Hello All: I was wondering if the BC had any comment on WIPO's comments that calls for an administrative process whereby trademark owners can bring a claim against an ICANN accredited registrar? Unlike the current IRT proposal that appears focused on ICANN accredited "REGISTRIES" this process seems to proposal an expanse to ICANN accredited "REGISTRARS" We recommend an analogous dispute resolution procedure for ICANN-accredited registrars. The WIPO proposal for a post-delegation procedure was at first instance intended for registries within the context of ICANN's New gTLD Program, and motivated in part by a perception of converging registry, registrar, and registrant roles in the DNS. That same argument also applies to registrars in their potential relationship to trademark abuse. A recent illustration is the observed conduct of one particular registrar, reported in a WIPO Center letter of April 9, 2009 to ICANN, and the latter's subsequent Notice of Breach. See http://www.icann.org/correspondence/wilbers-to-pritz-18jun09-en.pdf Will the BC leadership be reaching out to develop a constituency position on this recommendation? Best regards, Michael
