Dear Councilors,

On 7 February 2017 at 1400 UTC, Phil Corwin and Petter Rindforth – Working Group co-chairs of the GNSO PDP on IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms - will be presenting a webinar where they will discuss the Working Group’s preliminary recommendations: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2017-01-27-en.

Given the history and complexity of the topic, we hope this webinar will be helpful to Councilors and your respective community groups. A link to a sign-up form for the webinar as well as the Initial Report can be found in the webinar announcement. Please circulate the announcement to your communities, and note that the public comment period will close on 1 March 2017. For those who will not be able to attend the webinar in real-time, a recording as well as the slides will be made available.

Thanks and cheers

Mary
