Dear Councilors,

 

Following further consultations between the Council chairs and staff on this matter, the chairs would like to provide the attached letter for your final review before it is sent to the ICANN Board. Essentially, this is the version suggested by the RySG (per Donna’s earlier note, below) but with a single revision at the end of the second paragraph, to clarify that the GNSO’s IGO and Red Cross recommendations originated in a single PDP.

 

Please indicate any objections or concerns you may have with this proposed final version of the letter to the Board by COB in your time zone on Monday 23 May if at all possible, following which we will transmit the final letter to the Board shortly thereafter on behalf of Donna, Heather, James and the Council.

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary

Subject: [council] Draft Letter to the Board on Red Cross Names & Identifier

 

James, all

 

Following on from the discussion on the Council call yesterday about next steps in resolving the issue of permanent protection of certain Red Cross identifiers, the RySG has requested that the letter to the Board be amended to request an update/resolution of the outstanding issues related to the permanent protection of certain Red Cross identifiers and IGO acronyms. These issues have not previously been decoupled and we are concerned that if the Council suggests this as a path forward at this point it may be at the expense of resolving the remaining issues associated with IGO acronyms.

 

Proposed amendments to the letter are provided for consideration.

 

Thanks

 

Donna
