Request for input from the ALAC into the IRT's work on trademark issues with the introduction of new gTLDs
by Cheryl Langdon-Orr March 27, 2009

March 27, 2009

Building on the energy and enthusiasm that I trust those of you who were involved in the Mexico Meeting and At-Large Users Summit, still have I want, as Chair of the ALAC, to bring to the attention of At-Large and particularly the leadership of the RALO's and ALS's am matter arising from the Mexico ICANN meeting regarding tho formation and work of the IRT and indeed both the ALAC's and At-Larges input into its activities... Firstly I have included in the body of this message a copy in full, of a formal request from the President of the GNSO's Intellectual Property Constituency, Mr. Steve Metalitz, requesting ALAC specific input into this process in a very short time frame (we will add this to the Agenda for our March 24th ALAC Meeting) and pointing out the opportunity for individual (here I encourage also ALSes and RALO's to also respond directly) submissions to be provided directly to *ip-issues(a)icann.org*<ip-issues(a)icann.org> . Secondly two suitably qualified ALAC Members (in their individual capacity) have offered themselves to the IRT as Members these are Mr. Beau Brendler, and Ms. Vanda Scartezini, I would like at the ALAC Meeting to endorse these two IRT Members as formal representatives of the ALAC to this WG, and encourage discussion in the ALAC Working List regarding this matter prior to our discussion of this as an Agenda item at te March meeting as well... Related to this however is my desire to involve suitably qualified and experienced representatives from At-Large and the ALSes into an Ad Hoc ALAC WG (to operate as a subset of the existing new gTLD WG already established to give support and ensure that a balanced regional view on this important topic is provided (to include for example the matters of Traditional Rights that I heard discussed in the new gTLDs WG at the Summit meeting... I know we have plenty of talent ( all be it time poor talent) in this area of expertise so I want to encourage any one who can contribute over the next few days / weeks on this topic to join the Wiki Work space we will set up for the purpose, by sending your name and details to staff(a)atlarge.icann.orgas soon as possible this will help spread the workload AND ensure a good opportunity for input from "the edges" ... To this end I encourage the RALO leadership in each Region to actively, source, approach and encourage people you know of to step up and assist. I will ask staff to also send out an Announce email once the WIKI Work space is set up... CLO <email message from IPC> Dear Cheryl: During its March 6 meeting in Mexico City, the ICANN Board of Directors passed a resolution calling for the creation of an implementation recommendation team to "develop and propose solutions to the overarching issues of trademark protection in connection with the introduction of new gTLDs." That resolution directs the implementation recommendation team to "solicit input from the interested constituencies." (The full text of the resolution is accessible at* http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-06mar09.htm*<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-06mar09.htm> .) The Board requested the GNSO's Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) to convene an implementation recommendation team (IRT). Although the IPC is still developing the time line for the IRT's work and the criteria for membership on the IRT, the IPC wishes to begin soliciting input from the constituencies. Accordingly, we write to request that input from the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC). In particular, we seek the ALAC's proposals for solutions (new or existing) to trademark protection issues that have been identified in connection with the introduction of new gTLDs, concerns about such solutions, and any other pertinent information your ALAC believes the IRT should have as it begins its work. We encourage you to be as specific as possible. With regard to solutions, it is particularly important that solutions be scalable and fair. Finally, with the exception of identifying support for and/or identifying concerns with specific measures, it is not necessary to submit proposals about solutions that were set forth in public comments on the first draft of the Draft Applicant Guidebook; an IPC team is already hard at work identifying them. Those proposals can be seen by reviewing the public comments sections at <* http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/comments-en.htm#resources*<http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/comments-en.htm#resources>>, and many of them are in short form in section IX of the comment analysis at <* http://icann.x.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/agv1-analysis-public-comments-… *<http://icann.x.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/agv1-analysis-public-comments-…> >. Given the timetable set forth in the Board's resolution, we request your input not later than March 25, 2009. If it is not possible under the internal processes of ALAC to develop and approve any formal submission in the requested time frame, individual submissions from ALAC members are permitted. Your ALAC comments will have significant impact on the quality of the proposal and the speed that it will adopted, so please carefully consider your input, make it as complete as possible and try to respect the objectives of trying to protect consumers from harm while creating a fair and scalable solution. Please direct all submissions to *ip-issues(a)icann.org* <ip-issues(a)icann.org> . Thank you! Steve Metalitz, IPC president -- Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO)

GNSO Report
by Alan Greenberg March 24, 2009

March 24, 2009

A report has been posted covering GNSO activities at the Mexico City meeting, and a short note about the upcoming GNSO meeting later this week. The formal minutes from Mexico City are not yet out - once they are, if it appears that I have left anything important out here, I will update the report and send out a notice. Please specifically note the sections on the RAA Registrant Rights Charter and the possible PDP on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (in BOLD in the report). Alan

Proposed GNSO Motion on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery
by Alan Greenberg March 20, 2009

March 20, 2009

Following the ALAC requesting an Issues Report on Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery, the Issues Report (http://gnso.icann.org/issues/post-expiration-recovery/report-05dec08.pdf) was produced and submitted to the GNSO Council. The Council created a Drafting Team (DT) to address how best to handle the Issues Report, and the DT has now submitted a motion to formally initiate a Policy Development Process. The motion will be considered at the next GNSO meeting on March 26. A copy of the motion is attached. If adopted without change, I believe it will be the first time (at least in recent history) where a PDP will be initiated with an expected outcome of both a Consensus Policy and advice to various parties on how to ensure that the Policy is effectively deployed.
