Motion to Approve the Alternative Proposal recommended by the Special
Trademark Issues Review Team
Whereas, on 12 October 2009, the ICANN Board sent a letter
(http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/beckstrom-to-gnso-council-12oct09-
en.pdf ) to the GNSO requesting its review of the policy implications of
certain trademark protection mechanisms proposed for the New gTLD
Program;

Whereas, in response to the Board's letter, on 28 October 2009 the GNSO
created the Special Trademarks Issues (STI) review team to analyze the
specific rights protection mechanisms that have been proposed for
inclusion into the Draft Applicant Guidebook;

Whereas, on 11 December 2009, the STI Review Team delivered its Report
(link: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/) to the GNSO Council describing an
alternative proposal to address trademark concerns in the New gTLD
Program that was supported by a consensus of its members;

Whereas, the GNSO has reviewed the STI Report, and the minority reports
included therein, and desires to approve the alternative proposal
recommended by the STI review team;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED, that the GNSO appreciates the hard work and tremendous effort
shown by each member of the STI review team in developing the STI
alternative proposal on an expedited basis;

RESOLVED, that the GNSO hereby approves of the recommendations contained
in the STI Report in their entirety, and resolves that the STI proposal
to create a Trademark Clearinghouse and a Uniform Rapid Suspension
procedure as described in the STI Report is a more effective and
implementable solution than the Staff proposal described in the Draft
Applicant Guidebook Version 3 and its accompanying memoranda;

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to forward the
recommendations to the Board in response to its 12 October 2009 letter.

WHEREAS, in light of the approaching year-end holidays and the numerous
important issues pending before the GNSO Council, the Council desires to
have ample time to evaluate the recommendations contained in the Issues
Report;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED, that the Council acknowledges receipt of the Issues Report,
