[council] Preliminary Issue Report on Review of RPMs in All gTLDs published for public comment
Dear Councilors, The Preliminary Issue Report on a possible PDP to review all the rights protection mechanisms (RPMs) in all gTLDs, including the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), has just been published for public comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rpm-prelim-issue-2015-10-09-en. This is in accordance with the GNSO Council request of December 2011 (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201112), the 18-month timeline for which was extended by the Council at staff¹s request in January 2015. We are publishing this report for public comment now so that the community will have a chance to discuss the topic during the upcoming ICANN54 meeting in Dublin. Since the public comment period will run through the ICANN meeting, we are running a fifty (50) day public comment period instead of the usual forty (40) days. The public comment period will therefore close on 30 November. A community session has also been planned for the Dublin meeting it is currently scheduled for Wednesday, from 16.15-17.45 Dublin time, and remote participation facilities will of course be available for community members who are not able to attend in person. For your and your respective SG/C¹s convenience, a copy of the Preliminary Issue Report can be accessed here: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/rpm-prelim-issue-09oct15-en.pdf. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4889 Email: mary.wong@xxxxxxxxx Attachment:
