Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Question about ICANN General Counsel report on USPTO practice relating to IGO identifiers protected by Article 6ter
by Mary Wong Sept. 16, 2014

Sept. 16, 2014

Dear all, Staff thought we should follow up on George¹s question regarding ICANN General Counsel¹s point on the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) process relating to IGOs and Article 6ter. We hope that the following information from the USPTO will help: http://tmep.uspto.gov/RDMS/mashup/html/page/manual/TMEP/Apr2014/TMEP-1200d1e 4645.xml The link briefly describes generally how a country deals with a notification of a protected IGO under Article 6ter (including the treaty-prescribed period for national objections) as well as the USPTO¹s practice regarding attempted trademark registrations in this regard.

Kind regards, Nathalie ------------------------------- Adobe Connect chat transcript for Monday 15 September 2014: Nathalie Peregrine:Dear all, welcome to the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection PDP WG Meeting on the 15h September 2014 Val Sherman:Hello All! Jim Bikoff, David Heasley and Griffin Barnett also on call Osvaldo Novoa:Hello all! George Kirikos:Hi folks. Nathalie Peregrine:thanks Val, noted Mary Wong:Hello everyone George Kirikos:Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mary Wong:Not too bad, George, from my side, thanks! Hope you did! Jay Chapman:Hi, Everyone George Kirikos:Hi Jay. Nat Cohen:Hello all George Kirikos:Hey Nat. Nathalie Peregrine:Kristine Dorrain has joined the AC room Mary Wong:I can also pull up the full Gantt chart if you like, Phil. Nathalie Peregrine:Reg Levy has joined the AC room Petter Rindforth:I am happy to join Sub Group A Nathalie Peregrine:Imran Ahmed Shah is also in the AC room Mary Wong:@Petter, noted, thanks Reg - M+M:Has Cheryl Langdon-Orr been called? Nathalie Peregrine:Paul Keating has joined the AC room Nathalie Peregrine:Cheryl is not a member of this group Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Is it a given that I'm on subgroup A? :) I hope so. Petter Rindforth:I welcome you!!! Mary Wong:@Kristine, I think so! :) Philip Corwin:I will join B paul Keating:paul keating. i would also like to join B George Kirikos:I'd be happy to join B. George Kirikos:For the 3rd part of Group A, I'd suggest getting ALL, rather than a "representative sample". George Kirikos:Because, there are so few who've filed UDRP/URS amongst IGOs/INGOs, that if we shrink that to a "sample", it won't be statistically significant. paul Keating:agreed. there cannot be that many. i would also like to see the complaints and any responses relative the the UDRP/URS Mary Wong:There is a wiki page that lists George's suggestions for finding data - https://community.icann.org/x/48PhAg George Kirikos:In the background materials from Friday, some of those case studies were ancient, i.e. 12 years old. George Kirikos:Which is 84 years in dog years/internet years. :-) Kristine Dorrain-NAF:I agree, George. Just know that going through over 40,000 UDRP decisions will take a while. We don't separate cases by complainant type and I don't think WIPO does either, even I reach out and ask them to help me. so my presentation will not fully address Item 3. George Kirikos:And, they're merely anecdotal, rather than scientific research studies that comprehensively survey a sample of the universe of IGOs/INGOs. paul Keating:can we obtain copies of the I/Ngo submissions to the prior WG Mary Wong:@George, understood - that was also noted in the Issue Report for this WG. Mary Wong:@Paul, there were Minority Statements published as part of the Final Report for that PDP WG. I will find the link. Mary Wong:Some of the Background Documents - some of which we'll cover under Item 3 - have references and informaton in them too. George Kirikos:Agree with Phil --- I think having 6 or 7+ team members for group B might help a lot. paul Keating:how does one become designated as an IGO or INGO?? Paul Tattersfield:Is there single list of the 40,000 decisions? George Kirikos:UDRPSearch.com has nearly all of them indexed. Mary Wong:@Paul, this was a question tackled in a number of prior efforts. For this WG, we are following the list developed by our predecessor WG. George Kirikos:But, there are....5 UDRP providers? Plus the defunct eResolution. George Kirikos:Agree with speaker --- if not on the calls, a broad survey (ie. outreach) is needed. Imran Ahmed Shah:Please count me in Sub WG B Kristine Dorrain-NAF:George, WIPO and NAF have about 97 or 98% of the cases, the rest of the providers are probably pretty easily surveyed. George Kirikos:True, Kristine. