by Greg Shatan Dec. 8, 2016

Dec. 8, 2016

The US Dept of Commerce is holding a meeting on Copyright in the Digital Marketplace at the US Patent and Trademark Office. Strange but true, and it's happening today, Friday, April 9. Commerce had a public comment period and one earlier meeting <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/7671>, which was held in April 2015. Remote participation details below. Greg joly posted: "On Friday December 9 2016 the US Department of Commerce’s Internet Policy Task Force will hold a meeting - Developing the Digital Marketplace for Copyrighted Works - at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.

The meeting is convened to facilitate constructive, cross-industry dialogue among stakeholders about ways to promote a more robust and collaborative digital marketplace for copyrighted works. The meeting will focus on initiatives in this space that relate to standards development, interoperability across digital registries, and cross-industry collaboration, to understand the current state of affairs, identify challenges, and discuss paths forward. It will also be an opportunity to explore potential approaches to the future adoption and integration into the online marketplace of relevant emerging technologies, such as blockchain technology and open-source platforms. The goal is to provide a platform for discussion, and to determine in what ways government can be of assistance. One outcome could be to establish working groups to tackle specific issues through a multi-stakeholder process.

Lori Schulman Acceptance of Nomination for IPC Treasurer 2016-2017
by Lori Schulman Sept. 21, 2016

Sept. 21, 2016

Dear IPC Secretary and Colleagues, I am pleased to accept the nomination for the Office of Treasurer. I am currently Treasurer of the IPC. I also represent the IPC on the GNSO Review Working Group In addition to the GNSO Working Group, I am a member of the INGO-IGO Curative Rights WG, the INGO-IGO Identifiers Protection IRT and the RPM Working Group. I am also Rapporteur for the Work Stream 2 - Guidelines for Good Faith Conduct for Board Removal sub team. Along with being steeped in ICANN policy, I also follow UN sponsored Internet governance initiatives including the WSIS and the IGF. I was among the first class of nominees representing the private sector as a high level facilitator for the WSIS in Geneva last May. During this year as IPC Treasurer, I was a key member of the leadership team to establish electronic invoicing and record keeping. I am also in the process of establishing clear, consistent and accessible electronic records for all IPC revenue and expenditures so that the function of the Treasurer can continue with minimal disruption. I coordinated the drafting team for the IPC Comments on the ICANN budget and identified the critical issue of ICANN's severely underfunded reserves. I would like to establish a permanent IPC budget committee to follow ICANN's budget process throughout the year and to continue to develop good budgeting and bookkeeping procedures for the IPC. I think this is critical as we head into Work Stream 2 with a continued emphasis on stakeholder accountability as well as board and staff accountability. In my "day job", I serve as Senior Director of Internet Policy for INTA where I advise on Internet policy matters relating to ICANN and Internet governance in general. I also serve as staff liaison to the INTA Internet and Data Protection Committees. I coordinate INTA's comments and participation in ICANN meetings. Prior to joining INTA as a staff member, I was an active volunteer for 18 years. My INTA volunteer activities included serving as a member of the Board of Directors, Chair of the Audit Committee, Chair of the Nonprofit Outreach and Networking Project Team and on a variety of committees and project teams. I have a broad range of experience in trademark, Internet and general corporate and nonprofit practice. I have managed the trademark and domain portfolios of Fortune 100 companies and major nonprofit organizations and am a seasoned nonprofit executive. I started my career as an Attorney/Advisor for the U.S. Trademark Office and more recently, until joining INTA, served as General Counsel to a large, nonprofit organization. I am a graduate of Tufts University and George Mason University School of Law now known as the Antonin Scalia Law School. I consider myself and all IPC members as ambassadors for an often misunderstood area of consumer protection within the domain name system. I am happy to serve as an IPC officer for another year.
