Adobe Connect chat transcript for Thursday, 25 May 2017
Michelle DeSmyter:Welcome to the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Working Group call on Thursday, 25 May 2017 at 16:00 UTC for 90 minutes.
George Kirikos:Hi folks.
Petter Rindforth:Hi George
George Kirikos:Hi Petter.
Paul Tattersfield:Hi George, Petter
George Kirikos:Hi Paul.
George Kirikos:What's a quorum? 5?
Osvaldo Novoa:Hello all
George Kirikos:Hi Osvaldo.
Steve Chan:Hi George, it's up to chair discretion.
George Kirikos:We have 5 now. Welcome, Mason.
Steve Chan:At least we have 4 + chair now though!
Mason Cole:Greetings
George Kirikos:Hi again.
George Kirikos:Adobe totally died on me.
Steve Chan:@Petter, It's available on the Wiki - I can provide a link
George Kirikos:Certainty as to applicable law --- not certainty as to the result, though.
George Kirikos:(law and venue)
Jay Chapman:reasonable, legitimate points, George.
Paul Tattersfield:intersting points George, thanks for explaining them
George Kirikos:New, in terms of the finality, since Option 1 is a final decision in court, vs. Option 2 is a final decision with less transparency.
Jay Chapman:Would option 2 have the effect of preventing a registrant from going to a court of mutual prior to the rendering of a UDRP decision?
George Kirikos:Good point, Jay.
Paul Tattersfield:Perhaps we could have the best of both options, go with option 1 and recommend the RPM WG looks at offering an arbitration option only with agreement from both parties for all domain names not
just IGO names?
George Kirikos:@Paul: no need for a policy on that, as parties can always voluntarily decide to do so.
Jay Chapman:Even if the answer to my question is "No", wouldn't the practical effect of option 2 be encouraging a court to punt?
Jay Chapman:That's a valid point as well, George.
Paul Tattersfield:@george in the us yes but not in the uk for example
George Kirikos:Where is the IGO special procedure created by the USPTO??
George Kirikos:I'm sure TM holders want all the protections of the courts, and wouldn't agree to procedural changes that reduce their rights simply because an opponent is an IGO.
Paul Tattersfield:6ter listing?
George Kirikos:(i.e if an IGO wanted to challenge an issued TM in the US, for example)
Paul Tattersfield:in rem even?
Jay Chapman:just for clarification, how many people are in the "Full" wg?
George Kirikos:Lots of inactive members.
Jay Chapman:We've averaged less than 10 for the past several months on the calls
George Kirikos:Weight the voting by attendance, perhaps. :-)
Jay Chapman:thx Paul, Steve
George Kirikos:That's a good idea.
George Kirikos:"Registration OR use" vs. "AND", but also the rest of the terms on page 6 (section 4(a)) reflect gaming by IGOs, to rewrite the legal test to make it easier for them to win.
George Kirikos:And the last part, "must prove that ANY of the elements" instead of ALL elements, etc.
Paul Tattersfield:@george strange how indpendent people would try and make those extra changes along wih the main issues
George Kirikos:Page 34, very last point, also raises the point of treating new gTLDs differently from existing domain names.
George Kirikos:That's what they claim, but the small group proposal was also one-sided.
George Kirikos:We saw their small group proposal.
Paul Tattersfield:but the small group report was exparte this was a staff draft
George Kirikos:We already know IGOs have used the existing UDRP successfully. Just need to educate them more, on their existing options.
George Kirikos:@Paul: yes, was referencing Petter's statement that the IGOs only wanted a tweak of the UDRP. But, their small group report was more than a tweak.
George Kirikos:Recall (as pointed out in the comments to that blog post) all the fear-mongering about the .biz TLD raised by the Bank for International Settlements.
George Kirikos:Too much FUD created by IGOs.
George Kirikos:We can use the small group proposal, perhaps?
Steve Chan:@Petter, I tried to adjust the action item to take into account your comments just now. Please let know if I've not captured it correctly.
Steve Chan:Nothing from me Petter, thanks
Osvaldo Novoa:Thank you and Bye
George Kirikos:Bye folks!
Paul Tattersfield:thanks Petter, All, bye
Jay Chapman:Thanks, all
