Monica Mitchell:hi :-) George Kirikos:Hi Monica. How are you? Monica Mitchell:just fine. excited for our meeting :-) George Kirikos:The TMCH - lots of excitement. :-) George Kirikos:Looks like our attendance is a bit lower than usual today. Elizabeth Featherman:Hi everyone! Sorry I have a meeting at half past so I will drop off early but I look forward to today's call! Paul Tattersfield:Hello everyone George Kirikos:Welcome Paul and Elizabeth. Vinzenz Heussler:Hi everyone Greg Shatan:I also have a (different) meeting at half past, so will be dropping off early as well. George Kirikos:Hi Vinzenz. Philip Corwin:Good day all Mary Wong:Hi all - just a note that David T and I are having connectivity issues so please pardon us if we don't respond as quickly as we normally would George Kirikos:Fit width isn't working properly, hmmm. Vaibhav Aggarwal:and I am back Vaibhav Aggarwal:hi everyone Kathy Kleiman:@Mary: is there a summary documentary? Mary Wong:@Kathy, can you clarify your question? Kathy Kleiman:@Mary: we presented a document of recommended questions in Hyderabad Mary Wong:Yes - and these are captured in the document on screen. As noted on email, the questions displayed in HYD are for the first two categories, and the first question under the Balance category. George Kirikos:Here's a link to the document on the wiki https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di… Vaibhav Aggarwal:+1 Kathy Edward Morris:Agree with Kathy's synposis. We're close. George Kirikos:Dead audio from Mary here. Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Hello all, sorry for being bit late Mary Wong:Sorry for the awful audio, folks :( Kathy Kleiman:We can still hear you Georges Nahitchevansky:I can hear you Vaibhav Aggarwal 2:Nope Vaibhav Aggarwal 2:Need More time Mary Wong:@Vaibhav, what do you think we need extra time for? George Kirikos:Is it just questions for providers, or also questions for the community?? Vaibhav Aggarwal 2:I guess Kathy is answering my question Mary Wong:The TMCH Provider questions, as clarified by the Sub Team, have been put into a single updated document and are good to go Vaibhav Aggarwal 2::-) Mary Wong:@George, just for the TMCH Providers Mary Wong:Similarly, the Sub Team developed questions that were sent to Registries and Registrars George Kirikos:Since some of the questions in the document are more suited to be targeted for community input. The TMCH has a conflict of interest in answering questions like "should there be multiple providers", etc. Mary Wong:@George, the document that was shown earlier is of the Charter questions - that's not the same questions that the Data Gathering Sub Team developed for the TMCH Providers. George Kirikos:Oh, ok. Kathy Kleiman:Sounds good - a final review of the TMCH Charter questions before we move on to addressing them. Kathy Kleiman:I think that was always the idea of the subgroup - agreed! Greg Shatan:I suppose we are operating on the "single reading" principle. Some WGs have been operating on a "two-reading" principle, where nothing gets decided and sent out until it is covered in two meetings. Robin Gross:Really? That seems odd. Mary Wong:@Greg, we will recirculate the Sub Team Charter questions to the full WG. George Kirikos:(FYI: Raised hands appear automatically at the top of the participants list; no need to scroll down) Mary Wong:Note that we are not talking about final documents for publication - and in any case the GNSO has traditionally not used a "two reading" principle, though of course the WG can choose to do so if it wishes. George Kirikos:Bye folks. Have a great day! Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):bye all Paul Tattersfield:bye everyone Georges Nahitchevansky:Bye everyone Robin Gross:Thanks, bye! Darcy Southwell:Thanks, bye. Vaibhav Aggarwal 2:Play Well and enjoy ciao Monica Mitchell:thanks

We received responses from two providers – FORUM and WIPO, for which we thank Brian Beckham, Ty Gray, Daniel Legerski and their colleagues. We also collected sixteen community member responses to the TM-PDDRP Community Survey, including from registrars and intellectual property rights-holders. All the responses, as well as an aggregated data report on the Community Survey, have now been uploaded to the Working Group wiki space here: https://community.icann.org/x/ugqsAw[community.icann.org]. The Working Group co-chairs have asked that Working Group members review these responses in time for our next call on 19 October 2016, where, if time permits, we will start discussing them. At the moment, we anticipate that a fuller review, including community participation, will be the focus of the Working Group’s open meeting at ICANN57 in Hyderabad. This will allow us to complete this initial review of the TM-PDDRP shortly thereafter. FYI the tentative date and time of the open Working Group meeting at ICANN57 is currently Monday 7 November (Day 5 of the meeting), from 11.00-12.30 local Hyderabad time. As with all these sessions, remote participation facilities will be made available for those who will not be present in Hyderabad.
