Thank you Mary. Can you please update the agenda to add this as an Agenda item?  That way the historical record remains clear. 

Sincerely,
Paul Keating, Esq.

Thanks for the feedback, George and Paul – I’d like to assure the WG that the co-chairs and staff have no intention of limiting the options or discussions of the WG. Despite, therefore, my somewhat clumsy formulation of the wording for Agenda Item #4, it is certainly entirely appropriate and timely to discuss the possibility of “no amendment or new process” as well as George’s point regarding education at that point in the meeting.

Cheers
Mary

I do not believe #4 Is correct. The Options are not LIMITED to amending or creating a new system. It also includes issuing a report confirming that no changes are warranted. 

As I have said previously I am not in favor of either amending the current UDRP or creating a new system. I have remained open to any reasoning supporting either but have seen no evidence supporting the desirability or need for a change. I have found it particularly telling that no NGO or INGO has come forward to date although the WG has certainly been pro active in reaching out.  

Sincerely,
Paul Keating, Esq.

  3. Review status of GNSO work concerning preventative and curative rights protections for IGO names and acronyms (staff to update)

  5. Next steps/next meeting
Thanks and cheers
