Agenda for WG meeting this week and NEW draft Deliberations section of WG Initial Report
by Mary Wong Dec. 6, 2016

Dec. 6, 2016

Dear all, The proposed agenda for our Working Group meeting this Thursday is as follows: 1. Roll call and updates to Statements of Interest 2. Review of discussions at ICANN57 – GAC Communique and WG open session 3. Confirm WG comments in draft Initial Report concerning its review of the IGO Small Group Proposal 4. Confirm intended date of publication of Initial Report and other milestones leading to the Final Report 5. Any other business For #2, here is the link to the GAC Communique: https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27132037/GAC%20ICANN%2057%20C…, and to the transcript of the Working Group session at ICANN57: http://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann572016/c3/Transcript%20IGO-INGO%20CRP%20Hy…. We note that a link to the slides that were used at that WG session had been circulated previously (see below). In addition, for #2, WG members may wish to consider the question that was raised by the representative of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) who attended the WG open session: “whether [standing kicks in at the time that a notification is submitted to WIPO or whether it kicks in once it's disseminated to all of the Paris Convention member countries and whether they decide whether or not to reject or not reject that notification.” For #3, please find attached an initial draft of what will be Section 4 (Deliberations of the PDP Working Group) of our Initial Report (where Section 6 – which we have been discussing – contains our Preliminary Recommendations). As noted previously, Section 4 complements Section 6 by providing both the process background and related narrative to the actual text of the preliminary recommendations. For purposes of the call this week, staff suggests a focus on Section 4.4 (where the process background and the WG’s conclusions on the Small Group Proposal are described and tabulated). We are also attaching a clean copy of the latest version of Section 6, updated following the last WG call before ICANN57. Please note that in the interests of getting the draft Deliberations document out to everyone as soon as we could, staff has not yet done a full sweep through the Section 6 document to spot overlaps and gaps. Thanks and cheers Mary From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 12:23 To: "gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org" <gnso-igo-ingo-crp(a)icann.org> Subject: Slides from the Working Group's open community discussion at ICANN57 Dear all, The slides from our Working Group’s open session yesterday at ICANN57, where our likely initial recommendations were presented to the community, are available here: http://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann572016/35/Updated%20IGO-INGO%20CRP%20WG%20….

Preliminary report presentation this morning
by Lori Schulman Nov. 7, 2016

Nov. 7, 2016

My apologies for missing the presentation of the preliminary report as it is cross scheduled with the second part of the IPC meeting this morning. I am an IPC officer so I needed to be there. I realize that I have missed at least the last 2 meetings. There have been too many schedule conflicts and, hopefully, there will fewer conflicts in the future. INTA is having a reception tonight at the AVASA Hotel roof top from 6-8, please feel free to attend. I would love to see everyone outside of the working group for a change. Lori Lori S. Schulman Senior Director, Internet Policy International Trademark Association (INTA) +1-202-704-0408, Skype: lsschulman

Disturbing Letter from IGOs to GNSO
by George Kirikos Nov. 2, 2016

Nov. 2, 2016

Hi folks, I noticed a letter has been sent from the IGOs to the GNSO Council, see: http://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/igos-to-gnso-31oct16-en.pdf I'm disturbed by page 2, where it says that: "This compromise proposal follows on years of comprehensive negotiations involving representatives of the ICANN Board, the GAC, IGOs and ICANN staff." which not just implies, but openly states that the ICANN Board and ICANN staff are undermining the work of this PDP. Some clarification from the ICANN Board and Staff would seem to be essential at this point. What have we been doing for the past 2 years on this PDP, if they've been in secret negotiations with the apparent blessing and active participation of the Board and Staff of ICANN? Beyond that, there are no *new facts* to speak of in this letter that should change our policy work. The 2nd paragraph of page 1 in particular shows that they're just like anybody else who experiences abuse on the internet, and while they claim to be "special", they are not. The arguments they make are the exact same that a for-profit or a non-profit who isn't an IGO would make about "waste of precious resources." Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
