Action Items:

1. Staff to rephrase the relevant parts of question 2 based on suggestions from Kurt P. on question of costs – cost to parties in the value chain (e.g., brand owners, registrars, registries, registrants) – and from Phil C. on the framework of rules applicable to the TMCH
2. Staff to place deleted question 2 at the end of the document as a placeholder to review what issues may have been dropped as a result of its deletion, once revision of other questions is complete
3. Staff to review document and replace previous usages of “blocking services”, “private protections” etc. with the phrase "Additional Marketplace RPMs" for consistency, where appropriate
4. Staff to replace question 4 with proposed alternative wording: “For registry operators that extended the trademark Claims Service beyond the required 90 days, what has been their experience in terms of exact matches generated beyond the mandatory period?”
5. Staff to replace question 5 with proposed alternative wording: “How does use of Protected Marks Lists (e.g.: blocking services) affect the utilization of other RPMs, especially Sunrise Registrations?”
6. Staff to move question 7 to become a sub-question to question 3
7. Staff to split question 8, and move the first and second parts of it to become sub-questions to questions 3 and 2 respectively
