Phil,


These changes address the concern -- thanks.  I deleted one addtional sentence (attached) dealing with sanctions, which when changed to the "mechanism" point didn't really mean anything.  Since we are steering away from ordering sanctions, I think it's best to delete it.

Subject: [bc-gnso] Revised Draft #3 of UDRP Provider Standard Mechanisms Position Paper
Importance: High

Attached is a 3rd draft of the BC position paper, in both redline and clean form.

 

This draft incorporates recent input from Sarah, Philip, and others. It excises all reference to “contract” or “sanctions” in the UDRP context. The basic message is that no new UDRP providers should be accredited until ICANN establishes a “standard mechanism” for their oversight that includes “flexible and effective means of enforcement”. It leaves the details of what that mechanism and means should be to future consideration.

 

The current draft reflects suggested textual changes and comments from more than half a dozen members of the BC. As the internal comment process has now lasted almost one week, and as the comment filing date is one week from tomorrow, I would suggest that we leave the current draft open for further comments until the end of tomorrow (other than formatting and other typographical alterations) and then lock it down and use the appropriate process to assure that there is a consensus within the BC for filing it. I defer to Marilyn, Steve and others on the approval procedure.

 

Thanks again to all who have provided input on this matter.

 

Best to all,

Philip
