Dear WG members,

As mentioned on the WG call earlier today, the Board’s reply to the GNSO Council enclosing the final “small group” proposal on IGO acronyms has just been sent. A copy is enclosed for your review and further discussion.

Staff will work with Petter and Phil to confirm the agendas for our next two meetings before ICANN57, in light of our receipt of this proposal and the status of the WG’s ongoing discussions over preliminary recommendations.

Cheers

Mary

Subject: [council] Board reply letter on IGO/RC issues and proposal on IGO acronyms protection from the IGO "small group"

Dear Councilors,

Please find attached the ICANN Board’s reply to the GNSO Council’s letter of 31 May 2016 on the topic of protections for IGOs and the Red Cross. The letter also includes the final proposal on IGO acronyms protection that was worked on by the IGO “small group” of IGO, Board and GAC representatives, facilitated by ICANN staff as appropriate.

We will also transmit a copy of this to the co-chairs of the GNSO IGO-INGO Curative Rights Protections PDP Working Group and the GAC.

Best regards,

Mary
