Dear Data Sub Team members,

For the call tomorrow (Wed, 25 July) at 17:00-18:30 UTC. Please see below the proposed agenda:

1. Review agenda

2. Discussion of revised survey by Analysis Group and input from lead author:

· Brand/Trademark Owners (Lead: Michael Graham): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NIDTSrEIVrvX3S0n3V-DO-BMlFElNBFhxH53fQswswE/edit?usp=sharing [docs.google.com]  -- see notes/actions below

3. Discuss next steps for finalizing revised surveys and beta testing

4. Start discussion of the survey distribution channels and outreach plans

5. AOB

Analysis Group has informed us that they will distribute the potential registrant surveys to target respondents in North America and five English-speaking countries/regions outside of North America (UK, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Africa). This expansion would not incur additional costs/expenses. The target response rate for the potential registrant survey would be 150 complete responses, and Analysis Group expects that this is achievable. Following up on the action item, staff are confirming with Analysis Group the survey distribution channels and target response rates for the other surveys. We will report back and consult with the Sub Team the proposed plan.

Best Regards,

Mary, Berry, Ariel, and Julie

Notes/Actions re: Brand/Trademark Owners Survey:

Q26

• We want to know whether TM owners file a UDRP as a result of NORN. If you have filed a UDRP, did you file against 'exact match', 'near match', 'something match'. We are trying to understand whether "exact match" is sufficient. Question is whether Claims Notice is effective. If a UDRP challenge has been successful and it is not an exact match, then that may necessitate the evaluation of the rule with regard to exact match. 
• Staff have extracted out the data of UDRP cases filed up to the end of 2017. We will get a refresh of the data in the TMCH database and notices sent, and align the notices to the domain registered. There would not be exact alignment. TM owners could have gotten a notice, but they may not file UDRP three months after, etc. 
• There could also be other factors that a TM owner doesn't file UDRP. NORNs do not necessarily correspond to UDRP cases filed. 
• ACTION ITEM: Kristine to provide suggestion/input to Q26.
