QUESTION for the URS Documents Sub Team
by Mary Wong March 7, 2018

March 7, 2018

Dear all, You will have seen that J. Scott has resigned as one of our Working Group co-chairs. He has confirmed that he will not be joining the group at ICANN61 either in person or remotely. As such, staff would like to ask if another Sub Team member would like to volunteer to present the Sub Team’s report and suggestions to the full Working Group at ICANN61. We currently anticipate this to take place either during one of the Saturday afternoon (Puerto Rico time) back-to-back sessions or the Sunday evening session. If appropriate, staff will be pleased to present on behalf of the Sub Team but we of course did not wish to presume. Please let us know if you wish to volunteer or prefer to delegate the task to staff. Thanks and cheers Mary & Berry From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 18:29 To: "gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org> Subject: FOR REVIEW: Updated URS Documents Sub Team documentation Dear all, Please find attached updated versions of: (1) the Consolidated URS Discussion Document – where as of last week we had added a new column to the table in Section B to list all the suggested data sources agreed to by our Sub Team; (2) the list of questions to the URS Practitioners that will be identified by the Practitioners Sub Team; and (3) the list of questions to the URS Providers. As always, it is the Consolidated URS Discussion Document that will is the authoritative report since the others, as noted previously by staff, were created essentially to assist the other two Sub Teams as well as the practitioners and providers see more easily what topics and questions are to be directed at them. We have also posted all the attached updated documents to the Sub Team wiki space for convenient reference: https://community.icann.org/x/4xm8B As agreed on our last call, in reporting back to the full Working Group at ICANN61, the following general points should be mentioned as well: * This URS Documents Sub Team is willing to take on the review of those specific types of cases noted in the consolidated document, as well as the review of the specified reports, websites and other documents also mentioned. The Sub Team will welcome any additional volunteers from the Working Group who wish to join them for these reviews. * To perform the case review, the Sub Team intends to develop and use a single template, to ensure uniformity and consistency in reporting. * The final list of suggested data sources, as well as the questions for the URS Practitioners and Providers, was developed over two Sub Team meetings during which the Sub Team went through the full table of topics in Section B of the Consolidated URS Discussion Document. For each topic, the Sub Team considered whether or not data – whether in the form of quantifiable data or qualitative/anecdotal feedback – was needed and, if so, the appropriate source(s) of that information. For a few topics, the Sub Team agreed that data collection was either not needed or appropriate (e.g. if the topic covered a policy rather than data-driven question). Please review the attached documents to ensure that staff has accurately captured the Sub Team’s agreements and suggestions. We anticipate that reports from all three URS-related Sub Teams will be expected, along with further Working Group discussion of the suggestions made and possible next steps, at one or more of the sessions at ICANN61 starting on Saturday 10 March. Thanks and cheers Mary & Berry From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at 17:33 To: "gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org> Subject: Action items & notes from the URS Documents Sub Team call held earlier today Dear Sub Team members, Please find attached the notes from the call that just took place a few hours ago. As is our practice, the notes and recordings from the call have also been posted to the wiki page for this Sub Team: https://community.icann.org/x/4xm8B. Completion of discussion on the topic table in the Consolidated URS Discussion Document on the call today means there will NOT be a Sub Team call next week. Here are the specific action items that were noted by staff on the call, in addition to the agreed actions with respect to the remaining topics that were discussed and that staff will be updating the topic table with: GENERAL ACTION ITEMS: • Create template for Case Review, to be used by all reviewers for the types of cases identified as requiring review (staff) • For all questions to be directed to URS Practitioners, ask them to identify if they more commonly represent Complainants or Respondents (staff) ACTION ITEMS FROM THE CALL: • Staff to update the topic table in the Consolidated URS Discussion Document and Practitioner/Provider documents accordingly; and prepare a short summary of Sub Team methodology for reporting back to Working Group • Sub Team members to indicate if they will be attending San Juan sessions (in person or remotely) via the poll sent out recently: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclVS9__ofc94mstK-jXKk7ngv5PV9scbj… • Sub Team members to raise any additional issues or concerns they believe have not been adequately addressed on the mailing list.

FOR REVIEW: Updated URS Documents Sub Team documentation

March 4, 2018

Dear all, Please find attached updated versions of: (1) the Consolidated URS Discussion Document – where as of last week we had added a new column to the table in Section B to list all the suggested data sources agreed to by our Sub Team; (2) the list of questions to the URS Practitioners that will be identified by the Practitioners Sub Team; and (3) the list of questions to the URS Providers.

