Julie Bisland:Agenda Wiki page: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… Terri Agnew:We would like to introduce Julie Bisland as GNSO SO/AC Support coordinator. Maxim Alzoba:Hello All Maxim Alzoba:I think we might see more people in 5 min Lori Schulman:Hi, Lori Schulman:Adobe took 7 mins to load today J. Scott Evans:yes J. Scott Evans:Yes Terri Agnew:Yes we can Lori J. Scott Evans:Can you hear us? Philip Corwin:Hello all Jeff Neuman:I hear Kathy J. Scott Evans:I hear kathy too Lori Schulman:i only hear bits of Kathy Maxim Alzoba:I heard Kathy susan payne:Kathy was very clear Matt Mlsna:i could hear Kathy Griffin Barnett:heard Kathy just fine before Terri Agnew:@Lori, op is dialing you Mary Wong:I can hear J Scott clearly and Kathy as well Jeff Neuman:what number is it? Maxim Alzoba:which # do we discuss? Maxim Alzoba:I do not hear Lory now Lori Schulman:Now, I can't hear anything. Philip Corwin:i'm getting radio silence Jeff Neuman:Can Mary take the reigns for a few minutes? Mary Wong:I think the SMD file question is #5 Mary Wong:#Jeff, that was the original question - I think Kathy's suggestion is in the last column Mary Wong:Kathy's rephrased question: "What does the TM Owner hold when it has an SMD file? How does it use it use an SMD file in the Sunrise Period? If a registration in the TMCH database is not longer valid, will the TM Owner's SMD file continue to work?" Maxim Alzoba:TMCH confirms records and is not aware of the legal status of the TM in the real time Mary Wong:@Maxim, yes. Maxim Alzoba:and after the registration ... it is not important , domain is still registered (if the TLD does not have a policy which demands active TM) Jeff Neuman:what was the charter question J. Scott Evans:Kathy. Don't take this personally. J. Scott Evans:Asked and answered by Deloitte J. Scott Evans:No it cannot J. Scott Evans:Let's quite wasting time J. Scott Evans:Do we have any proof that there has been abuse or a problem? Mary Wong:Also , every time a trademark record is renewed or updated based on new information, a new SMD file isgenerated. You can't use the old SMD file once you get your new SMD file as well. susan payne:Revocation:Revocation is the process executed by the Trademark Validator, Deloitte, to invalidate an SMD.Revocation may be triggered, for example, when an SMD has been compromised or when a record isremoved from the Trademark Clearinghouse. Once an SMD has been revoked, the SMD cannot be usedanymore.RenewalEvery time a trademark record is renewed or updated based on new information, a new SMD file isgenerated. The validity period of the new SMD file starts at the moment of trademark record renewaland ends at the new expiration date of the trademark record. After the trademark holder downloads thenew SMD file for the first time, the previous SMD file is revoked. Terri Agnew:@Mary, you are correct, one document at at a time Jeff Neuman:I need to drop. Thanks. Maxim Alzoba:I heard Lory susan payne:yes J. Scott Evans:agree J. Scott Evans:45 minutes J. Scott Evans:no. I think it should only take one call. 90 minutes Maxim Alzoba:when do we paln next one? could we have doodle poll? Mary Wong:@Maxim, do you mean for this Sub Team? Maxim Alzoba:yes Maxim Alzoba:the week after the next one is GDD summit Maxim Alzoba:may 10th is a bad idea , middle of the summit susan payne:thanks, that's useful Lori J. Scott Evans:we aren't have a call may 10th Maxim Alzoba:ok J. Scott Evans:no susan payne:I do J. Scott Evans:discussions are organc Maxim Alzoba:I will have to drop by the end of this hour J. Scott Evans:I would not see all of this taking place on one call J. Scott Evans:work would e taken offline and then brought back, but a discussion of whether we need to take action should not be endless Philip Corwin:Any discussion of mechanisms to challenge registry pricing practices are likely to be lengthy and possibly contentious, IMHO. Maxim Alzoba:+1 Maxim Alzoba:also ICANN regulating not only policies but prices ... does it look safe from market regulators perspective? Griffin Barnett:I'm a little confused by why we are trying to project/estimate how long discussion on each question will take? I thought our task right now is to review these Sunrise questions, agree as to whether they need any clarification or revision, potentially identify questions where we need to collect additional factual data and design means of acquiring such data J. Scott Evans:Griffin. The hope is to give the whole group an idea of how our discussions will map to the overall workplan prepared by staff Griffin Barnett:Ok thanks for the clarification on that Mary Wong:And once both Sub Teams can provide some recommendations on timing, staff will try to integrate them into an updated Work Plan. Kathy:do we have 2 down for data gathering? Kathy:Sorry if I missed it, but Kristine's rephrasing would require it... Mary Wong:Kristine Dorrain has suggested a rephrasing for 3A J. Scott Evans:I have to drop now. Good luck. Lori, you all are doing a great job organizing things. Thanks to you all. I'd like more subteam members to speak up and provide their thoughts though. Lori Schulman:My call just dropped Terri Agnew:calling lori Lori Schulman:I can hear you through the computer Lori Schulman:Thank you Mary. Lori Schulman:For asking about KD rephrasing Lori Schulman:I think we would have to ask registries susan payne:I think we said 1 call for this Lori Schulman:I said, 1 call Maxim Alzoba:Registires will have no RySG meetings till after the GDD summit susan payne:Maxim as a RO would you be willing to provide your reserved names list? I would imagine not Maxim Alzoba:we are prohibited from publishing profanity language Maxim Alzoba:and some of those list consist of that susan payne:yes Maxim Alzoba:basically that is the reason thos lists limited ro registrars Maxim Alzoba:bye all Maxim Alzoba:have to drop Roger Carney:+1 Susan, sounds easy to find Mary Wong:@Susan, yes Mary Wong:We will send around the page you mentioned Kathy:Before we end the call, let me thank Lori for dealing so well with a call that had so many audio gremlins. Kathy::-) susan payne:great, thanks Lori Mary Wong:Will do, Lori Griffin Barnett:thanks all, jumping to another call Mary Wong:Thanks Lori and everyone!

