Dear Working Group members,

The co-chairs wish to find out if it will be feasible to hold a Working Group call next week. As such, please respond to this email if you plan to attend the call. Please do so by the close of your business day on Monday 31 July so that a decision can be made as to whether to proceed with the call.

If the call does proceed, a likely agenda will focus on those Preamble questions, and if time permits, Question 1, all from the Sunrise report – note that these questions were not identified as requiring data collection as a pre-condition.

Additional notes/reminders:

Staff and the co-chairs are continuing to work on the data collection suggestions for Sunrise. A number of those suggestions can be combined either because they target the same audience or sources, or because the exercise will likely utilize the same methodology. Some proposals will also require professional assistance (e.g. survey design). The Working Group should expect to see a collated proposal document in the next couple of weeks containing these additional details.

There are also a few outstanding Action Items from the last two Working Group calls, which we hope you can review and comment on:

From 19 July – edits to the Trademark Claims document, updated and circulated by staff on 20 July to address suggestions made on the Working Group call of 19 July: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/66091891/Trademark%20Claims%20Sub%20Team%20report%20-%20updated%2020%20July.docx?version=1&modificationDate=1501266083536&api=v2

From 26 July – Sunrise data collection suggestions and links to UDRP and URS decisions on design marks (provided by Griffin Barnett): https://community.icann.org/x/BwAhB

Thanks and cheers
