Dear Sunrise Sub Team members, In the absence of further discussions and per Sub Team Co-Chairs’ determination, the Discussion Thread for the Trademark Claims Agreed Charter Question 1 (including Proposal #9) is now closed. Specifically, Sub Team Co-Chairs note that while Proposal #9 did not seem to receive wide support from the Sub Team, its relevant aspect has been picked up in the discussion thread for the agreed Sunrise Charter Question 6. Please reference that discussion thread for further information.

We ask that you review the Summary Table (as of 16 April 2019) and provide any additional input you may have to the “tentative answers & preliminary recommendations” in relation to the Agreed Charter Question, and consider draft answers to the following questions regarding the individual proposal: a. Should the Sub Team recommend that the full WG consider including this Individual Proposal in the Initial Report for the solicitation of public comment? b. In light of the Individual Proposal, are any modifications to the current “tentative answers & preliminary recommendations” needed? c. Should any additional Sub Team recommendations be made in relation to the agreed Sunrise charter question? Unless the Sub Team Co-Chairs determine otherwise, this discussion thread will remain open until 23:59 UTC on 15 May 2019.
