Dear URS Documents Sub Team members,

Please find attached for your review an updated Consolidated URS Discussion Document, in which staff has updated the table where this Sub Team’s suggested data sources and questions (for Providers and Practitioners) are detailed. The staff updates concern only those additional suggestions that were made during the ICANN61 session where John McElwaine presented the Sub Team’s recommendations to the full Working Group – it is being circulated here to make sure that you are aware of, and do not have concerns about, the new edits. Please also let us know if we omitted anything inadvertently.

Please note that, for ease of review, staff has accepted all changes that were made to the document up to ICANN61. The attachment therefore just shows what edits were made based on the ICANN61 discussions – however, let us know if you prefer it to remain a mark-up from the last few versions.

NEXT STEPS FOR THE URS DOCUMENTS SUB TEAM:

• There will not be a Sub Team meeting next week, as the Sub Team has now completed its initial tasks.
• Staff has contacted Rebecca Tushnet and her research assistant, Alex Noonan, to find out the status of their research into all the URS cases. As you will recall, this Sub Team has volunteered to take on a review of a selected number of URS cases (e.g. Appeals) – staff anticipates that this task will not begin until we have heard from Rebecca and can have a good sense of how not to duplicate her work.
• Staff will update the two previous documents we had prepared – these being the list of questions to be sent to the URS Practitioners and Providers Sub Teams for forwarding on to the identified URS practitioners and the three URS providers, as part of those Sub Team’s questions. We will send these updated documents to both Sub Teams before they meet again next week.

Thanks and cheers

Mary, Julie, Ariel & Berry
