Indeed Marilyn. You are
right. The members at the meeting agreed
but the draft position will be posted to the list for input allowing members
that were not in the meeting to also have the opportunity to comment.

Zahid, just one clarification. Otherwise fully agree.
We agreed, i think, that the members
that we had to reach an agreement within the members who were in the
room, and based on the emails that were being posted to the list.
That's the going in position, right?
We all realize that we are relying upon the earlier BC positions, but modified
by the evolving situation, right? and realizing that we had to try to reach a
'rough' consensus within the meeting.

Thanks for the
query Michael,
The BC meeting
yesterday led to member’s developing a position. I would suggest that it
is up to our membership which (minus one member) agreed to proposals that were
discussed in the constructive session moderated by Mike R.

Zahid,
Is it really constructive to advocate
positions that go above and beyond the initial recommendations contained in the
IRT?
Best regards,
Michael

TM Clearinghouse:
1.
Sunrise processes must be standardized and mandatory.
2.
TM notices (misnamed “IP claims”) must be mandatory:
a. All applications for newTLD domain registrations will
be checked against the TMC, regardless whether application is during sunrise
period or thereafter
b. If applied-for domain string anywhere contains text of
trademark listed in TMC, then TM notice given to applicant per proposal listed
in Staff recommendation, if domain is registered then TM owner is notified
c. TM owners will have option also to trigger notices in
the event that applied-for domain string includes the trademark string altered
by typographical errors, as determined by an algorithmic tool. For
example, yaho0.new would trigger a notice if Yahoo! elected to exercise this
option.
d. Domain applicant must affirmatively respond to the TM
notice, either on screen or email, and registrar must maintain written records
of such responses for every domain name. TM owner must get notice of
every registration that occurs.
URS:
1. Process as detailed by Staff must be mandatory in all
newTLD registries
a.
Substantive standard of UDRP must be exactly
replicated in URS
2. Successful complainant must have option to transfer
the name or cancel, if no appeal filed within 90 days from date of URS
decision.
a.
Successful complainant must also have option to have
domain suspended until end of its current registration term, and then
indefinitely flagged
b.
Flag shall be recorded in clearinghouse so that if
anyone seeks to register such name(s) again, they would get a notice.
3. Complainant abuse shall be defined same as Reverse
Domain Name Hijacking under UDRP.
4. Meaningful appeal process required, Staff hasn’t made
any proposal on that yet, so we cannot comment.

BC position on TM Clearinghouse and URS, notes for
preliminary statement:
Note the attendance at the meeting (Philip has it).
TMC -- sunrise processes must be standard AND
mandatory IP claims, POST-launch – unanimous except Palage -- scope of
what triggers a hit, proposal is vague as to ‘yahoo’, or ‘yahoomail’ or ‘yaho0’
or ‘yahhoo’?? We require notice if TM string is replicated anywhere in
the domain name that is applied for (except Palage). TM owners can elect
how widely the notices would be sent, either to exact matches anywhere in the
name, or also algorithmic typos. Domain applicant MUST affirmatively
respond to the notice, either on screen or email. TM owner must get
notice of every registration that occurs.
URS – mandatory in all newTLD registries (unanimous
except for ICA, who thinks in effect it will be adopted by everyone anyway);
substantive standard of UDRP must be exactly replicated in URS; procedural
elements and evidentiary threshold of Staff proposal; sanctions for complainant
abuse (abuse defined same as Reverse Domain Name Hijacking under UDRP);
meaningful appeal process required, Staff hasn’t made any proposal on that yet,
so we cannot comment. Successful complainant must have option to transfer
the name or cancel, if no appeal filed within 90 days from date of URS
decision. Some members also would support an indefinite suspension,
recorded in clearinghouse so that if anyone seeks to register again, they would
get a notice.
GPML – VRZN, Nokia, NetChoice & Marilyn think it
should still be on the table, but not a deal-breaker, nobody else supports
leaving it on the table.