Notes & Action Items from Sunrise Sub Team meeting (28 April 2017)
by Mary Wong April 28, 2017

April 28, 2017

Hello all, Below please find the Action Items and Discussion Notes from the Sunrise Sub Team meeting that just ended. Please note that one information point was added to the Discussion Notes on data regarding Sunrise use and periods (following up on Susan’s suggestion made on the call); this was to add the link to the ICANN page that lists all Sunrise and Claims periods per registry operator. Link to Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMlQRUyoMD271Xxu3_GqwkSeTGs2huW_5DqzgX1… Next meeting: Friday 5 May 1400 UTC, for 60 minutes (staff will send calendar invitation) Action Items: · Sub Team to continue discussion of Google Doc questions on the mailing list (for further discussion next Friday) · Lori & Mary/staff to hold call early next week to work on organizing and presenting proposals for the Sub Team (especially on the Work Plan), to facilitate completion of our task · Sub Team to consider whether reordering of the questions may be necessary (especially given the batching), to follow the logic of the Sunrise Process Discussion Notes: Which questions do we need more information on? #1 - none #2C - do we need to put out a call for more examples? (There may be some data from the INTA Survey, which will be released following initial presentation by Lori to the CCT-RT on 10 May). More data may also be needed more generally. #3A – it is not clear that Kristine’s proposed rephrasing will be possible to answer because there is no way to get this data. Question on #3 (overall) - Is there a need to investigate how well Sunrise is working? #4A - no new data needed, Sub Team can compare and review existing data available on Sunrise (e.g. there is already some data on dates and Start Date and End Date Sunrise: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/sunrise-claims-periods) How long will it take for the WG to discuss each question/batch of questions? #1 - 45 minutes (add footnote when sending to full Working Group that there may be ancillary questions that can take additional time, e.g. what criteria for anything other than an exact match)? #2A-D: 90 minutes? 180 (2 full calls)? (Note: some work may need to be taken offline e.g. done by sub teams, and some discussion needs to take place on the mailing list to supplement the main calls) #3A-C: 90 minutes (on the understanding again that some work may be taken offline/to the mailing list) #4A-B: 90 minutes Thanks and cheers Mary From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 08:41 To: "gnso-rpm-sunrise(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-sunrise(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: FOR REVIEW/DISCUSSION: Updated Google Doc for Sunrise Sub Team Hi all, just to note that staff has slightly updated the overall Work Plan, to take into account recent meeting agendas and the cancellation of the full WG meeting on 10 May as that is when the GDD Summit will take place and several WG members had requested that a full WG meeting not take place that week. The updated Work Plan is attached to this email and can also be accessed on the WG wiki space here: https://community.icann.org/x/wBeOAw We hope the updated draft Work Plan is helpful to the Sub Team as you finalize the Charter questions and begin to formulate a proposed “mini work plan” for them.

