sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">1. Following up to the discussion we had on this
subject, please find attached: (1) a draft motion setting out the background
(in the Whereas clauses) and proposed steps the Council will take in relation
to possibly modifying the GNSO’s consensus recommendations on RCRC and IGO
acronym identifier protections in response to the NGPC letter of 16 June; (2) a
document containing the actual proposed modification for the Council to discuss
forwarding on to the reconvened WG and including some background information
such as the actual original WG recommendation and GAC advice; and (3) a
comparison table showing the original WG recommendations and the proposed
modifications side by side.</div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;">This is to inform your discussion with your respective groups
in preparation for the public meeting on Wednesday. Of course, the motion will
not be voted on till the first meeting following this London gathering, but we
thought it might be useful for the Council to have all the necessary
documentation at the first possible opportunity.</div><div style="font-family:
Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-family:
Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Please note also that we have not run
the final versions of the recommended proposal by our legal colleagues as in
the interests of time we thought it important for you to be able to review
these early!</div></div><div><br></div><div>Kudos to policy staff, especially
Mary, for turning this around at such short notice and prepare the paperwork.
Thanks so much!</div><div><br></div><div>2. During the GAC/GNSO session (which
I think was an excellent meeting), there was only little time to discuss this
issue. Having spoken to a few people afterwards, including a GAC member, I was
wondering whether the current status and the suggested actions are sufficiently
clear. In particular, I am afraid that there is the misconception that a full
PDP might be required for changes to the recommendations. I would therefore
suggest we send a small briefing note to the GAC (we = Jonathan :-). Chances
would be that the GAC could consider this for its
communiqué. </div><div><br></div><div>***</div><div>Dear
Heather, </div><div>following up to yesterday's GAC / GNSO session, we
would like to briefly outline both the current status as well as the next steps
with respect to the IGO/RCRC question.</div><div><br></div><div>1. The GNSO
Council has been approached by the NGPC with a letter of June 16th, 2014
suggesting that indefinite claims service to provide notice to the organization
in question is offered for the designations in question whenever such
designation has been registered. Currently, the GNSO policy recommendations
provide for a 90 days claims service. </div><div><br></div><div>The GNSO
Council will continue its discussion on this subject during the public meeting
on Wednesday. Should the GNSO Council decide so, the course of action would be
to reconvene the PDP WG to consider this very question and get back to the GNSO
Council. We would like to stress that this consultation process would
presumably take a short period of time. The GNSO's PDP Manual offers such
process. This would not be a PDP.</div><div><br></div><div>2. The second
suggestion is to modify certain aspects of the URS to enable its use by
IGOs and the
development of rules and procedures for an arbitration process to resolve
claims of abuse of
IGO names and acronyms. We note that this work is already under way with the
PDP that has been initiated by the GNSO Council at its last meeting on June
5th, 2014. Thus, no action is required with respect to potential modifications
of GNSO Council policy recommendations as the aspect of working on potential
modifications of curative rights protection mechanisms was already included in
the set of recommendations the GNSO Council unanimously adopted last year.
While the work on the PDP is conducted, the temporary protections remain in
place, as the NGPC confirmed.</div><div><br></div><div>We welcome your and the
IGO Coalition's collaboration on these matters. </div>
