Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] FW: TMCH data on abandonment
"what we don't know probably exceeds what we do² Could NOT agree more. I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following: A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data. Paul On 6/9/17, 6:22 PM, "Phil Corwin" <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces@icann.org on behalf of psc@vlaw-dc.com> wrote:

I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

Brain. Point taken. I don¹t mean to be flippant. That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

J. Scott, respectfully, what evidence is there that the Claims notice provided to registrants is not having a chilling effect for those with no intention to infringe? I understand there is not direct evidence on either side of the issue, but to say decisively that it is "Not so" about the chilling effect without providing some evidence seems unnecessarily flippant.

I will remind the group that Abandonment is the point. The TM
Claims notice is designed to inform would-be innocent infringers that there is an issue. A high abandonment rate show that the system is working. I realize those hostile to the TM Claims feel that a high abandonment rate is proof that the Claims notice is overreaching. Not so.

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

This thread has wound on quite a bit since Brian's original post, but since my name came up in his let me add a few thoughts.
Brian's email stated:
In the transcript for the Sub Team for Trademark Claims call on Friday, 02
June 2017 at 16:00 UTC, there was some discussion on abandonment rates... Phil Corwin suggested that if the non-TMCH-related abandonment rate was 80% then it may be reasonable to conclude that there¹s not a material difference between those subject to claims notices.
Mindful that it may be difficult or even impossible to obtain the desired data (a number of reasons, including competitive (dis-)advantages, were raised on the call), a recent GoDaddy post informs us that ³An average website loses 69 percent of sales to abandoned carts.² A second GoDaddy article suggests it is 67%.
I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

J. Scott, respectfully, what evidence is there that the Claims notice provided to registrants is not having a chilling effect for those with no intention to infringe?

In the transcript for the Sub Team for Trademark Claims call on Friday, 02 June 2017 at 16:00 UTC, there was some discussion on abandonment rates. In summary: Rebeca Tushnet suggested it would be helpful to compare non-TMCH-related abandonment vs ³regular² abandonment.

There are many articles on this topic with varying
figures, but they tended
to generally note abandonment rates upwards of 60%.
The takeaway is that the TMCH-Claims rates observed here in the WG, while different/higher, are arguably not materially different than e-commerce statistics generally (certainly not the 20% noted by Phil Corwin as signaling ³a significant difference in the completion of registration.²).
It is important here to recall too that many members of the WG have noted that (for a number of reasons) registries, registrars, and registrants may have been sending queries in large numbers, thus skewing the data upwards.

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

This thread has wound on quite a bit since Brian's original post, but since my name came up in his let me add a few thoughts.
Brian's email stated:
In the transcript for the Sub Team for Trademark Claims call on Friday, 02
June 2017 at 16:00 UTC, there was some discussion on abandonment rates... Phil Corwin suggested that if the non-TMCH-related abandonment rate was 80% then it may be reasonable to conclude that there¹s not a material difference between those subject to claims notices.
Mindful that it may be difficult or even impossible to obtain the desired data (a number of reasons, including competitive (dis-)advantages, were raised on the call), a recent GoDaddy post informs us that ³An average website loses 69 percent of sales to abandoned carts.² A second GoDaddy article suggests it is 67%.
I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

J. Scott, respectfully, what evidence is there that the Claims notice provided to registrants is not having a chilling effect for those with no intention to infringe? I understand there is not direct evidence on either side of the issue, but to say decisively that it is "Not so" about the chilling effect without providing some evidence seems unnecessarily flippant.

I will remind the group that Abandonment is the point. The TM Claims notice is designed to inform would-be innocent infringers that there is an issue. A high abandonment rate show that the system is working. I realize those hostile to the TM Claims feel that a high abandonment rate is proof that the Claims notice is overreaching. Not so.

In summary: Rebeca Tushnet suggested it would be helpful to compare non-TMCH-related abandonment vs ³regular² abandonment.

There are many articles on this topic with varying
figures, but they tended
to generally note abandonment rates upwards of 60%.
The takeaway is that the TMCH-Claims rates observed here in the WG, while different/higher, are arguably not materially different than e-commerce statistics generally (certainly not the 20% noted by Phil Corwin as signaling ³a significant difference in the completion of registration.²).
It is important here to recall too that many members of the WG have noted that (for a number of reasons) registries, registrars, and registrants may have been sending queries in large numbers, thus skewing the data upwards.

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

This thread has wound on quite a bit since Brian's original post, but since my name came up in his let me add a few thoughts.
Brian's email stated:
In the transcript for the Sub Team for Trademark Claims call on Friday, 02
June 2017 at 16:00 UTC, there was some discussion on abandonment rates... Phil Corwin suggested that if the non-TMCH-related abandonment rate was 80% then it may be reasonable to conclude that there¹s not a material difference between those subject to claims notices.
Mindful that it may be difficult or even impossible to obtain the desired data (a number of reasons, including competitive (dis-)advantages, were raised on the call), a recent GoDaddy post informs us that ³An average website loses 69 percent of sales to abandoned carts.² A second GoDaddy article suggests it is 67%.
I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

J. Scott, respectfully, what evidence is there that the Claims notice provided to registrants is not having a chilling effect for those with no intention to infringe?

