FW: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] FW: Position statement of Intellectual Property Constituency
by Mike Rodenbaugh Nov. 10, 2009

Nov. 10, 2009

Mikey, thanks for volunteering to lead a draft of comments for the IRTP-B WG. Just this morning I told the WG Chair that we would not be submitting anything at this time, as we had no volunteers despite a couple requests. But I am sure Michele and the WG will appreciate our input even if a few weeks late. Below, with attachments, is email I sent you a couple weeks ago, with background and asking you to volunteer J Thanks, Mike Mike Rodenbaugh RODENBAUGH LAW 548 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94104 (415) <http://service.ringcentral.com/ringme/callback.asp?mbid=57178438,0,&referer =http://rodenbaugh.com/contact> 738-8087 http://rodenbaugh.com <http://rodenbaugh.com/> From: Mike Rodenbaugh [mailto:mike@rodenbaugh.com] Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 11:46 PM To: 'Berry Cobb'; 'Mike O'Connor'; chris(a)andalucia.com Subject: FW: [gnso-irtp-b-jun09] FW: Position statement of Intellectual Property Constituency Gents, just seeing this stmt from the IPC, and recalling the RyC statement also. Wondering whether you have reviewed and maybe we could just support a stmt from the BC along the lines "we agree with the IPC and the RyC comments" and/or include any differences that we have? Maybe a better way forward than to ignore the call for stmts, as we have done so far, and we can get something out to the BC List to chew on, in hopes of submitting to the WG in mid Nov? Thoughts?

Dear BC, Please find attached the final report of the OSC- CCT (Operations Steering Committee Communications and Coordination Team). The report has now been sent by the CCT team chair Mason Cole to the OSC chair Chuck Gomes. The next step would be for the OSC to either forward the recommendations on for full Council review (with any minor edits) or to send the recommendations back to the CCT for more work. This provides another opportunity for members of the BC to input any comments if they wish. Philip, as a member of the OSC can collect these comments. Thanks for your interest.

BC Charter ballot
by BC Secretariat Nov. 9, 2009

Nov. 9, 2009

Dear Members Ballot on revised BC Charter At the request of the BC Officers and with reference to the message below, I have today opened a 7-day voting period for the newly revised BC Charter. A majority approval vote means the new Charter will be adopted. A majority non-approval vote means the Charter will not be adopted. A ballot form is attached. Each member organisation has one vote. The vote should be placed by the principle BC contact for the membership organisation or by notified proxy. I will apply weighted voting when I receive your ballot form. All ballots will be acknowledged. The voting period closes at midnight in your time zone on Sunday 15 November 2009. Ballots cannot be accepted after this time. Best wishes Gary ---------------------------------------------------- We would like to ask all members to cast their vote in favour of the attached revised BC Charter. A definitive PDF version is attached. The Charter accommodates necessary changes for the re-structured GNSO in which the stakeholder groups provide representatives to the GNSO council. As such the BC will move from a situation in which its three GNSO representatives were also BC Officers, to a separation of these roles. There will be a new executive committee with a chair and two vice-chairs and CSR rep in addition to the two representatives to the GNSO Council. The Charter also includes other changes recommended by members and ICANN staff based on learning since the last Charter. The officers have done their best to accommodate all member perspectives given the diversity of those perspectives. Based on recent discussion where there was member disagreement we have wherever possible reverted to the text of the current charter which has served us well. Zahid Jamil Mike Rodenbaugh Philip Sheppard BC Officers

BC Position Statement on PEDNR
by Berry Cobb Nov. 6, 2009

Nov. 6, 2009

Marika, Attached is our position Statement for the PEDNR Working Group. This is WAY overdue and the BC or CSG (not used to the change yet) apologizes for our delayed submission delay. Within the comments, I do not believe you will find anything too earth shattering from what has already been discussed within the Working Group. Please let me know if you need anything else from me. I will take point on this task at the close of the Working Group to represent the BC's final position. Thank you. Berry A. Cobb Infinity Portals LLC 866.921.8891

Update on TM Rights Protection Mechanisms Negotiations
by Zahid Jamil Oct. 30, 2009

