Hello Jeff and everyone, As Karen is out on leave this week, I will check in with my other colleagues to see when we will be circulating an updated document to the IRT for your review and a next meeting. I note Karen’s message earlier that the team believes our work remains on track as well. Regarding your second question, I’ll clarify that Curative Rights policy implementation and the work of this IRT is not part of the planned agenda for today’s call between the Board’s IGO Caucus Group and the GNSO Council. Rather, that call is intended to focus on the Board’s plan to close out the few remaining, outstanding policy recommendations concerning second-level IGO protections that do not relate to Curative Rights. I’ve since clarified this for the Council in an email to the Council mailing list, and will be happy to share that update with the IRT as well. Thanks and cheers Mary From: Jeff Neuman via Igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt <igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt@icann.org> Reply-To: Jeff Neuman <jeff@jjnsolutions.com> Date: Monday, July 28, 2025 at 1:17 PM To: "igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt@icann.org" <igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt@icann.org>, Karen Lentz <karen.lentz@icann.org> Cc: Renate De Wulf <renate.dewulf@icann.org> Subject: [Igo-ingo-curative-rights-irt] Re: CANCELLED | IGO-INGO Curative Rights IRT Meeting #7 | 23 July 2025, 13:00-14:00 UTC Thanks for this Karen. A couple of questions: 1. Do we have a new date for the next meeting and an updated document? 1. I noticed that there is a meeting today with the GNSO Council and the Board Caucus on IGOs where one of the items is discussing the status of this group's work. Can you let us know what you will be saying to the Council about our work? It was a little odd to see this on the Council's agenda for a special call. Thanks!

We concur re: the positive progress during the Prague meetings and that has enabled us to work since then on drafting the updated language in the UDRP and URS. We were aiming to have that ready for you all to review in advance of the meeting next week, but did not believe the draft was quite there yet in context of the overall framework of the policy and rules. We are aiming to reschedule the call for early August. The overall timeline of the project has not changed.

So ICANN has not dealt with those. And with respect to the other IGOs, the GAC Advice, though called a moratorium of registrations, is actually a misnomer. A moratorium of registrations pre-supposes that the registration of those acronyms were at one point allowed and are now stopped. This is in reality a moratorium on the implementation of the 2014 GNSO policy. But regardless, as you stated, the main point is that we move forward. ICANN Ord? Sincerely, Jeffrey J.

As concerns this group, based on GAC Advice, the acronyms of IGOs are subject to a registration moratorium pending the successful implementation of our current work.

I have to admit I am a little disappointed at the lack of activity on this since Prague. In Prague it seemed like we were making tremendous progress on all of the issues and dare I say it, it appeared that we would be not only meeting our expected timelines, but we would be exceeding it. However, we are now more than a month removed from Prague and we have not only not met, but we have not seen any new materials. At a time when the entire community is criticizing PDPs and IRTs for taking so long to do its work, I was hoping that this could have been an example where we exceeded expectations and showed that not all PDPs/IRTs would take years. Can you please provide us with an updated schedule and work plan including all future dates for meetings and drafts to be produced? Remember, staff does not have to do all the work itself, but rather it can get the IRTs help. At the end of the day, gTLD Registries have been waiting more than a decade (since 2014) to release the 2-letter acronyms which is now dependent on us completing our work in this IRT (and ICANN Org having a notification system for when IGO acronyms are registered). And, ICANN Org initially promised the community that this would be resolved by the time the next round launched. What is holding us up? Sincerely, Jeffrey J.
