Hi all,

In advance of tomorrow’s call, I am requesting that we continue discussion on the merits of TMCH Question #7.    Upon reflection, at the end of the last WG call, we neither discussed the public comments nor debated the underlying merits of the positions regarding opening of the TMCH.

As we are all aware, we are not debating whether or not there has been abuse of the TMCH.  The only question is how much abuse has occurred.  

Further, those opposed to opening the TMCH DB to oversight appear to object on the basis that cybersquatters and wrongdoers will abuse the newly opened DB.   It does not appear that anyone rejects having oversight of the TMCH or an ability to ensure that it is operating correctly (without abuse).    Moreover, Deliotte itself commented that the TMCH should transition from a closed to open and searchable DB with the understanding that it is up to the ICANN Community to make the determination.   I recall we had discussed some compromise positions that were being considered as a way to bring oversight while protecting against cybersquatters.

Accordingly, I request that we be prepared to continue the discussion on the merits of TMCH Question 7 and find a workable position as a WG to review the TMCH and avoid abuse.

Regards,

Jason
