by Julie Hedlund Feb. 4, 2020

Feb. 4, 2020

Dear RPM WG members, Please find the proposed agenda and materials below for the WG meeting on Wednesday, 05 February 2020 at 18:00-19:30 UTC. Please note re: Deliberations of the Working Group: URS – Draft of Initial Report Text: The URS recommendations and questions have already been discussed and approved by the WG. In addition, the URS context language is based on the Super Consolidated Table that the Sub Teams presented to the WG and that was approved by the WG. As is the GNSO's practice, the document is being circulated for the purpose of ensuring that WG members are comfortable with the format and overall coverage of the recommendations and deliberations. Please remember that the Initial Report is meant to focus on specific recommendations/proposals, with brief, relevant, accompanying rationale, rather than be a comprehensive record of the WG's deliberations. WG members are reminded that comments in the Google docs should be limited only to error corrections that you believe are necessary. The documents will be open for comment until COB Tuesday, 04 February. After that time they will be closed to comment. While they are closed comments will not be visible, but they will be displayed during the WG meeting. Draft Proposed Agenda: 1. Review Agenda and Updates to Statements of Interest 2. Continue Discussion of Deliberations of the Working Group: URS – Draft of Initial Report Text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wZWow09gE6-YmZYcty81CT2Tujm-3vTZE7lHj2f… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…> 3.

by Julie Hedlund Jan. 29, 2020

Jan. 29, 2020

Dear All, Please see below the action items captured by staff from the RPM PDP Working Group call held on 29 January 2019 at 18:00 UTC. Staff will post these to the wiki space. Please note that these are high-level notes and are not meant as a substitute for the recording, chat room, or transcript. The recording, Zoom chat, transcript and attendance records are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/2020-01-29+Review+of+all+R…. Best Regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director == NOTES & ACTION ITEMS Actions: Review Determinations re: URS Individual Proposals: https://docs.google.com/document/d/110tgExAlgzrCbuiy0OiefXG2mKbo_SCLrU037zE…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…> Proposals #18, #19, and #20: ACTION ITEM: Co-Chairs to review the determination on these three proposals. Discussion of Deliberations of the Working Group: URS – Draft of Initial Report Text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wZWow09gE6-YmZYcty81CT2Tujm-3vTZE7lHj2f… ACTION ITEM: WG members to review the Google document prior to the meeting on 05 February and will continue the discussion of recommendation #3 during the meeting. Notes: 1. Updates to Statements of Interest: No updates provided. 2. Complete Discussion of Deliberations of the Working Group: Sunrise & Claims – Draft of Initial Report Text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-AUekmrPgnPge6-pt57EFqnQH4DY3R0OY_zmtT2… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…> The WG addressed the revised document based on the action items from the meeting on 22 January as follows: ACTION ITEM: Sunrise Recommendation #5: Staff will confirm whether there is any basis for using the term “in general” such as a reference to specific questions/exceptions. -- The use of "in general" in this recommendation does not link to any specific example or question for community input. Staff believe that this phrase is used to reflect some WG member's belief that the current minimum period was insufficient -- e.g., one WG proposed an increase of the notification period based on the number of gTLDs scheduled to launch concurrently. This proposal did not receive wide support, and the WG did not put forward this proposal as a question for community input either. Therefore, staff suggested deleting "in general" in the recommendation itself, noting that the WG's deliberation on the aforementioned proposal has been captured in the "Context" section: "...To address this unintended consequence, one WG member proposed to increase the notification period, but the proposal did not receive wide support for inclusion in the Initial Report for public comment. " ACTION ITEM: Trademark Claims Recommendations #1 and #2: Combine Recommendations #1 and #2, but without rewriting. -- Staff has combined the recommendations but retained the original text. -- Little bit of overlap of the language, but clearly shows that they are linked. ACTION ITEM: Trademark Claims Recommendation #3 (now #2): Second bullet: Change to "The Claims Notice should include a link to a web page on the ICANN Org website containing translations of the Claims Notice in all six UN languages". -- Staff have made that change. No further comments from the WG. ACTION ITEM: Trademark Claims Recommendation #5 (now #4): Staff will check the full text to note whether there is a link between the use of “in general” and a specific example/question; in those cases we will retain the terminology, if not then staff will suggesting deleting “in general”. -- Suggest keeping this "in general" and added the note to provide context. -- Note: Some WG members asked for public comment on potential exemptions which would then not be subject to a Claims Period of any length, see Trademark Claims Question #2. ACTION ITEM: Trademark Claims Question #1: Add a footnote to define “manually hand-registered domains”. -- Staff switch the order of the questions #1 and #2 as it seemed more logical. -- Added note on #2: “Note: This question is related to Trademark Claims Recommendations #4 and #5. “ -- Added footnote on #2: “Manually hand-registered domains literally refer to the domains registered manually at a registrar by hand. In other words, it is the practice of registering a new domain name without the use of automated robots or automated computer systems that search for and register domain names; those domain names are purchased new and not on an after-market system. In the context of Trademark Claims Question #2, it refers to the domain name that is registered manually following the specific registry policy.” 3. Review Determinations re: URS Individual Proposals: https://docs.google.com/document/d/110tgExAlgzrCbuiy0OiefXG2mKbo_SCLrU037zE…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…> -- The section of the Initial Report on URS Individual Proposals will include a summary of deliberations and context and note where there are specific questions for comment. -- Include whether or not the commenters agree that the proposed action should be taken. Make it clear what we are asking the public to comment on. Proposals #18, #19, and #20: -- Concerns expressed about bias in decision-making on what proposals are published or not; criteria was never clear. -- The Co-Chairs did their best to size up support. -- Co-Chairs are mindful of the fact that the URS is a narrow remedy; doesn’t mean the proposal that couldn’t be addressed under UDRP in Phase 2. -- Grave concerns were expressed in the WG that these proposals were not feasible. -- If not consensus, tell us what the standard was: the sense of the WG is a standard, but it sounds an awful lot like a majority standard, which is wrong.  -- Consensus was not the standard, and many individual proposals that did not have majority support in the survey or among WG members are being put out for community comment. But not proposals that had virtually no support and significant opposition. -- Note that there is just one WG member in opposition to the decision not to publish. -- Other unworkable proposals also should be removed. -- Concerns about how the determination was made and the criteria used. ACTION: Co-Chairs to review the decision on these three proposals. 4. Begin Discussion of Deliberations of the Working Group: URS – Draft of Initial Report Text: URS Recommendation #1: -- re: “URS Procedure para 3.3: Given the rapid nature of this Procedure, and the intended low level of required fees, there will be no opportunity to correct inadequacies in the filing requirements.” Staff will check to see if this is the correct language. It was a cut and paste from the URS procedure. Start with Recommendation #3 at the next meeting.

