Good afternoon:
Section 1.8 Dispute Proceedings
Christopher Wilkinson, 14 June 2018
1.8.1. Objections
In the light of the extensive discussion of objections, their 2012 antecedents, their procedures and costs, allow me to mention that the authorization/non-objection requirements for applications are also being discussed in Work Track 5 (Geographical Names).
Several WT5 Members (including myself among others) have argued that the 2012 objection procedures are quite inappropriate for Geographical Names. In this context, I consider that all applications for geographical names should benefit from appropriate prior approval or non-objection from the competent community or public authority.
The discussion in Section 1.8.1 (pp. 4-18) goes a long way towards reconfirming this point of view. ICANN cannot expect that all the government and local authorities, world-wide, together with related communities, would have the resources to monitor the whole new gTLD process in order to 'catch' each and every application that might concern their interests and eventual rights, including those for 'non-geographical' use.
The procedures, restrictions and high costs of objections, as described, are inappropriate when applied to applications for geographical names. All such applications should benefit from prior endorsement by the stakeholders most directly concerned.
This pre-condition should also normally obviate the need for subsequent objection procedures.

For Item 3, the relevant documents are attached. As a reminder, please note that a resource page has been set up on the Wiki to track the distribution of Initial Report sections, which you can find here: https://community.icann.org/x/NwUhB. With the release of section 1.9 and as you can see in the link, all preliminary draft sections have now been released.
Those signed up as Members to this PDP WG should have received meeting information from the SOAC Support team. If you did not receive these participation details or if you would like to send your apologies, please contact the SOAC Support team (gnso-secs@icann.org).
