Dear all, Please find below and attached the first report to the GNSO Council from our Working Group, relating to the status of work on the Sunrise and Trademark Claims data collection effort that the Council approved in September 2017. The Council resolution approving that request expressly includes a further request that an initial update be provided by the Working Group co-chairs by December 2017 (this took place at the Council’s December 2017 meeting), with monthly written reports thereafter. Thanks and cheers Mary, Julie, Ariel & Berry From: council <council-bounces@gnso.icann.org> on behalf of Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org> Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at 22:23 To: "council@gnso.icann.org" <council@gnso.icann.org> Cc: Kathy Kleiman <kathy@kathykleiman.com> Subject: [council] RPM Working Group status report on its Council-approved data collection exercise Dear Councilors, Please find attached the first report from the RPM Review PDP Working Group, summarizing where things stand with the extensive data collection effort that the Council approved in September 2017, for the Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs. You may recall that the Council’s approval also expressly requested monthly reports beginning in January 2018. As the Request for Proposal was issued at the end of January, with interested potential vendors beginning to engage in February, the report consolidates the January and February activities. It also includes the full RFP timeline. Please let staff or the current Working Group chairs (Kathy Kleiman and Phil Corwin, cc’d on this email) know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you! Cheers Mary