As requested, we have batched some questions together and used color-coding to indicate those that were batched (as well as renumbered the questions accordingly).

Finally, we’ve circulated information and documents on what SMD files are and how they are created and used to the full Working Group mailing list. Please insert your comments and suggestions into the Google Doc by Wednesday 26 April at the latest, so that the group can discuss new comments and edits on its next call this coming Friday.

Mary Wong:Essentially, they mean Approved Launch Program and Qualfieid Launch Program, which may be offered by registry operators. Maxim Alzoba:one second - will try to find URL for QLP document Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Because they are launch programs, they generally happen PRIOR to sunrise, which is why they are mentioned here. Maxim Alzoba:https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-10 apr14-en Mary Wong:@Kristine, exactly Maxim Alzoba:QLP is relevant to RPMs - it is an addendum to RPMs Mary Wong:We will also add a definition for LRP (Limited Registration Period), which are defined in the TMCH Reuquirements as something that can happen between Sunrise and GA. Lori Schulman:@Amr - bunching suggestion was for 4,5 and 6 Lori Schulman:then 7 and 9 Amr Elsadr:Thanks Lori. Lori Schulman:can we see the whole chart at once? I only see segments and its hard to follow Amr Elsadr:@Lori: If you mean the doc on the screen, you should be able to navigate through it. Lori Schulman:Got. Maxim Alzoba:which question? Maxim Alzoba:premium names? Maxim Alzoba:or reserved lists + profanity language ? Maxim Alzoba:could we repaint batches? Maxim Alzoba:so the batched items have the same number Maxim Alzoba:*colour Amr Elsadr:@Maxim: Noted your request to do this. Will work on coloring the different batches. Maxim Alzoba:thanks Mary Wong:Registry operators are required to have SDRPs. Mary Wong:It's in the TMCH Requreemnts. Mary Wong:And I believe the origin was the IRT Report. Griffin Barnett:Yes, Kristine's audio seems blown out Susan Payne:me too Susan Payne:really load and distorted Mary Wong:Exact language for SDRP requirement: "Registry Operator MUST provide a mechanism to resolve disputes regarding its registration of Sunrise Registrations. Each Registry Operator MUST develop a Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy ("SDRP"), which will allow challenges to Sunrise Registrations related to Registry Operator's Allocation and registration policies, including on the grounds that the domain name that was registered does not match the Trademark Record on which the Sunrise-Eligible Rights Holder based its Sunrise Registration." Phil Marano (Mayer Brown):Loud and clear here... Mary Wong:Oops sorry for bad font Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Dialing in Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:whats the code Mary Wong:Participant code = SUNRISE Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I Susan Payne:wonderful Kristine Mary Wong:OK here are the SDRP requiremens, hopefully in better font: "Registry Operator MUST provide a mechanism to resolve disputes regarding its registration of Sunrise Registrations. Each Registry Operator MUST develop a Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy ("SDRP"), which will allow challenges to Sunrise Registrations related to Registry Operator's Allocation and registration policies, including on the grounds that the domain name that was registered does not match the Trademark Record on which the Sunrise-Eligible Rights Holder based its Sunrise Registration" Mary Wong:@Kristine, are you looking at the TMCH Dispute Resolution Process, or individual RO's SDRPs? Maxim Alzoba:SDRP policies vary from registry to registry Mary Wong:@Maxim, yes Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:@ Mary I was reading from the SDRP criteria from the ?AGB Mary Wong:@Kristine, thanks, that's clearer Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Agree, Susan, the RO may have additional grounds. also the SDRP can be suef for an end-date sunrise where the RO has allocation methods Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:My comment generally relates to the serious overlap between the TMCH dispute policy and these "mimum" criteria of ROs Mary Wong:We know from Deloitte that no third party disputes have been brought under the TMCH Dispute Resolution Procedure, whether on GIs on anything else. We can't know about individual ROs unless we ask them. Susan Payne:ah - agree with comments re the overlap Matt Mlsna:I have to drop off for another call. Sorry for not being able to attend the entire meeting. Susan Payne:I just don't really think it is a sunrise Q Mary Wong:Will it help to clarify what about the SMD file is to be reviewed? Mary Wong:There is information about how a SMD file is created and used - staff will locate the links and send them to the list. Maxim Alzoba:tocken expires, do not remember time Maxim Alzoba:but not long time Mary Wong:We'll send the documents around, I think all this is in the Functional Spec. Maxim Alzoba:not even enough for some of operations Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:All of these questions can be answered by the tutorial as well. Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I think the use of SMD crosses topics. TMCH, Sunrise, URS Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:So we need to fully understand SMD Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Agree with Susan Maxim Alzoba:one sec Kathy Kleiman:Finally, I'm in! Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:yay Kathy Kleiman:yes Maxim Alzoba:I am not sure how to prevent this - there is no way Maxim Alzoba:to understand if the gaming was involved .. for example - genereic words also contain apple - so it is not sinple Maxim Alzoba:*simple Kathy Kleiman:+1 Susan - and the question gives a place for the conversation from the list to go... Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Also +1 Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:For Q10: conduct the tutorial and see if any questions arise from that, once people understand it Kathy Kleiman:I think I promised to give Lori a rephrasing of Q10 Kathy Kleiman:Lori- what does parking mean? Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:IMO parking means that we don't remove the question, but don't build in a lot of discussion time because we think we'll have gotten through it already....anyone else think that? Susan Payne:@Kristine - yep Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Agree. leave it in Maxim Alzoba:My suggestion of removal the question was related to Q8 Kathy Kleiman:Makes sense.. tx Kristine! Susan Payne:leave in. don't waste time, duplicate work, re-open if somethign has been agreed. have a note to that effect to remind us Maxim Alzoba:NOTE: please use different saturation of clolurs , so color blinded people see it too (like first colour will be light grey, second colour mid-gray , third - dark grey ) Maxim Alzoba:*colours Amr Elsadr:Staff will update the google doc to reflect today's discussion. Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I think giving people until Tuesday is fine. Maxim Alzoba:I mean if first colour red - then light red, second green - mid green e.t.c Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Those of us on the call appear to be generally in alignment Susan Payne:Sounds good. really sorry I need to jump off Mary Wong:How about Tuesday to agree on what to close off after today (based on new staff update to the Google Doc) Maxim Alzoba:could we have doodle poll with date times? Kathy Kleiman:Agree Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Agree Kathy Kleiman:Tx for a great meeting, Lori! Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Nice job chairing us through all of our respective tech difficulties. Mary Wong:Thanks, Lori and all! Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Make sense Maxim Alzoba:bye all Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye.

FOR EDIT/COMMENT: Google Doc for Sunrise Sub Team Charter Questions
by Mary Wong April 14, 2017

April 14, 2017

Dear Sunrise Sub Team members, Staff has created a Google Doc that lists all the Sunrise Charter questions (Questions 1-9) along with the additional community/Working Group questions that were identified during early Working Group discussions about our Charter (Questions 10-16). As we have managed to populate the document also with the origin of those questions and a few staff suggestions based either on the Sub Team call earlier today or ongoing mailing list discussions, please feel free to go ahead and edit or comment on the document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMlQRUyoMD271Xxu3_GqwkSeTGs2huW_5DqzgX1…. However, so that everyone knows you’ve updated the document, please be so kind as to send a note to this list if/when you do so. Of course, if you prefer, you may also send your comments and suggestions to this list and staff will incorporate them into the Google Doc. We hope this is what you had in mind and we hope also that this will be useful. As a reminder, please send/make your initial comments/edits by Wednesday 19 April so that we can work through the document on our next call (Friday 21 April, 1400 UTC). Thanks and cheers Mary & Amr

