FW: ICANN News Alert -- Posting of Public Interest Commitments (PIC) Specifications
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 6, 2013

March 6, 2013

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-05mar13-en.htm ________________________________ Posting of Public Interest Commitments (PIC) Specifications 5 March 2013 In an announcement<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/base-agreement-05feb13-en.htm> on 5 February 2013, ICANN requested that New gTLD applicants submit PIC Specifications. PIC Specifications provide applicants with the opportunity to make public interest commitments based on statements made in their applications and/or additional public interest commitments which were not included in their applications but to which they intend to commit. These commitments will become part of the applicant’s new gTLD registry agreement. Beginning today, PIC Specifications submitted by applicants will be available for public review. The Application Comments Forum<https://gtldcomment.icann.org/comments-feedback/applicationcomment/login#su…> remains open for any comments on applications, including comments on PIC Specifications. PIC Specifications can be viewed from the Current Application Status<https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/viewstatus> page on the New gTLD microsite. If a PIC Specification has been submitted for an application, "Yes" will be displayed in the PICs column. Click the link to download a PDF of the PIC Specification for that application. To view all submitted PIC Specifications at once, click the "Download All PICs" link at the top of the Current Application Status page. PIC Specifications are also available from the Application Details page. For more information about PIC Specifications, view the FAQs<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/base-agreement-specs-pic-faqs> page.

FW: ICANN News Alert -- Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure and Rules
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 5, 2013

March 5, 2013

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-05mar13-en.htm ________________________________ Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure and Rules 5 March 2013 An updated version of the Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) Procedure<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 168 KB] and the URS Rules are now available for download. The URS is one of several new Rights Protection Mechanisms available in the New gTLD Program. It complements the existing UDRP by offering a lower-cost, faster path to relief for rights holders experiencing the most clear-cut cases of infringement. The URS Procedure defines the URS claims process. The Rules will help service providers implement URS in a consistent manner. Since the last URS Procedure was posted on 4 June 2012, minor revisions have been made in the present rather than future tense. Other revisions clarify and simplify some provisions as well as make minor typographical corrections. Also, a set of Rules<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-04mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 82 KB] has been developed and added, similar to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) rules, to provide guidance on all aspects of the URS proceedings. In addition to the Rules posted by ICANN, each URS service provider is expected to produce supplemental rules to help standardize conduct for that provider's interactions with complainants and respondents, but that are not inconsistent with the Procedure or the Rules. The URS was developed by the community, for the community and is another testament to the multistakeholder model. Download the URS Procedure<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 168 KB] and Rules<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-04mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 82 KB].
