Dear ALAC colleagues, My action item from today's WG call is to ask you whether you believe that any set of surveys of Internet users asking them about the benefits/problems of an enhanced gTLD namespace might also be extended to Trademark Owners, especially enquiring about their experience with regards to cybersquatting and their assessment of incurred costs and satisfaction with results when a resolution is sought. Comments eagerly welcome! Also -- just arrived as a public comment from USG, please read below, FYI. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Message original -------- Sujet: [gnso-consumercci-dt] Comments from US DoC regarding CCTC WG work Date : Wed, 16 May 2012 01:44:32 +0200 De : Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com> Pour : gnso-consumercci-dt@icann.org <gnso-consumercci-dt@icann.org> Hello everyone, whilst preparing an email to follow-up on the Action Item which was assigned to me today to ask the ALAC about expansion of survey to trademark owners, I just came across an added entry on the Comments Forum from US Dept. of Commerce, from Vernita D. Harris. (Received & Dated 15th May 2012) http://forum.icann.org/lists/cctc-draft-advice-letter/msg00013.html You might wish to read this and staff might wish to forward to Steve Crocker, if he hasn't caught glimpse of this yet.
