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.

I guess we could drill down a bit on the substance/procedures matter – although my guess is that they haven’t even thought about it, and were meaning to say
that they want a new CRP for IGOs rather than any modified version of the UDRP.
What do others think?

Mason's wording is very good. 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?
Yours sincerely,
Paul

Given that you have the delicate task of interfacing with the GAC, I think your proposed minor modifications are fine.

Phil --
In my capacity as liaison, let me suggest an edit or two in the bullet point in question that might give us better luck in getting some useful information from the GAC:
In regard to the issue of potential amendment of the UDRP – It would be instructive to know the GAC’s rationale for opposing any UDRP
amendments as a means of providing IGOs with access to curative rights. 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?

WG members:
Please find attached a revised draft letter to the GNSO Council regarding the LA GAC Communique that reflects our discussion earlier today.
The only changes are to the second bullet point on page 3.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THESE CHANGES ARE ACCEPTABLE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WE WANT TO FORARD THIS LETTER TO THE COUNCILL ASAP TO MAXIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL BE ADDED
TO THE AGENDA FOR ITS MEETING NEXT THURSDAY.
Thanks in advance.