QUESTION FOR YOUR RESPONSE: Additional Charter questions for Sunrise and/or Trademark Claims?
by Mary Wong April 14, 2017

April 14, 2017

Dear all, Based on directions from the Sub Team on Trademark Claims, staff went back to review all our PDP Charter questions, to make sure that all questions relevant to that particular RPM are captured for the Sub Team (even if they were categorized previously under a different RPM). As a result, we wanted to ask you if you think the following two questions (listed under the UDRP section) should instead be moved to and addressed as part of the Sunrise and/or Claims review, or if you think they should be more appropriately addressed elsewhere: · Are generic dictionary words being adequately protected so that they are available for all to use as allowed under their national laws and international treaties? E.g. sun, windows. · Are last names and geographic places adequately protected so that they are available for all to use as allowed under their national laws, e.g, Smith, McDonald, Capitol Hill Cafe, Old Town Deli? In addition, for the Trademark Claims Sub Team, there was this other question in the TMCH section: · Should notices to the trademark owner be sent before the domain is registered? Finally, for the Sunrise Sub Team, the Trademark Claims Sub Team suggests that all Sub Teams take a look at the General Questions from the Charter, to see which (if any) may be applicable to that particular RPM. To that end, staff will be adding all the General Questions from the Charter to the Google Document that we are preparing for both Sub Teams, for your reference and consideration. Thanks and cheers Mary From: <gnso-rpm-sunrise-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Amr Elsadr <amr.elsadr(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, April 14, 2017 at 13:15 To: "gnso-rpm-sunrise(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-sunrise(a)icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-rpm-sunrise] IMPORTANT: Action Items and Notes from the Sunrise Registrations Sub Team Call - 14 April 2017 Hi, Please find below the Action Items and Notes from today’s Sub Team call.

