Dear RPM PDP Working Group members, Please see below the schedule of RPM PDP Working Group (WG) and Sub Team meetings at ICANN64. In particular, please note that the full WG will meet today at Session 1 on Sunday, 10 March and that the Sub Teams will provide progress reports on their analysis of previously collected data and additional data during that meeting. For reference please see the attached presentation and summary tables and note the descriptions provided by Ariel below. Following the full WG meeting, the Sunrise Sub Team will use Sessions 2 and 3 for the development of preliminary recommendations. The Trademark Claims Sub Team will meet in Session 4 for the development of preliminary recommendations. WG members are welcome to attend the Sub Team meetings.

In advance of the RPM sessions which will start on Sunday, 10 March, staff are sharing the summary tables that reflect the Sunrise and Trademark Claims Sub Teams’ discussions/individual comments on all three sets of data related to Sunrise and Trademark Claims, with a view toward answering the agreed questions. The three sets of data are: 1. Analysis Group’s Sunrise & Trademark Claims survey results 2. Previously collected data prior to the launch of the Sunrise & Trademark Claims surveys 3. Additional data submitted by Working Group members in February 2019 Under each agreed question, the following section is included in the summary table: 1. “Data” refers to the data quoted by Sub Team members in their input/comments. 2. “Details” points to the Google Doc homework assignments where Sub Team members provide their input/comments; high level notes of Sub Team meeting discussions are also included in the Google Docs. 3. “Sub Team Discussions” points to the wiki page link(s) of Sub Team meeting(s) when the agreed question was discussed. 4. “Summary of Discussions/Individual Comments” is a summary of comments/input provided by the Sub Team members via the Google Docs and Sub Team meetings. 5. “Not Applicable” refers to the situation where the data reviewed do not really assist in answering the agreed question. In addition, staff also attached the draft slides to be used for the full WG session on Sunday, 10 March at 15:15-16:45 (local time). The slide deck includes the draft slides for the Sub Teams’ reporting to the full WG about its data review, including very high-level summary of the comments/discussions of Sub Team members.

Feedback sought from registrars re: programming languages and CPM rates
by George Kirikos March 7, 2019

March 7, 2019

Hi folks, I was looking for some feedback from registrars who are participating in this PDP, with regards to two items, namely (a) server-side programming languages in production use at registrars, and (b) typical CPM rates to promote 3rd party messages on their consumer-facing domain name registration websites. As we move into the "solutions" or "recommendations" part of our work for TM Claims notices in the subteams, I was contemplating suggesting that, if the TM Claims notices were to be maintained (some might want them to be eliminated entirely), that ICANN create open source sample code in the top programming languages used by registrars, to reduce the implementation costs of complying with the TM Claims notice requirements (i.e. some registrars haven't even offered new gTLDs, due to the high costs of integrating that functionality into their systems). It would be useful to know which programming language(s) dominate amongst registrars (e.g. Java, PHP, server-side Javascript, Python, .... ?), especially amongst those who've **not yet** implemented TM claims notices. As for CPM rates, we know there's a 93.7% abandonment rate (that's already an adjusted figure; the unadjusted figure was 99%) when TM claims notices are shown, as per the Analysis Group's work. Rather than trying to ascertain what the "cost" of that abandonment rate is for registrars (and registry operators), another way to look at things (perhaps more neutrally) might be to ask "What would registrars charge a 3rd party, on a cost-per-thousand impression basis, to deliver a message at checkout time?" e.g. that 3rd party message might be an Office 365 subscription offer, or some other message from a 3rd party within the order flow, i.e. to a qualified buyer who's ready to place an order at checkout time. Conceivably this could (depending on the discussions in the subteams and the broader working group/community) lead to a system whereby registrars get compensated on a CPM basis for delivering those TM Claims notices to the registrant, which would help offset some of the losses experienced due to abandoned shopping carts when a registrant is provided with the TM Claims notice. It could also lead to a variable-cost model for the TMCH, whereby fees are based on the number of times the TM is shown (e.g. a recordal in the TMCH like "CLOUD" or "HOTEL" that is shown more frequently than other recordals would cost more over time than a recordal that generates a TM Claims notice less frequently (say a hypothetical recordal for a small business like "JANE DOE KITCHEN SUPPLIES"). Anyhow, if registrars participating in this PDP have such data on programming languages and/or typical CPM rates on domain name registration sites, it would be greatly appreciated.
