Subject: Protection IGO/INGO Identifiers in All gTLDS

Dear Jonathan,

On behalf of the ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC),   I write to 
follow up on our letter of 16 June 2014 regarding Protection of IGO/INGO 
Identifiers in All gTLDs and the advice from the GAC in its Buenos Aires 
Communiqué addressing the same topic.

We understand that the GNSO has initiated a PDP on Curative Rights Protections 
for IGO/INGOs.   This PDP is closely related to the issue of IGO/INGO 
Identifiers and will have an impact on how the NGPC ultimately addresses the 
GAC's advice. We would be grateful for a briefing by the GNSO on the progress 
of this PDP, including current status and projected timeline for completion.

Finally, to the extent that it would be helpful, the NGPC would be pleased to 
provide a briefing (oral or written) to provide greater clarity on the GAC's 
advice and expectations with respect to protections of IGO-INGO Identifiers. If 
you have any specific questions, please send those as well as they could help 
focus the briefing.

We appreciate the GNSO's hard work in developing policy recommendations and 
look forward to our continued discussions as we work together on this matter. 
In the meantime, we note that the temporary protections afforded to IGO 
acronyms remain in place while we continue our discussions.

Best regards,
Cherine Chalaby
Chair, New gTLD Program Committee
