Personally, after some thought, I think it would have been best for all responses to have been to the mailing list, so that all PDP members had equal and transparent access to the survey results (given ICANN is supposed to operate as transparently as possible). Is there a public link to the survey responses? I already closed the survey, but here's my response, paraphrased from my best memory (others might want to post their views, too), is (no surprises here): 1. "Support" --- first best option; ensures due process and supremacy of the legal system; initiation of a UDRP doesn't affect legal rights, regardless of who is the initiator (IGO or non-IGO complainant) 2. "Support" --- second best option, compared with "Option A". Takes into account that IGOs pushed for this review due to fears of cybersquatting in new gTLDs (although Option C would apply to newly created domains regardless of gTLD). 3. "Do Not Support" -- if the old Option #6 was *fully* incorporated into Option C (namely, registrars being instructed that they must freeze the domain name if a judicial review is sought "in rem" by the registrant, instead of just "in personam" as it is now the case), I might update to "I can live with this option", but "Option C" is still not fully fleshed out so I must vote "Do Not Support" Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/ On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 4:39 PM, Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org> wrote:
Dear Working Group members,
At the direction of the co-chairs and with their approval, staff has prepared the following survey that we are asking all members to fill out by 1800 UTC on Monday 23 October. The purpose of the survey is to enable Phil and Petter to determine the level of preliminary consensus amongst all members for each of the three options under discussion, relating to the situation where a respondent has filed court proceedings against an IGO and the IGO has successfully claimed immunity in that court. As our open community session at ICANN60 will be devoted to a presentation and discussion of all our proposed final recommendations, it is important for Phil and Petter to know which option is the most preferred at this stage.
Link to survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VCP8VKD
Link to background materials: https://community.icann.org/x/64ZEB (you will find the slides used by Petter and Phil to present all the proposed final recommendations and options during the webinar last week, as well as the most current version of the Options A, B and C document, under Background Documents. Please be sure to review these to familiarize yourself with the full details of the three options).
Please note that this survey is not intended to be a formal vote, nor does it replace the mandatory consensus call that will take place on all the final recommendations prior to our submission of the Final Report to the GNSO Council. The co-chairs currently expect the Working Group to finalize all recommendations following community feedback at ICANN60.
Please raise any questions or concerns you may have to this mailing list before the survey closes on Monday 23 October.
Thanks and cheers
Mary