I will remind the group that Abandonment is the point. The TM Claims notice is designed to inform would-be innocent infringers that there is an issue. A high abandonment rate show that the system is working. I realize those hostile to the TM Claims feel that a high abandonment rate is proof that the Claims notice is overreaching. Not so.

In summary: Rebeca Tushnet suggested it would be helpful to compare non-TMCH-related abandonment vs ³regular² abandonment.

There are many articles on this topic with varying
figures, but they tended
to generally note abandonment rates upwards of 60%.
The takeaway is that the TMCH-Claims rates observed here in the WG, while different/higher, are arguably not materially different than e-commerce statistics generally (certainly not the 20% noted by Phil Corwin as signaling ³a significant difference in the completion of registration.²).
It is important here to recall too that many members of the WG have noted that (for a number of reasons) registries, registrars, and registrants may have been sending queries in large numbers, thus skewing the data upwards.

Dear Paul and everyone, Just FYI that, as part of the Trademark Claims Sub Team discussion, the question of how to obtain data from registrars was discussed, with the Sub Team noting that it may be understandable that registrars may be reluctant to disclose information that may impinge on confidentiality or competitiveness. We understand that the Registrars Stakeholder Group has been discussing possible methods of sharing information that may reduce these risks. Because it has been difficult to obtain data from registries and registrars for these and other reasons, considering how to minimize the concerns of these contracted parties in relation to data disclosure may be one topic for the Working Group to discuss after the Sunrise and Trademark Claims Sub Teams make their final suggestions about data collection to the full Working Group.

Thanks you for that clarification, Mary. Also, as I read Paul's email he was not advocating the public disclosure of TMCH registered mark data. What his email suggested was: If it is an issue of >>> confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to >>> Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be >>> retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. I would think there are ways to allow staff or a third party analyst to review the marks in the database while maintaining the same prohibitions against public release that the TMCH has maintained. Perhaps Deloitte or IBM can even perform any requested analysis. Best, Philip Philip S.

We understand that the Registrars Stakeholder Group has been discussing possible methods of sharing information that may reduce these risks. Because it has been difficult to obtain data from registries and registrars for these and other reasons, considering how to minimize the concerns of these contracted parties in relation to data disclosure may be one topic for the Working Group to discuss after the Sunrise and Trademark Claims Sub Teams make their final suggestions about data collection to the full Working Group.

Late last week (in case you missed it) I pointed out that we actually do have data available in the monthly registry reports that could be used to do "event studies", to determine if the behaviour of various metrics change after the TM Claims notice period ends, see: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-June/002112.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-June/002113.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2017-June/002115.html While not identical to the consumer metrics at the registrar level, it can still help identify whether the TM Claims are having an impact, by studying correlated statistics.

Just for clarification: The disclosure of a list of publicly registered rights that by themselves can be researched in any trademark database is considered unthinkable, but the publication of the private address details of every registrant is very much a reasonable ask? The two positions seem to be diametrically opposed but it is the same people supporting both positions, so there must be some logic there that escapes me.

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

I will remind the group that Abandonment is the point. The TM Claims notice is designed to inform would-be innocent infringers that there is an issue. A high abandonment rate show that the system is working. I realize those hostile to the TM Claims feel that a high abandonment rate is proof that the Claims notice is overreaching. Not so. J. Scott

Just for clarification:
The disclosure of a list of publicly registered rights that by themselves can be researched in any trademark database is considered unthinkable, but the publication of the private address details of every registrant is very much a reasonable ask?
The two positions seem to be diametrically opposed but it is the same people supporting both positions, so there must be some logic there that escapes me.

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

This thread has wound on quite a bit since Brian's original post, but since my name came up in his let me add a few thoughts.

I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

Hi Marie and All, The question of whether the TMCH Database will remain closed or become open (or something in between) is one of our original TMCH Charter questions now moved until after our TM Claims and Sunrise Period discussions. We agree to return to it at the end of our TMCH review when we have more information. Quick note that we have heard from trademark experts on both sides of the issue: of the need for confidentiality and of concerns such confidentiality raises for oversight and transparency of the TMCH process. Much to discuss when we return to this issue/question! Best, Kathy On 6/12/2017 8:44 AM, Marie Pattullo wrote:

Could NOT agree more.
I suggest we focus on what information we need in order to properly analyze and discuss the issue. For this I see us in need of the following:
A listing of the marks in the TMCH Information from registrars that may indicate abandonment in the context of the claims notice process. I cannot seriously believe that the registrars do not have this data given its importance in the continued process of refining the UI and maximizing revenues. If it is an issue of confidentiality, I am happy to limit the disclosure of the information to Staff or if that is not acceptable then to a third party who can be retained (and paid) to review and analyze the data for us. Failing that we could perhaps approach several of the larger registrars in this area (new Gtld registrations) and ask that they run a test for a specified period. IF that results in a delay we can defer this issue until we have the data.