Oct. 30, 2009

Today the 3 days of off line negotiations and reaching out to the ALAC and NCSG on the issue of the IRT Report and the RPMs were successful. 3 hours of discussion (with the help of the ALAC- Alan and Cheryl) on Monday with NCSG reps (Kathryn Kleiman and Konstantinos Komaitis) followed by discussions through yesterday were successful in providing background and a context to the BC position on the IRT Report. Initially on the Council list the NCSG had indicated and unwillingness of the IRT being available as a resource. Summary of points for discussion that were discussed were (subject to them being taken back to the NCSG): Welcome the IRT and other resources being available to the GNSO Working Group working on the Board's letter regarding the RPMs (ie. STI review team). At the session on Thursday (today) express the willingness that NCSG had for reaching out constructively to the GNSO community (language discussed included reaching common ground). The GNSO passed a Resolution today with the support of the NCSG stating: The assistance of members of the IRT in answering questions about the IP Clearinghouse and Uniform Rapid Suspension System recommendations may be useful to this work. The GNSO Council requests that members of the IRT who worked on those recommendations be available to answer any such questions that may arise; I believe that possibly a more integral part than the discussion with Kathy in achieving this was the efforts of members from other Constituency(s) that may have helped mediate this resolution through. In today's session on Trademark Protection and new gTLDs (transcript attached): Kathy responded positively and at the end of her first intervention stated: '....we in the NCUC want to work with you. We want to establish common ground, and we wish the best of luck for all of us in this expedited process.' She even went as far as saying in regards the IRT URS recommendation for Appeal: '.....and I have to say it, and I guess I'm on the record, the IRT kind of got this one right and let's go back to that.' This was met with equal good will by CSG members: J. Scott, now President of the IPC said: 'I worked with Kathy Kleiman, and we drafted the UDRP final version with Louis Touton and a group of other talented people, many of whom are here today................We just want to solve a problem. That's what we're here to do. We want to work with registries, registrars, NCUC. That's what we're here for. We're problem solvers. We want to solve the problem. Thank you for the opportunity, and we look forward to working together in the near future. Zahid Jamil BC Councillor said: 'First of all, I would like to acknowledge and thank Kathy for the NCUC's constructive invitation to work with goodwill. We look forward to the sentiment continuing in the GNSO. So thank you for that..........' With respect to several aspects of the IRT Solutions it seems that NCSG and BC may be able to find common ground. I am sure there must have been much discussion in the NCSG itself about taking these positions after discussing matters with the BC and other individuals. So Kudos to Kathy and Kostantino for achieving success for not letting down our discussions from Monday for which I have thanked them. Efforts of Alan and Cheryl to set up some of the atmosphere for the interaction also helped. Also in other private discussions this evening with some ALAC reps it seems that there may be even more common ground possible with the BC positions. This sentiment seems to have created an atmosphere which may enable some parties with divergent views reaching consensus on some aspects at least. I hope this interaction will also help BC, NCSG and ALAC collaborating on other issues in the future. Through private meetings tomorrow leading up to the STI session I hope this sentiment continues. Will report back after tomorrows STI meeting. Sincerely, Zahid Jamil Barrister-at-law Jamil & Jamil Barristers-at-law 219-221 Central Hotel Annexe Merewether Road, Karachi.

GNSO Participation Study
by BC Secretariat Oct. 30, 2009

Oct. 30, 2009

Dear Members Please see below from Denise Michel. I'm having problems opening the attached Word document. If members have similar problems I'll ask Denise to repost Gary --------------------- Dear GNSO Community Members: Policy Staff has done a high level analysis of constituency participation and attendance in GNSO working groups using recorded data for 11 groups from the beginning of 2008 to early September 2009. We looked at 5 gTLD-related working groups and 6 GNSO improvements-related working groups underway during this period. The attached report and related spreadsheets is intended as an inquiry to encourage further community investigation and discussion about GNSO workload and prioritization of tasks, as well as future work processes and structures. It does not purport to be a scientific or rigorous statistical examination nor does it attempt to identify hypotheses about specific underlying causes. We hope you find it useful and welcome any questions. Regards, Denise Denise Michel ICANN VP Policy