Mary Wong:Hi Lori - it was circulated to the Working Group mailing list. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):2 is fine :) Lori Schulman:Thanks. I will check my old mail. The volume is starting to crush me. Lori Schulman:Is it on the wiki for quick retrieval? Susan Payne:hi all Mary Wong:@Lori, if they are not, we will make sure they are. Thanks! Lori Schulman:Thanks Mary, it's a little easier to navigate the wiki. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):someone is stomping on the mic Amr Elsadr:Kiran has sent apologies for this call. Lori Schulman:I am happy to volunteer Philip Corwin:Good morning all Susan Payne:Support Lori Lori Schulman:Hi Phil Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):+1 for Lori Mary Wong:Thanks, Lori! Susan Payne:I'd favour running through them yes J. Scott Evans:I cannot see the entire list of questions in Adobe Connect. I only see about 3/4 of a page Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):@Amr, is it possible to make middle part of the screen wider? (by making left pad and right pad smaller? J. Scott Evans:i fixed it Philip Corwin:Yes, hour call on a weekly basis for 2-3 weeks to complete task. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):+1 hour weekly (3 weeks) looks fine Mary Wong:The full WG has to review the proposed list of refined questions, and decide whether the Sub teams continue on. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):@Amr thanks J. Scott Evans:yes Mary Wong:The Work Plan will need to be updated with the various Sub Teams' suggestions - staff will monitor that and will let you all know if we see any potential problems. Amr Elsadr:@Maxim: You should have control of the document on the screen, so can scroll up/down and zoom in/out. Martin Silva Valent:I think this is a relevant question, don't see a consolidation chance here. Martin Silva Valent:We should try to explain further Premium Names to the WG, or add the need for a intro on that. Susan Payne:I think the issue for premuim names is around setting of pricing which effectively circumvents the sunrise and how do you address that as a brand owner if you have no route of oibjection Griffin Barnett:+1 Susan Martin Silva Valent:+1 Susan, if they use pricing to bomb the sunrise system, on the other hand, are going to get into pricing? Martin Silva Valent:a lot of trademarks are also generic names, is a blurry lines sometines, so premium names often fall in that blurry line J. Scott Evans:agree J. Scott Evans:on consolidation Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Brand owners are not the only party with "special rights" in accordance to Sunrise, GEO TLDs need to deliver domains for public services/streets/monuments e.t.c. to the Municipal Entity of the City... for example Griffin Barnett:@MAxim - that's what ALPs/QLPs are for, no? J. Scott Evans:maxim is really hard to hear. Can he also make his points in the chat. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):ok Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):will type Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):poor connectivity Martin Silva Valent:+1 Maxim J. Scott Evans:correct J. Scott Evans:Also correct Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):I think we might consolidate into three bunches : related to Reserved lists, related to TMs and TMCH during sunrise, and about processes during sunrise and not relevant to first and secodn bunch Terri Agnew:hearing typing again, please remember to mute Susan Payne:yep, bunch by theme J. Scott Evans:agree Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):a Note: Due to quite poor design of the ALP (the only GEO who tried to use ALP . MADRID is still not launched), GEO TLDs had to use Reserved lists to deliver names to Mayor's offices of cities/local governments (and for a big city, 100 names is nothing). as it was underlined in one of GAC Communiques - .POLICE needs to be delivered to the Public Safety Agency in case of cities Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):adding to that: my thinking is , if Claims are available, the release of the Reserved name is not as bad, as when it is not available (so the TM owner is notified) Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):NOTE: I reached to geoTLDs and requested their comments on QLP, ALP (those instruments are highly relevant to them and quite important), and hope to have their text by the next call Mary Wong:Do we have a common understanding (definition) of what is a premium name? Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):one of the historical reasons for lots of well known names to be stuck in reserved lists - Name Collisions Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):I do not think so , premium names is a marketing term, and definition vary from legal body to legal body Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Agree with that Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Lori, love the idea of a footnote or note. I just know how long redrafting took. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):I think if we highly regulate "premium names" we might face swarm of terms like "golden name" , "titanium... diamond ... e.t.c. and I do not see how to regulate marketing ideas" Susan Payne:I agree too - redrafting wasn't a terribly effective use of time last time and ended up being pretty contentious and also tended to veer into a substantive discussion of the underlying issue Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):one suggestion: to define idea of Premiums - we might need to analyze how many TLDs used it in their applications J. Scott Evans:I think the fact we are not having any objections should be accepted as the right to move forward Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):in financial models (no additional info, just yes/no) J. Scott Evans:great idea!! Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):are we against Google docs sheets ? Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):ok - consolidation is fine ( and spreadsheets work fine for RySG in in situation where we need to add few comments and to understand who wrote what , andfor what reason) Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):and sending offline copy to the list Amr Elsadr:Google Docs also allow for comments on text, similar to MS Word.

Dear Sub Team Members, The Agenda for the Review of all Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) Sub Team for Sunrise Registrations call on Friday, 14 April 2017 at UTC 14:00 is as follows: 1. Roll call and updates to SOIs. 2. Selection of Sub Team leadership 3. Begin refinement of Charter questions for Sunrise Registrations (attached): Specifically, identify the following: · What questions can be consolidated? · What questions, if any, may need to be clarified, and how? · What questions, if any, should be deleted (e.g. because they are duplicates or because they have been discussed or resolved by the Working Group)? · What, if any, data might be needed to address any question fully? Are there existing or identifiable sources from which that data can be requested? · What gaps (if any) exist that are not addressed by the existing questions; if one is identified, what is the question that needs to be answered? 4.

First Call for the Sub Team on Sunrise Registrations
by Amr Elsadr April 7, 2017

April 7, 2017

Dear Sub Team Members, Mary and I would like to suggest that the first Sub Team call be held on Friday, 14 April for 60 minutes. The times we are suggesting are either UTC 14:00, UTC 15:00 or UTC 16:00. We’re hoping that one of these times on that day will be suitable for the Sub Team members, however, this is only for the first call. We expect to discuss a regular day/time for Sub Team calls next week. Also, note that I will be sending a similar email to the Sub Team handling Trademark Claims, suggesting the same date and times. It is our hope that we will be able to agree on holding both Sub Team first-time calls on the same day (but obviously not at the same time). Please share your thoughts on the suggestion on this mailing list. Thanks. Amr
