Dear Berry, dear Thomas,
Dear all,
As agreed during our last telephone
conference of 15 February, please find attached a copy of the completed
Table of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' names.
This was prepared on the basis of the
previously agreed criteria and conforms to the mock-up list we had submitted
to the Reconvened Working Group earlier this year.
Safe for exceptional cases where this
was not manageable, the attached list was prepared in close coordination
and consultation with the respective National Societies.
Please note that, as previously discussed,
some slight variations were introduced to the criteria where this was expressly
requested and justified -
e.g. in some rare cases, we included
the words "red cross" or "red crescent" in the national
language on their own (without the adjective indicating national affiliation)
and thus, where the words "red cross" or "red crescent"
constitute the commonly used name of the National Society (for instance,
the words "Red Cross" in Swahili are included, as this is a name
under which the Kenya Red Cross is commonly known and identified in Kenya:
the words "Red Crescent" are included in Dari and in Pashto as
this is the commonly used name of the Afghan Red Crescent in Afghanistan).
In such instances, the English translation is inserted in the table in
a yellow cell and is not proposed, as such, for protection/reservation.
Please note that in a number of cases,
certain translations of the names in national languages could not be included
due to the fact that they do not exist (for instance, in the case
of languages which do not make use of definite articles). In these cases,
the concerned cells in official languages other than English were left
blank.
Thank you for any questions or querries
that you would have on the attached table.
With kind regards,
Stéphane

Reconvened WG - Red Cross Society Names Protections - Update
Dear Stephane and everyone,
Depending on when the Working Group agrees
on its recommendations that are to be published for public comment, that
is when staff can go ahead and start the public comment period – and the
timeline can be adjusted based on that date, if need be. However, please
note that before the report is then submitted to the GNSO Council, the
Working Group is obliged to review all public comments submitted (if any)
and determine if any changes need to be made to its recommendations and/or
report. Given that the deadline for documents for the Council’s consideration
in Panama is 10 June, staff believes that it is highly unlikely that the
final report can be submitted in time for the Council to consider it at
its meeting in Panama.
For your information, the document deadline
for the Council’s July 2018 meeting is 9 July.
We hope this is helpful.
Thanks and cheers
Mary

Protections - Update
Dear Berry,
dear Thomas,
Thank you for your message.
Was the agreement not, during the last ConfCall, that the list of National
Societies' names and the GNSO Working Group's draft Report and decision,
would be released for public comment asap and then discussed at ICANN 62.
I went back to the transcript of the last ConfCall, but some parts may
be missing. It does quote Heather however as saying that "[i]n its
recent meeting in Los Angeles, the GNSO Council undertook strategic planning
for the year and raised the question as to whether this reconvened PDP
could be wound up by mid-year".
Would it not be better, subject to the confirmation of the list of National
Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' names by the WG at its upcoming 10
May session, to aim for the Report to be presented, and for the GNSO Council's
determination to be made, end June in Panama?
Thanks for your thoughts and kind regards,
Stéphane

Hi All,
I wanted to provide you an update on the Reconvened WG
effort regarding the protection of Red Cross National Society names.
In consultation with the Red Cross representatives, they
have provided an update that they are on target for the end of April to
complete the definitive list of identifiers (193 orgs) to be considered
for reservation protection. You will recall at our last session they
provided examples of 12 National Societies where there was general agreement
on the variations and the parameters that define those variations. In
parallel, staff has started drafting the WG’s report that will outline
the background of this issue, the WG’s deliberations, and proposed recommendations.
The intent is to have both deliverables ready for review by the WG
at our next meeting.
Shortly, you will see a calendar invite for 10
May 2018 at 14:00 UTC for 90 minutes. At
this session, we will first review the definitive list and deliberate on
issues, if any. We will also review the draft report. The following
is a proposed timeline to complete this effort. Staff and Thomas
realize this will be a challenging time given the competition with GDPR
efforts, but this group has committed to conclude at the end of June. As
you will see, assuming the WG achieves consensus and no frictions with
GDPR, this effort will may be behind schedule around mid-July. The
WG can consider having a shorter comment period of 30 days given the reduced
scope of this issue, but the WG should consider the balance of the 40 day
rule versus delivering on time. We’re happy to have members thoughts
on the mailing list in the meantime.
Proposed timeline:
· 10 May: WG Meeting
· 18 May: Launch Public Comment
proceeding for 40 days
· 25 June: Start of ICANN61
– Staff has not planned on having a session at the meeting, at best an
update to the Council
· 27 June: Close of Public
comment
· 05 July: WG Meeting to review
comments (don’t anticipate a ton of comments)
· 13 July: Submit Report to
Council
Thank you for your time, and please submit your thoughts/comments
on the mailing list.
