If you have technical difficulty accessing the online form, please contact ariel.liang@icann.org<mailto:ariel.liang@icann.org> for assistance. Detailed requirements for individual proposals are included below. Best Regards, Mary, Julie, Berry, Ariel == As noted in Section 7 of the Co-Chairs’ Proposed Process for Sunrise and Trademark Claims Sub Teams: * Individual WG members may submit their additional proposals, on behalf of one or more members, (including any specific proposals that were raised during earlier discussions, e.g., during the WG’s previous (January to July 2017) discussions of the TMCH when proposals relating to its structure and operations were solicited) to the relevant Sub Teams: * The submission period will open on 31 January 2019 and remain open till 27 March 2019; * WG members do not necessarily need to rely on Sub Team proposals to develop individual proposals (this is why the submission period for individual proposals opens before the Sub Teams complete their discussion of and make decisions on Sub Team proposals); * Each individual proposal shall be succinct and specific, and may be accompanied by a justification statement of no more than 500 words. It should state the operational or policy rationale for the proposal, and should also cite any evidence in support of it. Such evidence may be information developed by the relevant Sub Team, or documented in other sources; * Sub Teams conduct the initial vetting of individual proposals, determine the level of support within the Sub Teams (e.g., based on data collected), and recommend to the full 3 WG whether to include each of the individual proposals in the Initial Report for the solicitation of public comment, along with an accompanying rationale; * The Sub Teams’ Summary Tables and reports to the WG should note which individual proposals constitute Sub Team recommendations for inclusion in the Initial Report (using the same standard of wide support as for Sub Team proposals, above) and which do not.
