Dear All,

The sixth meeting of the RPM IRT will be held on Wednesday, 31 January 2024 at 17:00-18:00 UTC. 

As indicated in the agenda, during the call we will review the public comments received during the Public Comment proceeding on the Proposed Updates to Existing Rights Protection Mechanisms Documentation, which are published in the shared drive:

• URS Procedure - post Public Comment version
• URS Rules - post Public Comment version
• TM-PDDRP Rules - post Public Comment version
• RPM Requirements - post Public Comment version

The new updates to be reviewed by the IRT for the documents listed above are indicated via new comments added that begin with “PUBLIC COMMENT + the organization name” as well as “(1/24) IPT COMMENT”. Note: The URS High Level Requirements for Registries and Registrars was not updated following the public comment period as community input was not received. The previous version of the RPM Procedural documents that were posted for Public Comment are available here: https://community.icann.org/display/RPMIRT/Implementation+Documents

In addition, we would once again like to solicit feedback on the proposed implementation of the recommendations in Group 2 (URS Recommendations 9, 10, 13 and TMCH Recommendation 3), which concern developing educational materials to assist users of the RPMs. Staff has drafted a document, which we also plan to discuss at the RPM IRT meeting (time permitting): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rcndtSMXxn8W-JslBELfbT3ByJ-MxW5yqZ89z-eRroU [docs.google.com]

You are kindly requested to review the materials above in advance of Wednesday’s call. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Antonietta, Karen, Elisa
