Dear all, 

 

In meeting #155, we discussed whether we should retain Independent Objectors (IOs) in case of an objection period following a Brand String Change Request. 

 

As mentioned in the meeting, we believe that IOs should only be filing objections during the objection window opening on String Confirmation Day. Having a panel of IOs on retainer for an undefined period of time just to look at individual applications for what we believe will be very few cases (if any at all) seems to be excessively costly, also given the very restrictive conditions around Brand String Change Requests. We also note that there does not seem to be any specific requirements in this sense in the policy, and that comments and objections can still be submitted during this time. 

 

Thank you very much,

Elisa
