Indeed Marilyn.  You are right.  The members at the meeting agreed but the draft position will be posted to the list for input allowing members that were not in the meeting to also have the opportunity to comment.

Zahid, just one clarification. Otherwise fully agree.

We agreed, i think, that the members that we  had to reach an agreement within the members who were in the room, and based on the emails that were being posted to the list.

That's the going in position, right? We all realize that we are relying upon the earlier BC positions, but modified by the evolving situation, right? and realizing that we had to try to reach a 'rough' consensus within the meeting.

Thanks for the query Michael,

The BC meeting yesterday led to member’s developing a position.  I would suggest that it is up to our membership which (minus one member) agreed to proposals that were discussed in the constructive session moderated by Mike R.

Zahid,

Is it really constructive to advocate positions that go above and beyond the initial recommendations contained in the IRT?

Best regards,

Michael

TM Clearinghouse:

1.       Sunrise processes must be standardized and mandatory.
2.       TM notices (misnamed “IP claims”) must be mandatory:
a.       All applications for newTLD domain registrations will be checked against the TMC, regardless whether application is during sunrise period or thereafter
b.      If applied-for domain string anywhere contains text of trademark listed in TMC, then TM notice given to applicant per proposal listed in Staff recommendation, if domain is registered then TM owner is notified
c.       TM owners will have option also to trigger notices in the event that applied-for domain string includes the trademark string altered by typographical errors, as determined by an algorithmic tool.  For example, yaho0.new would trigger a notice if Yahoo! elected to exercise this option.
d.      Domain applicant must affirmatively respond to the TM notice, either on screen or email, and registrar must maintain written records of such responses for every domain name.  TM owner must get notice of every registration that occurs.

URS:
1.       Process as detailed by Staff must be mandatory in all newTLD registries
a.       Substantive standard of UDRP must be exactly replicated in URS
2.       Successful complainant must have option to transfer the name or cancel, if no appeal filed within 90 days from date of URS decision.
a.       Successful complainant must also have option to have domain suspended until end of its current registration term, and then indefinitely flagged
b.      Flag shall be recorded in clearinghouse so that if anyone seeks to register such name(s) again, they would get a notice.
3.       Complainant abuse shall be defined same as Reverse Domain Name Hijacking under UDRP.
4.       Meaningful appeal process required, Staff hasn’t made any proposal on that yet, so we cannot comment.

BC position on TM Clearinghouse and URS, notes for preliminary statement:

Note the attendance at the meeting (Philip has it).

TMC --  sunrise processes must be standard AND mandatory IP claims, POST-launch – unanimous except Palage --  scope of what triggers a hit, proposal is vague as to ‘yahoo’, or ‘yahoomail’ or ‘yaho0’ or ‘yahhoo’??  We require notice if TM string is replicated anywhere in the domain name that is applied for (except Palage).  TM owners can elect how widely the notices would be sent, either to exact matches anywhere in the name, or also algorithmic typos.  Domain applicant MUST affirmatively respond to the notice, either on screen or email.  TM owner must get notice of every registration that occurs.

URS – mandatory in all newTLD registries (unanimous except for ICA, who thinks in effect it will be adopted by everyone anyway); substantive standard of UDRP must be exactly replicated in URS; procedural elements and evidentiary threshold of Staff proposal; sanctions for complainant abuse (abuse defined same as Reverse Domain Name Hijacking under UDRP); meaningful appeal process required, Staff hasn’t made any proposal on that yet, so we cannot comment.  Successful complainant must have option to transfer the name or cancel, if no appeal filed within 90 days from date of URS decision.  Some members also would support an indefinite suspension, recorded in clearinghouse so that if anyone seeks to register again, they would get a notice.

GPML – VRZN, Nokia, NetChoice & Marilyn think it should still be on the table, but not a deal-breaker, nobody else supports leaving it on the table.
