Thanks both Mary and Phil for this background information!

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Thanks for that feedback, Mary.

 

The bottom line here is that we didn’t want to come in with a misleading or lowball budget estimate and then have to subsequently come back to Council; can’t be fully sure of the funding requirements until WG members and staff interact with an expert contractor; and will have to agree on a specific appropriation for this data collection with ICANN financial.

 

I hope that background is useful. If there are further questions in advance of tomorrow’s call please let us know.

 

Best to all, Philip

Dear Wolf-Ulrich and everyone,

 

The initial minimum estimate of US$50,000 was made based on input staff received about the minimum amount that it was likely to cost to engage a professional survey designer. The final amount will depend in part on a detailed analysis to be conducted if the Council approves the Working Group’s request – for example, whether there are existing sources that can be tapped for information to develop the survey questions, and the outcome of initial discussions with potential contractors over what they think is needed to design, launch and implement such a survey. The full scope of work for the contractor, as opposed to work that can be taken on by the Working Group and/or staff, will also depend on the amount that ICANN Organization is able to make available during this financial year for this one project, and whether the Council approves the entire request or just parts of it.

 

Staff notes that, even if a professional survey designer is approved and contracted, there will still need to be additional work on the part of the Working Group and support staff to collaborate with the selected contractor to scope out the details, especially in designing the final survey questions and identifying and reaching the target groups of respondents.

 

I hope this is helpful.

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary

Thanks Phil,

I have just one question regarding the request which you may answer at the council call. The budget requested is "at minimum 50 k$US". What are the uncertainties , and is there an estimation to what extent it could affect the budget required?

Thanks and regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Fellow Councilors:

 

With able staff assistance, the WG Co-Chairs prepared this summary in the hope that it anticipates and answers many of the questions that may arise in regard to our DMPM request and related Motion, and therefore expedite the Council’s discussion of this matter when it comes up during our call this coming Wednesday.

 

Best regards, Philip

Subject: [council] FOR INFORMATION & DISCUSSION: Summary of Data Request from RPM Working Group co-chairs

 

Dear Councilors,

 

As you know, the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) PDP Working Group has submitted a request for Council approval in relation to resources needed to conduct an extensive data gathering exercise, in accordance with the principles developed by the GNSO’s Data & Metrics for Policy Making Working Group. The motion and request is on the Council’s meeting agenda for its upcoming 20 September call.

 

To facilitate the Council’s review of the data request, the RPM Working Group co-chairs have prepared the attached summary. We hope you will find it useful. The motion and full data request can be found on the Council’s wiki page at https://community.icann.org/x/yiIhB (motion) and https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/rpm-sunrise-trademark-claims-07sep17-en.pdf (request).

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary