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:And even though UDRP Search has them all, there is still the question of how to run queries. Most UDRP decisions will not contain the term "NGO". paul Keating:@mary, if we are to consider a curative remedy we need to understand how one can take advantage. there must be a basic "standing" issue. George Kirikos:Kristine: I think to find them, one would have to work backwards. Find the ones that aren't IGOs (e.g. search for "Inc." or "Lego", etc. as a complainant, and remove those from the database. George Kirikos:Keep removing them, and then manually review the leftovers. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Interesting strategy.... :) Petter Rindforth:I presume it is possible to find them by searching for the name of the Complainant Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Yes, that would work depending on how many NGOs there are. I just heard someone say 5K? George Kirikos:No, it's much larger, Kristine. George Kirikos:That Yearbook had something like 60,000+ entries. George Kirikos:http://www.uia.org/yearbook George Kirikos:(66,000 entries) Petter Rindforth:Well we are 3 in the Sub WG, let's take 20 000 each ;-) Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Funny... Reg - M+M:Creating yet another dispute resolution process when one is already in place is needlessly confusing. Reg - M+M:and burdensom George Kirikos:Reg: there are lots of other reasons to be concerned. Because, the "immunity" issue has only ever been used as a "shielf". George Kirikos:oops, "shield" Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Reg, at initial glance, I hear you. A lot. But trying to have one policy with "two tracks" I think is fraught with danger at confusing panelists and providers. George Kirikos:Not as a "sword", whereby the IGOs/INGOs can compel a 3rd party to be forced to defend outside their National Courts. Reg - M+M:These two IGOs (and the others that have been included because it was noticed that they were seeking special treatment) have avenues they can pursue, by treaty, trying to get special treatment through ICANN is, again, unnecessary George Kirikos:e.g. if an IGO/INGO breaks my window, and I sue them for $500, they can claim immunity from a Toronto court. Reg - M+M:+1 George Kirikos George Kirikos:But, if I break their window, and they want $1000 from me, they can't force me to go to a UN-run arbitration. paul Keating:@Mary, it is also possible to conclude nothing is required? George Kirikos:I hope the members of Group A can gather stats on how many UDRPs are ever appealed to courts. George Kirikos:Because, that's a critical statistic. paul Keating:@george, they rely upon others to inform them. George Kirikos:IGOs/INGOs concerned about immunity are concerned that if they won a UDRP, the registrant would appeal to a court. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:George, that's almost impossible to know. George Kirikos:If only a small fractionof cases are ever appealed, then there's no real concern. George Kirikos:Kristine: It's not impossible. Registrars must transfer within 10 days, unless there's an appeal to courts. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Yes, but they don't have to tell us. Kristine Dorrain-NAF:and most don't. George Kirikos:So, Registrars would certainly know how many times they had to hold off on a transfer, because of a legal action. George Kirikos:Registrars would have the data. E.g. GoDaddy Legal, Tucows Legal, NSI, etc. George Kirikos:The top 10 registrars can be asked for their stats (presumably they account for a large share of UDRPs). Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Registrar's do get court orders. Whether or not they sort them by "post UDRP" or "no UDRP" would be interesting. Petter Rindforth:George - good idea and duly noticed Reg - M+M:Kristine, can you speak to the confusion-for-panels issue and how that might indicate that IGOs don't deserve the rights/special treatment they're claiming? paul Keating:@phil, this is key for standing purposes Kristine Dorrain-NAF:Yes, Reg, I can include that in my presentation next week, if that's ok? George Kirikos:Those lists were posted to the Wiki, I think. Reg - M+M:sure, thank you paul Keating:@mary, does the Paris Convention contain a definition for NGO? Mary Wong:@Paul, I don't believe so. George Kirikos:Question: Will ICANN staff support be available to each of the Sub Groups? (and do we have some budgets, e.g. to go out and obtain the yearbook, etc.)? paul Keating:@phil, what does it take to be an NGO or INGO? Mary Wong:@George, our practice is to have each Sub Group organize themselves and request he support they need. paul Keating:so it sounds like......i am an NGO because I say so and have a number of influential people who say I am? George Kirikos:ISO is on the reserved list. Mary Wong:@George, that's actually the Int'l Sugar Org, not the Intl' Standards Org, ... Mary Wong:I think Mary Wong:@Jim, that would be Claudia McMaster Tamarit? George Kirikos:Oh, ok. paul Keating:@Phil, we need to test the list and be caredul not to accept prior lists. paul Keating:@phil, cannot speak. paul Keating:please read out my questions.... paul Keating:convention George Kirikos:Paris Convention Petter Rindforth:Maybe Mary can make a quick info on our new dates for meetings? George Kirikos:http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/text.jsp?file_id=288514 George Kirikos:(Article 6) George Kirikos:+1 Phil Jay Chapman:Agree, Phil George Kirikos:We can hold a "draft" to allocate those who've not volunteered themselves to a subgroup, yet. :-) Imran Ahmed Shah:good idea George Kirikos:Next week, we'll be on Wednesday, correct? Mary Wong:Should staff put that in the email, George? :) Mary Wong:Yes Mary Wong:Weds at 1600 UTC George Kirikos:So, next steps? By next week, allocate the Sub GRoups? George Kirikos:Any other "takeaways" from today? paul Keating:thank you all. Mary Wong:Thanks everyone paul Keating:i need to sign off. thanks for the call Petter Rindforth:Thanks! George Kirikos:Bye everyone. Jay Chapman:Good day, everyone Paul Tattersfield:thanks all Imran Ahmed Shah:Good Bye

Future WG meetings: confirming day and time
by Mary Wong Sept. 12, 2014

Sept. 12, 2014

Dear WG members, With more than half the WG members having completed the Doodle poll, the WG Co-Chairs have decided that starting from the week of 22 September, future WG meetings will take place every Wednesday at 1600 UTC. Although it was impossible to find a day and time that would accommodate everyone, this was the slot that affected the fewest members. We hope that if you encounter any difficulties with a recurring Wednesday meeting, you¹ll still continue to participate in this WG as each call is recorded and transcribed, and because we also expect much substantive discussion to occur not just during the calls but also via this mailing list. Please note that this does not affect the upcoming Monday 15 September meeting, which will go ahead as scheduled at 1900 UTC. The first meeting that will take place pursuant to the selected slot will be after that, on Wednesday 24 September and the GNSO Secretariat will issue calendar invitations and reminders accordingly. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org

Dear WG members, Please find below a proposed agenda for the upcoming WG call on Monday 15 September, which staff have suggested to our Co-Chairs but have not yet had a chance to discuss more fully. As such, it is subject to any changes that they may wish to make between now and our call: 1. Roll Call/Updates to SOIs 2.

Next steps For agenda item #3, we have added some documents comprising research, findings and other reports used by the original IGO-INGO PDP WG for its Final Report that was issued in November 2013. Among the documents added, WG members may wish to note in particular: > (1) the ICANN General Counsel¹s research report to that WG from May 2013 > (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/ICANN%20GCO%20Rep… > t%20to%20IGO%20INGO%20PDP%20WG%20May%202013.doc?version=1&modificationDate=141 > 0554576915&api=v2); > (2) Annex 4 of the Final Issue Report that led to the initiation of that WG > from October 2012 > (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/Final%20GNSO%20Is… > e%20Report%20on%20the%20Protection%20of%20International%20Organization%20Names > %20in%20New%20gTLDs.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1410554706870&api=v2); > (3) The OECD¹s report on cybersquatting to WIPO¹s Standing Committee on > Trademarks (SCT) from 2002 > (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/OECD%20Report%20o… > 20Cybersquatting%20to%20WIPO%20SCT%202002.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=14105 > 54353329&api=v2); > (4) The Red Cross movement¹s report on special protections to WIPO¹s SCT from > 2002 > (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/IFRC%20Report%20t… > 20WIPO%20SCT%20on%20Special%20Protections%202002.pdf?version=1&modificationDat > e=1410554389301&api=v2); and > (5) The WIPO Secretariat¹s report on IGO protections, also from 2002 > (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/48347918/WIPO%20Secretaria… > 20Report%20on%20IGO%20Protections%202002.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=141055 > 4411330&api=v2). ICANN staff will summarize some of the key findings from these documents for further WG review and discussion under agenda item #3. We hope that this will provide a useful basis for WG members to decide on next steps in accordance with the proposed Work Plan (agenda item #4).

Kind regards, Nathalie ------------------------------- Nathalie Peregrine:Dear all, welcome to the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protection PDP WG Meeting on the 8th September 2014 Nathalie Peregrine:Audio has been enabled in the AC room Jay Chapman:Hi Nathalie. Where will I find a dial-in number for audio? Nathalie Peregrine:on the email invitation Nathalie Peregrine:where are you based? Jay Chapman:got it. the email was curtailed Nathalie Peregrine:ok great! Reg - M+M:Is audio dial-in only? Mary Wong:@Reg, thre's audio in the Adobe Connect room as well. Mary Wong:And you can also turn on your mic for speaking purposes in AC. Val Sherman:Hello All. Also dialed in, along with Griffin Barnett and David Heasley Reg - M+M:Okay, just no one's speaking right now :) Reg - M+M:thanks! Nathalie Peregrine:noted! Mary Wong:You're most welcome! Reg - M+M:I am a new member in the sense that this is my first call—but my SOI is updated. George Kirikos:Will this be a 1 hour call, or 90 mins? Nathalie Peregrine:Osvaldo Novoa and Alexander Lerman have joined the ca;; Nathalie Peregrine:@ Gearge, 60 mins George Kirikos:Great, thanks. Nathalie Peregrine:Imran Ahmed Shah has joined the call George Kirikos:Q: Has this been acknowledged by the entire board, or just the subset of the board in the New GTLDs Committee? George Kirikos:(there was some debate on that on the GNSO Council mailing list, so it was unclear) Kristine Dorrain-NAF:sorry to introduce myself and run but I had short notice on this meeting and have a conflict. See you all next week! Petter Rindforth:yes, you are correct Imran Ahmed Shah:I suggest that we the WG members should be provided with the access to the databases to have a look onto them before the discussion about recommendations or discussion starts. George Kirikos:Do you mean the TMCH database, Imran? Or some other ones? Imran Ahmed Shah:yes also the other databases like yearbook of IGO, IGNO and others George Kirikos:Right, I suggested those, although they're very expensive -- hopefully ICANN can either buy it, or ask for it to be free (since we're using it for "academic" or "research" purposes) Imran Ahmed Shah:yes, Imran Ahmed Shah:I agree that we will need to review for policy development process George Kirikos:The Doodle poll was fairly even --- conceivably we could rotate the dates/times? Mary Wong:@George, if possible we'd like to avoid that as from past experience that's proven more confusing than we'd thought :) George Kirikos:Ok. :) Imran Ahmed Shah:It is fine for me to both Mon or Tue same time Imran Ahmed Shah:altou its 00 mid night, but some times its ok Kathy Kleiman:Mondays are good for me. Reg - M+M:fine for me George Kirikos:I'll be fine with this time, personally, for most weeks. George Kirikos:(can't speak for others who aren't present, though) Jay Chapman:next Mon works - not all will Imran Ahmed Shah:And what will be the agenda of next meeting? George Kirikos:Can we have the draft work plan well in advance of the next meeting? George Kirikos:(if we're just seeing it for the first time next Monday, we won't be able to put forth meaningful comments/analysis) Imran Ahmed Shah:yes, it will be helpful to review Mary Wong:@George, the idea is to share it with the WG as much prior to Monday as we can :) George Kirikos:Thanks, Mary. Kathy Kleiman:But that is not knowledge now held by this WG Mary Wong:Staff can circulate the documents that Jim mentioned for this WG's review. Kathy Kleiman:@Mary: great George Kirikos:Correct about the IOC. THe question is, if they're exercising the rights, why change the status quo? Imran Ahmed Shah:I do not agree that without looking onto the data and information, we will be preparing right policy George Kirikos:(and that's part of the scope of this group, i.e. IGO/INGOs concerned about immunity, etc.) Kathy Kleiman:But what analysis has been done of the scope of protection of an IGO with a very general name, e.g., World Health Organization? George Kirikos:Yes, Kathy. e.g. for ISO, there are registered TMs for gloves, etc. Kathy Kleiman:The concern is that many similar organizations, with similar missions, and no intent to infringe, easily overlap in these highly descriptive names. George Kirikos:So, part of our work should be an examination, i.e. going out and getting all the data, to measure the extent of the problems, concurrent uses, etc. Mary Wong:One distinction between an IGO and an INGO is the different "hurdles" each has with using the UDRP and URS. For instance, IGOs have a jurisdictional immunity issue that INGOs do not have - this was in the Issue Report as a basis for the Council to initiate the PDP. Mary Wong:@George, we are hoping that NAF and WIPO can assist us in that regard (data etc.) George Kirikos:By, for example, surveying all IGOs/INGOs directly, we can actually get more scientific data, rather than ad hoc data like we currently have from a few voices. George Kirikos:(if we have the budget to go out and send a mass mailing, for example) George Kirikos:Looks like we're close to 4 pm. George Kirikos:Bye everyone. Imran Ahmed Shah:Thansk Kathy Kleiman:Tx!

George Kirikos:Oops, I meant Doodle.com Paul Keating:Paul Keaeting: I would like to nominate Mr. Mason from Dounuts. I feel that it would be a good start to have someone from outside of the enforcement side. Imran Shah:Yes, Would you explain the Leadership positions, as you told two Vice Chair, Imran Shah:and what others George Kirikos:Perhaps we can defer the chair selection, until the mailing list can be consulted? George Kirikos:(since not everyone could make it today) George Kirikos:Someone's ringtone? Mary Wong:We will send a note to the full mailing list after the call today. Paul Keating:Could you please review for the group what is expected of the chair? Paul Keating:thank you Paul Keating:thank you Paul Keating:Mary, will the ICANN staff assist in providing research materials or are members of teh WG responsible for such research? George Kirikos:Do we have a budget? There is a yearbook listing IGOs and INGOs at: Paul Keating:I ws thi9nking mor ealong the lines such as soverign immunity issues. George Kirikos:http://www.uia.org/yearbook but it is very costly. George Kirikos:(over 2,000 Euros per year, and it's unclear if we can share access) Paul Keating:thank you Imran Shah:with reference to the Charter statement, as it is stated .... whether to amend the UDRP and URS "to allow access to and use of these mechanisms by"...... IGOs and INGOs, ,.. My question is that is it not yet Accessible to them or not? George Kirikos:Imran: That's not correct. UDRP has been utilized by the Red Cross in the past, for example. George Kirikos:Some IGOs/INGOs are concerned about agreeing to various jurisdictions, in the event that a UDRP/URS is appealed to a real court, though. George Kirikos:(i.e. some claim they have "immunity" from national courts) Paul Keating:Would ICANN staff kindly provide a summary of those already approved and those which are pending (and at what stage they are pending)? And, would Staff kindly undertake to update that information for the WG? Mary Wong:@Paul, yes and yes Mary Wong:For starters, the Final Report (and recommendations) from the prior WG as well as the Final Issue Report leadng to our current WG are posted on our WG wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/DrvhAg George Kirikos:There isn't one. George Kirikos:List of active GNSO projects at: http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active Imran Shah:Regarding frequency of meeting, I think weekly 2 hour meeting will become highly loaded, and suggest after two or more weeks. George Kirikos:We need data on the extent of the problem, to answer that. George Kirikos:So, that seems to be a threshold matter. Paul Keating:I would also suggest that we have a presentation by 1 or 2 NGO/IGOs so we can hear from them direcdtly what the issues really are. Paul Keating:I completely agree George Kirikos:Yes, Mary. I think getting that Yearbook would he helpful, as it lists all IGOs/INGOs. Paul Keating:some ideas for cattegories: George Kirikos:But, I'm not payin 2000 Euros to pay for it. :-) Petter Rindforth:Very good, thanks Paul Keating:number of UDRP/URS filings by IGO/NGOs and their outcome Paul Keating:Presentations by NGO/IGOs ato detail actual issues they face. George Kirikos:Mute your PC. Paul Keating:Number of NGO/IGOs with registered trademarks George Kirikos:Can't hear you.... John McGrann:Good points there Paul George Kirikos:Some Article 6ter marks are listed in the USPTO. Paul Keating:I could not hear all that Nat said. Imran Shah:One more question, should we have to meet in person at ICANN meetings ? George Kirikos:I didn't hear Nat either. Mary Wong:@Imran, if the WG thinks it would be timely, we can arrange for a meeting slot at an ICANN meeting - of course, full remote participation facilities will be avialable for those who are not prsent in person. George Kirikos:Nat maybe forgot to lower his hand? Paul Keating:my audio is not working for output Nat Cohen:George, I was agreeing with you that it is a threshold issue why the NGOs and INGOs Nat Cohen:yes - sorry, forgot to lower my hand Jay Chapman:I agree with Paul and George as well on investigating just what the problem/s is/are George Kirikos:The phone quality is very good, in case folks might want to try things at future meetings. Nat Cohen:I wonder about people's vacation plans during August Paul Keating:Also, can we set a time limit for calls? Nat Cohen:May be better to postpone the next call til September when most people will be back from vacations Paul Keating:Also, August is holiday time and I suggest we have the next call the 1st week in Sept? Claudia MacMaster Tamarit (ISO):On that note, I have other obligations to attend to. Thank you again. It is a privilege to join you. George Kirikos:Nice meeting you, Claudia. George Kirikos:We should definitely make sure that there is an agenda for each meeting, as sometimes it gets overloaded with admin stuff that can/should be handled on the mailing list. George Kirikos:(i.e. meetings should be for stuff that can't easily be done via the mailing list) Paul Keating:George, Can you mentione these points orally (I cannot do so). Pera is not apparently reading the c hat. Paul Keating:time limit, agenda and next meeting in Sept. George Kirikos:I'll try....raised my hands. Paul Keating:Thanks George George Kirikos:No problem. Imran Shah:Yes, I think we can resolve the time limitation through active mailing list, and sharing the informeation through maling list. Even, it is useful, if some one has some query or some comments, they shoould not wait for next meeting. John McGrann:Can we please set the time for each meeting depending on how often we are meeting?If we meet every fornight and have a scheduled one hour meetingcan be short? George Kirikos:Labour Day in Canada/USA is Sept 1st this year. Paul Keating:Mary, I think that you should only ask their availability for presentation instead of securing a date specifically for them to appear. We can then set it within the agenda. Imran Shah:So, next we have at least three items, doodle for meeting time, and frwquency, the information sharing and the election nomination and finalization for the Election dates. Paul Keating:Pera, please read teh chat. Mary Wong:@Paul, ok, thank you Paul Keating:agreed. Mary Wong:Note that this meeting was scheduled for 90 minutes. George Kirikos:We're coming close to the 90 minutes, by the way (so we might start losing some people soon). Mary Wong:Staff will follow up with a summary email to the mailing list plus a Doodle poll. George Kirikos:Great minds think alike, Mary. :-) Mary Wong::) John McGrann:Is there any way to maximise the chat area? Mary Wong:We'll look into it George Kirikos:Bye for now, everyone. Mary Wong:Thank you all Paul Keating:thank you all, and Mary Nat Cohen:Thank you John McGrann:Thanks everyone Imran Shah:Thanks Jay Chapman:Thanks, all
