PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK: Latest TMCH Charter questions and updated Work Plan
by Mary Wong Dec. 8, 2016

Dec. 8, 2016

Dear all, As agreed on the Working Group call that just ended, staff is recirculating the latest draft of the TMCH Charter Questions, which indicates which questions have been refined and clarified by the TMCH Charter Questions Sub Team. We are also attaching the slides that were used for our Working Group session at ICANN57, where you can see at a glance the refined Charter questions that had been agreed on by the Sub Team as of end-October. As mentioned on the call, these are all the suggested questions under the Guidance and Verification categories, plus the first question in the Balance category. Since Hyderabad, the Sub Team has made progress on additional questions in the Balance category, which you will see highlighted in green on the Tabulated Categories document. Please provide your comments and feedback, if any, on all these Charter questions that have been refined and agreed by the Sub Team, who will hopefully be in a position to present the remaining Charter questions at the Working Group call next week. We are also attaching the updated Work Plan that was displayed during the call. As with the Sub Team-agreed TMCH Charter questions, please provide your comments and feedback, if any, on the Work Plan as soon as possible. For the information of Working Group members who were not on the call, we hope to receive input shortly from Registries and Registrars on a set of specific questions that had been developed by the TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team – however, we have been informed that, given the workload and amount of requests that these two Stakeholder Groups have been receiving, the input may not be as timely or as comprehensive as we may have hoped. The TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team also developed a set of questions to be sent to the TMCH Providers – following some clarifications based on feedback received from ICANN GDD (who have been working with the TMCH Providers), those questions should be sent to the Providers by the end of this week. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 at 02:45 To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: Proposed agenda and documents for Working Group call this Wednesday Dear Working Group Members, The proposed agenda for our next Working Group meeting this Wednesday is as follows (please note that this is subject to changes that may be made by the WG co-chairs): 1.

Continue review of suggested questions for the review of the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) from the TMCH Charter Questions Sub Team (latest version attached) 3. Review updated Work Plan (attached) 4. Any other business 5. Next steps / next meeting For #2, you may recall that several clarified/refined questions (as agreed by the Sub Team up to that point in time) were presented to the community at ICANN57, although there was not a lot of time for a full discussion. These questions are those in the Guidance and Verification & Data categories, and the first question from the Balance category. For #3, please note that the co-chairs have not yet had a chance to comment on the attached document.

by David Tait Dec. 7, 2016

Dec. 7, 2016

Dear Working Group participants At the Face-to-Face Meeting of the Working Group (WG) in Hyderabad (9 November 2016), it was determined that a small sub-team of WG members should take a quick look at the TM-PDDRP procedures particularly as they pertain to complaints filed by multiple trademark owners against a single registry. Beth Allegretti and Brian Beckham have agreed to undertake this work, however, they would like to extend an invitation to any other WG members to join them. Staff would therefore ask you to reply to this email if you are interested in participating in this work and we make any necessary arrangements. Kind regards, Davi