Dear RPM WG members, This is a reminder. Please find the proposed agenda and materials below for the WG meeting on Wednesday, 29 January 2020 at 18:00-19:30 UTC. Please note re: Deliberations of the Working Group: Sunrise & Claims, and URS – Draft of Initial Report Text: With respect to the deliberations on the URS recommendations and questions, this is similar in format to Sunrise and Trademark Claims in that the recommendations and questions have already been discussed by the WG.

As is the GNSO's practice, the document is being circulated for the purpose of ensuring that WG members are comfortable with the format and overall coverage of the recommendations and deliberations. Please remember that the Initial Report is meant to focus on specific recommendations/proposals, with brief, relevant, accompanying rationale, rather than be a comprehensive record of the WG's deliberations.

Deliberations of the Working Group: Sunrise & Claims – Draft of Initial Report Text Sunrise Recommendation #5: – why do we have “in general”? -- Implies incorrectly that there will be some exceptions. Carryover from “generally”. ACTION ITEM: Put in brackets the suggestion to delete “in general”. Staff will confirm whether there is any basis for that language.

ACTION ITEM: Second bullet: Change to "The Claims Notice should include a link to a web page on the ICANN Org website containing translations of the Claims Notice in all six UN languages". Trademark Claims Recommendation #5: -- Use of “in general” refers to the related Trademark Claims Question #1. -- Instead of “in general” include the reference to Question #1. -- Since we are asking these questions about possible exceptions to the current requirement re Claims Period - we should specify that in the Recommendation rather than just using the vague "in general" language Same goes for the other Recommendation(s) for which we obliquely acknowledge these issues using "in general" language. -- Suggest keeping the wording as it. ACTION ITEM: Staff will check the full text to note whether there is a link between the use of “in general” and a specific example/question; in those cases we will retain the terminology, if not then staff will suggesting deleting “in general”. Trademark Claims Recommendation #6: -- Related to Recommendation #5. Should these be combined? -- I think in this case, there are some nuances to 5 and 6 that support leaving them separate... one talks about maintaining mandatory Claims and the other talks about uniformity for all gTLD types. Sunrise Question #4: -- 4a: This part seems duplicative as Sunrise Question #3d similarly asks for suggested path to improvement. Does the WG want to keep this part? -- Suggest keeping it the way it is – reference it in both sections. Trademark Claims Question #1: ACTION ITEM: Add a footnote to define “manually hand-registered domains”.
