Thanks George. Having the list public serves many benefits, least of all to allow registrars that could not offer new TLDs until the claims phases closed to see these domains from day one simply because their systems di not allow for processing of these notices. I heard a few statements to the effect that it would have been no issue if a list had been provided but having to change the code for the additional query and outputting the notice was either impossible or just too expensive for some registrars. But even if the side that wants to prevent the publication of the list prevails this does not mean that the "parallel sunrise" would not work. The registry could simply query the TMCH for each registration request as part of the registration process during the parallel sunrise phase and only process the registration if either the TMCH responds with a negative or if the proper TMCH file is included in the registration request. This could work similar to the current claims process and would therefore not even need that much implementation work. It would not help the registrars that currently adopt new gTLDs late, but it would not worsen their situation either. I will admit to one issue of this proposal for trademark owners and that is that they would not be protected against normal registrations if they only enter their mark into the TMCH during the period, but I feel that issue is minor enough and easily preventable by proper planning.

Hi Volker,

This proposal would simply add one further category of names that would be reserved for the general public, but open for registration by authorized entities. The TMCH would provide the list to the registry operators. I believe the TM folks had a grave concern about that "list" of TMCH marks being made public (which effectively would be the case, if it was simply handed over to many registry operators). Given the number of distinct registry operators that would have access to it, each one would have plausible deniability as it got leaked/distributed, and it would be impossible to identify the source/leaker who 'violated' any terms restricting its use.
That list could then form the basis of premium names lists, amongst other issues, in their eyes.
I don't have any problems with that list being public and/or "effectively" public and widely distributed, though. It's been repeatedly asked for by Paul Keating and others in this PDP as well, so that we can dive deep and research the topics at stake in this review of RPMs.
Sincerely,
