Re: [council] FW: URS follow-up
Dear Jonathan and All new Colleagues, Just to express my interest in participate in the further work with URS (as it seems we now have to). I have experience as an .xxx Arbitrator and also created the Swedish ADR Accelerated Proceeding, so I hope I can therewith add some ideas - and questions - in order to have a fast as possible final solution regarding the URS.

All, Please be aware of the following note from Olof Nordling when we next consider the URS and associated issues. Jonathan From:Olof Nordling [mailto:olof.nordling@icann.org] Sent: 21 October 2012 15:33 To: jonathan.robinson@iprota.com Cc: Kurt Pritz Subject: URS follow-up Dear Jonathan, Congratulations to your recent election as GNSO Council Chair and many thanks to you and to all Council members for the constructive discussions we had on URS matters on 18 October! The willingness to consider a drafting team to address URS implementation questions and issues is much appreciated. The subsequent URS session the same day in Toronto proved most interesting. In addition to presentations from NAF and WIPO as potential URS providers, we had the advantage of a very late addition to the agenda – a presentation from a “new entrant”, Intersponsive, intending to respond to the RFI with a proposal within the target fee, although with some adjustments of the URS provisions. Also NAF clarified that they would be able to stay within the target fee, provided reasonable limitations could be established to the current translation requirements and to the number of domain names covered by a single complaint. I realize that you and other Council members couldn’t attend this session, as it partially overlapped with the GNSO Council session, but the recording is available at <http://audio.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/urs-18oct12-en.mp3>. Furthermore, there are a number of relevant documents posted on our recently established URS web page at <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs>, notably contributions from NAF, WIPO and CAC, with considerations, proposals, some costing aspects and, most importantly, questions needing to be resolved (the NAF contribution is of particular interest in that regard). I believe these recent developments further clarifies the need for a drafting team to establish realistic implementation measures based on the URS text. I look forward to further contacts with you and the Council on this matter in the near future. Very best regards Olof
Dear Jonathan and GNSO Council, Please allow me to extend my apologies for needing to leave Toronto on Wednesday evening. As I had mentioned to a few of you, I was accepted to a highly competitive institute which certifies women to serve on public company boards and the program took place in NYC on Thursday and Friday of last week. I was disappointed to leave prior to the new council being seated and I am most looking forward to working with all of you. Jonathan, I would be happy to assist with URS as well and look forward to getting involved in other new initiatives. With my kindest regards, Jennifer jennifer c.

Jennifer, Many thanks. It would have been great to have you there on Thursday but we’ll have plenty of opportunity to work together in future. I am planning to put out a couple of thoughts on e-mail later in the week covering issues such as work prioritisation, work allocation and induction of new councillors. Look forward to picking up with these and other items on our agenda as soon as possible. It will good to maintain the momentum from Toronto since Beijing is a long time away.

All, I am not sure why we are giving this request any credibility. Sorry for my bluntness, but no one answered my questions during the GNSO session or afterwards. We seem to be conceding to ICANN that a team is necessary to revise URS policy even before seeing any of the results of the RFI which we now know there is at least one bidder that will propose doing the URS in accordance with the current policies laid out in the Guidebook for the price expected. To concede now that policy work needs to be done is conceding that the ICANN is in fact held hostage by the current vendors providing existing UDRP services. If we do indeed need to develop new policies around the URS (which at this point in time, there is no evidence that this needs to be done), I think we should address it then. But aren't we putting the cart before the horse? All of those caveats aside, if we are forced to set up a group, you can count on my participation. Thanks! Jeffrey J.

Jeff, I fully agree. However, my recollection is that we would stand by and wait for information on the basis of which we can then decide how to move forward (at least that is what I have proposed). Having people ready to take action (whatever that might be) does not do any harm. Thomas Am 25.10.2012 um 22:11 schrieb "Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>:

Dear Jonathan and All new Colleagues,
Just to express my interest in participate in the further work with URS (as it seems we now have to).
I have experience as an .xxx Arbitrator and also created the Swedish ADR Accelerated Proceeding, so I hope I can therewith add some ideas - and questions - in order to have a fast as possible final solution regarding the URS.
Best, Petter

Dear Jonathan, Congratulations to your recent election as GNSO Council Chair and many thanks to you and to all Council members for the constructive discussions we had on URS matters on 18 October! The willingness to consider a drafting team to address URS implementation questions and issues is much appreciated.
The subsequent URS session the same day in Toronto proved most interesting. In addition to presentations from NAF and WIPO as potential URS providers, we had the advantage of a very late addition to the agenda – a presentation from a “new entrant”, Intersponsive, intending to respond to the RFI with a proposal within the target fee, although with some adjustments of the URS provisions. Also NAF clarified that they would be able to stay within the target fee, provided reasonable limitations could be established to the current translation requirements and to the number of domain names covered by a single complaint.
I realize that you and other Council members couldn’t attend this session, as it partially overlapped with the GNSO Council session, but the recording is available at http://audio.icann.org/meetings/toronto2012/urs-18oct12-en.mp3. Furthermore, there are a number of relevant documents posted on our recently established URS web page at http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs, notably contributions from NAF, WIPO and CAC, with considerations, proposals, some costing aspects and, most importantly, questions needing to be resolved (the NAF contribution is of particular interest in that regard).
I believe these recent developments further clarifies the need for a drafting team to establish realistic implementation measures based on the URS text. I look forward to further contacts with you and the Council on this matter in the near future.
Very best regards Olof
