "Strawman Solution", and in other issues, and for the future of
the multi-stakeholder model.
The GNSO council therefore requests that the Board re-consider the
proposed course of action regarding the TMCH, and, specifically, that
the the extension of the TMCH claims procedure to 90 days and the
inclusion of 50 additional terms not to be implemented until these
proposals have been approved by a majority of the GNSO Council after
careful consideration of their implications."
Best regards,
Maria
