Dear Working Group Members,

Just a friendly reminder that the poll (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WV26DQK) to assess Working Group members’ views on treatment of certain types of design marks and geographical indications is still open. The poll will close on 23:59 UTC on Monday, 10 July, so please be sure to submit your responses by that date/time. A reference guide with definitions and examples of types of marks referred to in the poll questions is attached to this email.

As noted below, the poll is to only be taken by Working Group members. Thanks to the Working Group members who have already submitted responses.

Thanks.

Amr

Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] FOR ACTION: Working Group members' poll on open TMCH questions

Dear all,

Please be informed that the poll to assess the sense of all members of the Working Group, in relation to certain types of design marks (i.e. stylized and composite marks) and to treatment of geographical indications, is now open. Please be sure to fill in your response by 23.59 UTC on Monday 10 July: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WV26DQK[surveymonkey.com].

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• The Working Group co-chairs, assisted by staff, have developed a Reference Guide containing relevant definitions (i.e. of “stylized marks” and “composite marks”) as well as of relevant examples. This Reference Guide is attached for your convenience, and it should be consulted as Working Group members go through the survey, which consists of 11 substantive questions and we believe ought not to take too much time to fill in.

Finally, please also note – the poll should be taken only by Working Group members, and not observers.

Thanks and cheers

Mary
