RPM Working Group Co-Chair
by Julie Hedlund March 5, 2018

March 5, 2018

Dear Working Group members, On behalf of Heather Forrest, Chair of the GNSO Council, Kathy and Philip, Co-Chairs of the RPM Working Group, we are informing you that J. Scott has decided to resign as Co-Chair effective Friday, 02 March. We are all very grateful for J. Scott’s dedication and thoughtful leadership of this Working Group since its inception. At this time we are asking Working Group members to consider the importance for this group to continue to have a third Co-Chair to assist in the administration of its large and complex agenda and encourage members to immediately begin consideration of volunteering or nominating someone else. We also would like to suggest that the Working Group could reserve time during our face-to-face meetings on Saturday, 10 March at ICANN61, to discuss the Co-Chair selection process; based on our recent survey these will be the full WG meetings with the greatest member participation. For your guidance, please see below the relevant sections of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines on how Working Group leaders are selected. Note that holding an election is not mandatory. It is up to the Working Group to determine whether and how it wishes to appoint an additional Chair. In addition, although (as noted below) the GNSO Council must confirm the appointment via its consent agenda, in the meantime, if the Working Group agrees on an additional chair, he/she can begin serving as an interim appointee. We look forward to hearing from the Working Group on how best to proceed. Best regards, Mary, Ariel, Berry and Julie GNSO Working Group Guidelines: https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-30jan18-en.pdf… 2.1.4.2 Election of the WG Leaders Unless a Chair has already been named by the Chartering Organization, normally a Chair will be selected at the first meeting of the WG. Until that time, the Chartering Organization’s liaison may fulfill the role of interim Chair. A Working Group may elect to have Co-Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Under extraordinary circumstances, ICANN staff may be requested to perform administrative co- ordination of the WG until such time a Chair can be appointed. Once selected, a Working Group Chair will need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization (CO). The newly elected Chair will act on a provisional basis until the Chartering Organization has confirmed the appointment. If there are any objections to the selected Chair, the CO will conduct a vote to establish whether there is sufficient support for the selected Chair according to the voting procedures of the CO. If not, the Working Group will be requested to reconsider their choice for Chair and return to the CO with a new proposal. In the unlikely event that the selected Chair is rejected by the CO, the CO must articulate its reason for the rejection and the WG must be able to ask for reconsideration of the decision. Section 2.2: A suggested procedure to conduct elections may be: • Nominations or self-nominations; • Statements of qualifications from candidates, which sets forth the qualifications, qualities and experience that they possess that will serve the particular WG; • Vote by simple majority; • Notification of and subsequent confirmation by the Chartering Organization of results of actions”.

Additional Update - RPMs Data Request Table
by Ariel Liang Feb. 28, 2018

Feb. 28, 2018

Hello everyone, The Data Sub Team has provided one additional note about the rationale to include or not include a hypothetical question (page 27). The additional note is on page 28-29 of the attached updated document. Staff have shared this update with the Procurement Team to forward to the responding vendors today. Thank you, Mary, Julie, Berry, and Ariel From: gnso-rpm-wg <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, February 23, 2018 at 8:48 PM To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] Updated RPMs Data Request Table Hello everyone, The Data Sub Team has completed their deliberation on the Data Request Table. The updated version (attached) includes additional suggested draft survey questions, comments, instructions, as well as charter questions related to the additional marketplace RPMs that are within the scope of Sunrise and Trademark Claims services. Staff will forward this document, which supersedes the earlier draft initially included in the RFP, to participating vendors. Monday, 26 February is the deadline for ICANN to answer questions from vendors and provide them additional information to use in their final RFP responses. So far, seven (7) vendors had declared interest and are in process developing their proposals. 9 March 2018 is the deadline of proposal submission. We greatly appreciate the time and hard work from the Data Sub Team members and the PDP WG Co-Chairs in the development and timely completion of the document. Have a great weekend! Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Berry, and Ariel From: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at 5:15 PM To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: RPMs Data Request Table & RFP Update 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

Importing creates a one-time snapshot of your schedule and copies it into Outlook. If you subsequently make changes to your Pathable calendar, they will not be reflected in Outlook. 2. Subscribing creates a live feed of your schedule in Outlook. Outlook checks for changes every few hours and updates your calendar appropriately. * For Outlook calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/81449-moving-your-schedu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> * For Google calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/1313-moving-your-schedul…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> Step 3 All Adobe Connect rooms (which can be found on the session information on the Meeting Schedule<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__61.schedule.icann.org_…> and on the GNSO Remote Participation wiki page<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>) will provide audio streaming only Adobe Connect room microphones will not be enabled.

Updated RPMs Data Request Table
by Ariel Liang Feb. 24, 2018

Feb. 24, 2018

Hello everyone, The Data Sub Team has completed their deliberation on the Data Request Table. The updated version (attached) includes additional suggested draft survey questions, comments, instructions, as well as charter questions related to the additional marketplace RPMs that are within the scope of Sunrise and Trademark Claims services. Staff will forward this document, which supersedes the earlier draft initially included in the RFP, to participating vendors. Monday, 26 February is the deadline for ICANN to answer questions from vendors and provide them additional information to use in their final RFP responses. So far, seven (7) vendors had declared interest and are in process developing their proposals. 9 March 2018 is the deadline of proposal submission. We greatly appreciate the time and hard work from the Data Sub Team members and the PDP WG Co-Chairs in the development and timely completion of the document. Have a great weekend! Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Berry, and Ariel From: Ariel Liang <ariel.liang(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at 5:15 PM To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org> Subject: RPMs Data Request Table & RFP Update 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
