Re: [ispcp] RV: [gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: IOC/Red Cross DT: Proposed Narrowing of Options
hi Osvaldo,
as usual, my engagement/interest in this issue is low and i don't have strong opinions about that happens.
the thing that bothers me is the amount of attention and energy it is consuming that could be devoted to other, much broader policy issues. so i'd support just about anything that moves the GNSO off this issue and on to other things. :-)

The registries felt like the operational issues with regard to the release can be worked out (as this has been done with other reserved names in the past). We believe that the PDP process will address exceptions (if there is a rule coming out of the PDP to make the reservations permanent). So, until the full pdp, the feeling was at this point no exceptions. [That is not a hard and fast rule, but just easier for now. Because once you start talking exceptions, you get into the underlying discussions…that defeats the point of keeping the names out of the registration pool in the first place pending the pdp]
>
> The registries position is that it is harder to take back names as a result of a PDP, then to release names that were once reserved prior to the PDP. On balance therefore, it was better to not allow the registration of those names until the outcome of the PDP. Note this does not mean that we as registries believe they necessarily should be protected, but rather a matter of practicality until a full pdp can resolve the issues. Stated yet another way, the default should not be that the names are released prior to the PDP being completed.

Communicate to the GAC that Discussion Group Option 5 (PDP) is the GNSO’s starting position for second-level names of the RCRC and IOC in the first round of new gTLDs: “Consider possible additional protections for the RCRC/IOC as part of a broader PDP initiative on the protection of names for international organizations”
>
> b. Provide a rationale for this position
> · Possible reasons could include but need not be limited to the following:
> i. Reserving names for the IOC or RC could set excessive precedents and motivate unlimited numbers of other organizations to see special protections even though the GAC did a commendable job of trying to narrowly qualify the organizations for which names would be reserved.
> ii. Lots of input has been received since the GAC request that makes it less clear that the list of organizations could be sufficiently narrow.
> iii. National laws vary regarding their implementation of international treaties including variances about what exceptions are made.
> iv. Existing rights protection mechanisms can be used by the IOC and RC just like other organizations who have rights to names.
> v. Reserving the finite list of names recommended by the GAC opens the door to expanding that list to include acronyms, similar strings, etc., and these become even more problematic from an operational and policy perspective.
> vi. There are organizations besides the IOC and RC that have legitimate rights to some of the GAC recommended strings.
> vii. The complexities of this issue warrant a thorough vetting in a GNSO multi-stakeholder, bottom-up PDP and, because of the complexities and competing interests, a PDP may not be able to be completed before new gTLDs are delegated.
