Although I am new to this discussion, I think that based on what I have read and heard so far, the GAC may be talking about a new CRP for IGO’s. IGO’s should be accorded CRP due to their special status. This would be a logical conclusion from the statement that they oppose any changes to the UDRP especially given that trademark registration/ownership is the cornerstone to standing. Lori S.

Do you guys think it would be worth building on Mason’s wording to try and ascertain if the GAC's proposed prohibition on UDRP changes is for substantive changes only or if they are seeking to prohibit procedural changes too?

Further, in opposing such amendments, does the GAC thus advise the GNSO to preclude any possible change to its "Mutual Jurisdiction" provisions to address specific sovereign immunity concerns of IGOs? Finally, if it is the GAC’s position that an entirely new curative rights mechanism must be created, is it the GAC's understanding that the protections afforded to qualifying IGOs under Article 6ter of the Paris Convention would be the criteria for establishing standing under any dispute resolution procedure that may apply to IGOs?