Adobe Connect room for our call today
by Mary Wong Feb. 28, 2018

Feb. 28, 2018

Dear all, Just FYI that there is another conference call going on in the same Adobe Connect room as our meeting coming up in 30 minutes, so staff would like to request that you request to enter the AC room only starting from 10 minutes before the call (i.e. starting only at 1750 UTC). Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience! Cheers Mary From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at 17:11 To: "gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-documents(a)icann.org> Subject: Proposed agenda and related documents for RPM Documents Sub Team call on 28 February Dear Sub Team members, We hope you have been able to review the updated Consolidated URS Document that Berry circulated on 22 February (re-attached here for your convenience). If we may, staff would like to suggest that the call tomorrow be focused on outstanding issues and specific topics from the updated consolidated document that your review reveals as inaccurate or requiring additional work, and of course the remaining topics in the table. This should allow us to make further progress and not re-open discussion on agreed points. The updated Consolidated URS Document as well as the notes from the Sub Team call last week have also been posted to the Sub Team wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/7hi8B. To that end, we wish to propose the following agenda (we have not had the chance to run it by J. Scott, so it is very definitely subject to change): 1. Roll call 2. Discuss those topics/sections from last week that are now noted (in the 22 February updated document) as requiring additional Sub Team work (e.g. the need to refine certain questions for Practitioners and Providers); as part of this discussion, the points brought up in email by Brian and Rebecca can also be discussed as well as any additional inaccuracies or concerns you may spot in the updated document 3. Discuss the remaining topics in the table, to identify data needs and potential sources 4. Next steps For agenda item #2, staff has prepared two short documents (attached) that we hope can facilitate any needed additional discussion of the questions to be refined before sending to the Practitioner and Provider Sub Teams. Please note that they do not replace the Consolidated URS Document (which remains the authoritative source of agreed items); however, we hope they will not only aid your work but can also be considered as a useful way to highlight what you propose be sent to the other two Sub Teams when you report to the full Working Group. For agenda item #4, staff believes that the Working Group co-chairs plan to use some part of the sessions allocated to our Working Group at ICANN61 for reports from and discussions of the work of the various Sub Teams. As such, we recommend that, for the upcoming Sub Team call, you plan on allocating at least a few minutes to agree on what and how you will be reporting back to the full group. J. Scott, all – please let us know if you’d like to modify the agenda or have additional points to bring up for Sub Team discussion.

What we can look at for example is whether the providers fulfil their notification obligations (which consist of notice by email, post, and fax to the registrant, tech and admin contacts, and any email address the complainant provides). The claim that some registrants may choose not to respond was not however “cherry-picked” (in that it was not made in reference to a specific “problem case”), it was merely put forward as an anecdotal consideration, and although it was not my claim I believe at that it was even put forward to suggest that we ought to be circumspect about assigning a problem where there may not be one (or at least less of one than the “data” would lead you to believe at first instance).

Qualitative experiences from Practitioners as it relates to what they see in regards to Standing, Grounds, Filing Period [Need to further develop these questions]” If I understand the way this is recorded correctly (this comes up at about minute 21 on the call), I raised concerns about standing/grounds experiences from practitioners, and suggested that instead that we simply look at whether the mark is listed in the decision (note that as a filing requirement/compliance review matter, there is a requirement that the complaint list the mark on which it is based). The same concern has been raised numerous times as to the standard of proof, namely that if we simply ask practitioners for their experiences there is a significant risk of cherry-picking for effect and focusing in only on a few select cases that people feel should have gone a different way, and we are not privy to the pleadings (and, frankly unfortunately many of the decisions are extremely light on text/reasoning). I would also like to see if the notes can reflect that in terms of notice (building on the provider obligations) that in many cases the registrant chooses not to respond, and this should not be mistaken as a “notice issue”.

The notes highlight each sections the group reviewed with a summary of data sources. The data sources were then imported into a new column #5 labeled “Data Sources”. I tried to detail which data sources need to be passed to the Practitioners or the Providers, but I think we will want to spend a little time refining the actual request/questions we want them to take on.

Qualitative experiences from Practitioners as it relates to what they see in regards to Standing, Grounds, Filing Period [Need to further develop these questions]” If I understand the way this is recorded correctly (this comes up at about minute 21 on the call), I raised concerns about standing/grounds experiences from practitioners, and suggested that instead that we simply look at whether the mark is listed in the decision (note that as a filing requirement/compliance review matter, there is a requirement that the complaint list the mark on which it is based). The same concern has been raised numerous times as to the standard of proof, namely that if we simply ask practitioners for their experiences there is a significant risk of cherry-picking for effect and focusing in only on a few select cases that people feel should have gone a different way, and we are not privy to the pleadings (and, frankly unfortunately many of the decisions are extremely light on text/reasoning). I would also like to see if the notes can reflect that in terms of notice (building on the provider obligations) that in many cases the registrant chooses not to respond, and this should not be mistaken as a “notice issue”.
