Best Regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director == NOTES & ACTION ITEMS Actions: Staff will extend the nominations for Sub Team leaders/co-leaders to COB 21 December and also send to the Working Group for reference. [DONE] Staff will create Google documents for each question to which Sub Team members can add comments/suggestions. [ONGOING] Sub Team members: By 1300 UTC, Wednesday, 02 January 2018, analyze whether / how the data in "Actual & Potential Registrants", “Registry & Registrars”, and “Trademark Owners” tabs answer the agreed question 5, sub question 5(a), and all the sub questions of 5(a), in the spreadsheet at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aBw-dW2gBzvBfhUgl3u6ShWlPZt0yyNF-Vs1... and add your comments/suggestions in the summary table (to be provided, see action item 2) [BY 02 Jan] See: Question 5 (Final Charter Questions for Sunrise & Trademark Claims RPMs for Which Data is Being Sought) (a) Does the current 30-day minimum for a Sunrise Period serve its intended purpose, particularly in view of the fact that many registry operators actually ran a 60-day Sunrise Period? • Are there any unintended results? • Does the ability of Registry Operators to expand their Sunrise Periods create uniformity concerns that should be addressed by this WG? • Are there any benefits observed when the Sunrise Period is extended beyond 30 days? • Are there any disadvantages? Notes: 1. Review agenda/Statements of Interest: Susan Payne has taken the position of Secretary of the Intellectual Property Constituency. 2. Select Sub Team Leader: -- ACTION ITEM: Resend the nomination announcement until COB 21 December, also send to the full WG. -- Consider whether WG Co-Chairs could rotate. 3. Begin survey analysis -- ACTION ITEM -- Tool: Look at the refined charter questions and the Data Sub Team questions -- structured on the original data request table. Applies some structure. -- Ask Sub Team members to point out where other data applies. -- Cells F28 and G28 answer that, namely that only 4 TM owners missed the 30 day deadline. -- Cell F31 argues for 'more time', but with no tradeoff/cost attached to it, it's somewhat a weak question -- Registries and Registrars data also apply. -- Question 5 is not the place to start. -- See F28 and G28 responses. -- Don't look at the Sunrise period on its own, look at the time before it sharts (G35 on registries and registrars tab). -- F31 indicates that people believe that a 60-day period would be preferable. -- Can look at brand owner, but also at registries and registrars. Line: 33 onward. -- Haven't decided the overarching question -- is Sunrise a good thing? Is it a good thing? Propose that we go to the summary table: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/attachments/20181203/0f4ad243/Tab...., -- Need to start filling in the table. -- From registrars find it too late -- don't participate. Misunderstanding of 30 days versus 60 days (30 days sunrise and 60 days are both 60 days, for the first one is a 30 day notice period). dding +30 (multiplied by something) days means registry can not start business , but paying bills. There is no way registries could do 60 days because of the first come, first-served scenario. The questions didn't provide clarity or there was no knowledge about this. -- Could run it longer than 60 days -- the durations are a minimum. -- Filter for the question was those registrars who participated in sunrise. -- Registry/Registrar -- Q15 and Q4 tabs -- costs implementing sunrise periods. Also, registry E29.