This thread has wound on quite a bit since Brian's original post, but since my name came up in his let me add a few thoughts.
Brian's email stated:
In the transcript for the Sub Team for Trademark Claims call on Friday, 02
June 2017 at 16:00 UTC, there was some discussion on abandonment rates... Phil Corwin suggested that if the non-TMCH-related abandonment rate was 80% then it may be reasonable to conclude that there¹s not a material difference between those subject to claims notices.
Mindful that it may be difficult or even impossible to obtain the desired data (a number of reasons, including competitive (dis-)advantages, were raised on the call), a recent GoDaddy post informs us that ³An average website loses 69 percent of sales to abandoned carts.² A second GoDaddy article suggests it is 67%. I haven¹t reviewed the transcript of that call, but I just pulled the 80% number out of a hat and my intended point was that if there was just a small difference between abandonment rates of initiated domain registrations that did and did not generate claims notices then it might be reasonable to conclude that the received warning was having its intended targeted effect (deterring cybersquatting) and not causing significant abandonment of non-infringing domain registrations.
It appears that the GoDaddy cart abandonment statistics relate to general ecommerce websites and not specifically to registrar websites so it would be useful to get data from registrars as to what their general cart abandonment rate is. But if it is 68% for initiated domain registrations then the 94.7 abandonment rate measured by the Analysis group would be 39.2% higher and that would seem statistically significant and indicative that non-infringing registrations may be deterred. (Noting for the record that we don't know how many of the abandoned registrations measured by AG were never intended to go to completion but were initiated for other purposes -- and that of the abandoned attempts that were intended to be completed we have no way of knowing which were initiated by intentional cybersquatters and which came from innocent parties with no infringing intent and whose actual domain use would not have been infringing.)
We also don't know the effect of a claims warning receipt on an intentional cybersquatters versus innocent would-be registrants. Just as warning signs of home security systems may not deter a professional burglar, intentional cybersquatters may know the risk of detection and factor it into their business model. On the other hand, outside the ICANN bubble, most would be domain registrants are unlikely to have a law degree and upon receiving a notice warning of potential legal consequences if they complete the transaction may decide they don't wish to expend half a month's grocery money to consult with a trademark attorney.
None of this is to say that the Claims Notice does not have merit or that we should not consider possible generation of notices, or at least notice to trademark holders of completed registrations, for some classes of non-exact matches. But it's clear that we also need more and better data because what we don't know probably exceeds what we do.
We should also be mindful that we must maintain a reasonable balance between the scope of this RPM and its impact on domain registrants with no infringing intent, especially if their actual use of the domain would be lawful. Let's take a pragmatic view and recognize that any policymaking exercise is not an academic but an inherently political process and that "politics is the art of compromise". Also, as contracted parties in the business of creating and selling domains make up half the GNSO Council that must approve our final work product (lest all our work be for naught) that would suggest that our work should seek to assure that Claims Notices perform their intended effect of effectively deterring intended cybersquatting while minimizing the deterrence of legitimate domain registrations.

Volker:
Thanks for this perspective. I know that my marketing team struggles with what they call ³stickiness² of a registration process. Specifically, they are always looking for ways to streamline the registration process because the ³stickier² the process (the more steps need to complete registration) leads to a high drop off rate. Your antidotal evidence certainly aligns with the same type of situation my folks at Adobe find difficult in selling our subscriptions.

There can be a significant drop-off due the necessity to present this notice seperate from the purchase process.
Examples:
1) Potential Registrant pre-orders a domain: the notice cannot be presented at the time of purchase
2) Potential Registrant orders the domain through a reseller with its own front-end: the notice cannot be presented by the registrar in the purchase process
Result => Notice has to be presented after the order is received but before it is executed in an alternate process, usually email. While we have not at the time measured the actual rate, we did note a significant drop-off between the numbers of registrants directed to visit a website where the notice could be presented and confirmed and the number of mails sent. The drop-off between the number of customers visiting the site, seeing the notice and then deciding not to pursue the registration was smaller.
Conclusion: The current noticeconfirmation process that is supposed to be in the registration path does not work well in real life for many industry sales channel.

That said, I am growing increasing tired of there always being a negative inference from behaviors from those that are overall hostile to RPMs in general. My point is that as a proponent of RPMs and someone who worked diligently for over 9 months to come up with these RPMs that the abandonment rate does not automatically indicate that the system is not working as intended.

I will remind the group that Abandonment is the point. The TM
Claims notice is designed to inform would-be innocent infringers that there is an issue. A high abandonment rate show that the system is working. I realize those hostile to the TM Claims feel that a high abandonment rate is proof that the Claims notice is overreaching. Not so.

There are many articles on this topic with varying
figures, but they tended
to generally note abandonment rates upwards of 60%.
The takeaway is that the TMCH-Claims rates observed here in the WG, while different/higher, are arguably not materially different than e-commerce statistics generally (certainly not the 20% noted by Phil Corwin as signaling ³a significant difference in the completion of registration.²).
It is important here to recall too that many members of the WG have noted that (for a number of reasons) registries, registrars, and registrants may have been sending queries in large numbers, thus skewing the data upwards.
Best regards,
