Mediation
by George Kirikos 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi folks, A mediation step within the URS (and also perhaps the UDRP) was discussed on one of our recent calls. I referenced a Nominet presentation made to the IGO PDP that documented the success of their mediation step. An archive of that presentation is at: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/2017-12-12+IGO-INGO+Access… Today there was an interesting blog post on the IPKat blog regarding mandatory mediation for IP disputes being introduced in Greece: http://ipkitten.blogspot.ca/2018/01/a-legislative-initative-that-merits.html Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/

Request for Proposals (RFP) launched for Sunrise & Trademark Claims survey
by Mary Wong 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Dear all, As mentioned previously, and with very helpful support from our colleagues in ICANN’s Procurement Department, staff has launched the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Sunrise and Trademark Claims survey, which is the data collection request that was approved by the GNSO Council in September 2017: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-01-29-en. The proposed timeline (as highlighted to the Working Group), details about the project scope and other relevant information can be found in the RFP documents linked from the announcement. Thank you also to those Working Group members who had submitted names of potential vendors. Cheers Mary, Julie, Ariel and Berry On 1/9/18, 15:48, "gnso-rpm-wg on behalf of Ariel Liang" <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces(a)icann.org on behalf of ariel.liang(a)icann.org> wrote: Hello George, Thanks for your question and comment. The RFP is indeed going to be open to anyone to respond. By gathering vendors suggestions, we aim to facilitate responses to the RFP and not to delay the process due to any potential lack of response. This is also to ensure that the community as an opportunity to provide input to the RFP, as mentioned previously. Gathering vendor suggestions is permissible and encouraged under the standard RFP process, as advised by the ICANN Procurement Team.

RPMs Data Request Table & RFP Update
by Ariel Liang 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hello everyone, Staff preparation for the RFP is close to completion, and ICANN is in position to launch the RFP next week, ahead of the original schedule. To provide vendors with better understanding of the project scope and survey task, as well as to ensure that community-developed guidance is incorporated into the RFP process, the Data Sub Team has agreed to the inclusion of the Data Request Table in the RFP document. Please see attached. Since the document is currently in draft form and still under discussion within the Sub Team, please be assured that there is clarifying note in the RFP document describing the draft status of the Data Request Table. As per direction from the Data Sub Team, staff has generated this clean version that incorporates edits, comments, and instructions provided by the Sub Team. To be accessible to all interested vendors, and for purposes of transparency, the attached Data Request Table will be published on icann.org along with other RFP public documents. The launch of the RFP will not affect the Data Sub Team’s ability to continue working toward the completion of the Data Request Table. There will be a period where ICANN staff answer questions from responding vendors and provide additional information and resources. The final agreed Data Request Table can therefore be included at this stage of the RFP, superseding the earlier draft, and being referenced by respondents in their final RFP responses. We will advise the Data Sub Team of the final internal deadline to finalize the Data Request Table (this is typically about one week before ICANN finalizes responses to send to RFP participants). We greatly appreciate the time and contributions from the Data Sub Team members and the PDP WG Co-Chairs in the development of the document. The inclusion of the document would be very helpful to get suitable vendors and targeted proposal, while meeting the goal of launching the RFP as soon as possible. We will keep the WG apprised of the status of the RFP process. Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Berry, and Ariel

Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from 17 January Working Group Call

Hello everyone, Following up from the action items below from the Working Group call yesterday, 17 January, please find attached the updated draft URS Discussion Document. The document includes the suggested edits to the high-level questions made on the call for which no objections were received, as well as a suggested edit to the RPM Working Group Co-Chairs’ Joint Statement Regarding URS Review. Staff has included notes on the wiki meeting page to facilitate your review of the discussion. See the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/2018-01-17+Review+of+all+R… Staff continues to work on the “parking lot” document that will contain all other suggestions made after the ICANN60 sessions and will circulate that when it is ready. We hope that both documents, along with the session and call recordings and transcripts, will reflect the Working Group’s deliberations to date on scoping a review of the URS. Also, as previously noted, there will not be a Working Group call next week (24 January), as the staff team will all be attending the Policy Department’s annual strategic planning meeting and will not be available to support a call. The next Working Group call after this week’s 17 January call will therefore be on 1 February at 0400 UTC (for North/Latin American members, this will be the evening/night of 31 January). Thanks and cheers Mary, Julie, Ariel and Berry From: gnso-rpm-wg <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at 5:51 PM To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from 17 January Working Group Call Dear all, The action items noted by staff from the Working Group call held on 17 January 2018 are as follows: -- Staff will update the high-level questions in the Compilation of Current URS Discussion Documents based on the suggested edits from the 17 January meeting.

Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from 10 January Working Group Call
by Mary Wong 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hello Brian, Greg and all, It is up to each Working Group to determine what are the most appropriate and effective methods and formats for conducting their work, so, for instance, while Google Docs are used by the Subsequent Procedures Working Group and the Cross Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds, it is not used by the RDS Working Group or (to date) by this group except in the Sub Teams. Staff would like to note, however, that in our experience Google Docs can be difficult to manage in a group with a large active membership, where multiple people may wish to comment regularly. We have also experienced a number of problems with Google Docs in the Sub Teams, including member confusion about whether edits were inserted (as opposed to comments/suggestions) between versions before the group was able to discuss proposed changes, and some technical issues on the part of a few users. In addition, members in certain countries have periodic difficulties accessing Google tools (including Google Docs), though there are usually workarounds if needed. You may be interested to know that the GNSO Review Working Group (the group developing recommendations to assist with and assess implementation of the GNSO review that was recently completed) has endorsed the current approach where each Working Group determines the best tools for its work. For purposes of Brian’s question, staff would like to suggest that the easiest and quickest way forward at this stage – given that the Working Group has already worked on the single Draft URS Discussion Document for some time – is for Working Group members to continue to send their suggestions and comments to the mailing list. In doing so, we request that you be specific about the section/column/row in the table that you are commenting on. Staff will collect all comments sent to the list and revert to the group with a proposal on how to either incorporate or handle them. In this regard, we note that we are already creating a “parking lot” document that is intended to be the repository for new suggestions (rather than comments on existing ones), so some suggestions received may be appropriate for placing there. We hope this is useful. Cheers Mary, Julie, Ariel and Berry From: Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 00:43 To: Ariel Manoff <amanoff(a)vmf.com.ar> Cc: "BECKHAM, Brian" <brian.beckham(a)wipo.int>, Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org>, gnso-rpm-wg <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from 10 January Working Group Call Agree with Hector and Brian. We could use Google Docs so that we have a single document, while still allowing the document itself to be edited. This has worked well for a number of WGs and Subgroups. Google Doc's "suggest" function is similar to "track changes" and will allow readers to zero in on the changes.
