Kathy, You may be correct as to what it existing when it left the STI, but then the IAG was formed (thank Mary for finding that). I was a member of the IAG as were others. Just like the STI made recommendations on how to deal with the IRT report, the IAG made recommendations on how to implement the STI's recommendations. Best regards, Jeffrey J.

When the TMCH Database left the STI, GNSO Council, and ICANN Board acceptance it was an open database. I think we have an interesting issue to review.

The IAG was convened to develop and recommend business requirements around specific issues in the provision of Sunrise and Claims Notification services through the TMCH. The attached document excerpts some text from the IAG's final report that seems to indicate that the IAG considered the question as to whether and why the TMDB was to be a confidential database. Please note that staff is providing this text purely for informational purposes, and takes no position as to whether or not the TMDB should continue to remain confidential.

That is the status quo. In order to change the status quo, it is the proponents for an open system that need to articulate (persuasively) an overriding need or benefit for such a change. J.
