<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>During yesterdays discussions it was
determined that a Review Team should be developed to review the issues and
positions of members within the GNSO with regard to the ICANN Board letter to
the GNSO in order to formulate the appropriate response to that letter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Please see the suggested motion below. We
would propose to vote on this motion on Wednesday’s GNSO Council meeting.
Whilst we understand that this does not allow for the usual seven days we would
ask that, on this occasion, because of the tight timelines, that all Stakeholder
Groups act quickly to discuss this motion (potentially utilising time during
Stakeholder Group day on Tuesday).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Glen – could you please forward this to
each Stakeholder Group chair in order to promote this motion as efficiently as
possible? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>WHEREAS, the ICANN Board has requested that the GNSO
evaluate certain ICANN staff implementation proposals for the protection of
trademarks in new gTLDs based in part on the recommendations from the IRT,
public comments, and additional analysis undertaken by ICANN Staff, as
described in the letter dated 12 October 2009 <<<span lang=EN-AU
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/beckstrom-to-gnso-council-12oct09-en.pdf">Letter
from Rod Beckstrom & Peter Dengate Thrush to GNSO Council</a>>>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>WHEREAS, the ICANN Board letter
requests the GNSO’s view by December 14, 2009 on whether certain rights
protection mechanisms for second level strings recommended by ICANN Staff based
on public input are consistent with the GNSO’s proposed policy on the
introduction of new gTLDs, and are the appropriate and effective options for
achieving the GNSO’s stated principles and objectives;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHEREAS, the GNSO has reviewed the ICANN Board letter and
desires to approve the procedures for conducting such evaluation;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the GNSO adopts the
following process to conduct the evaluation requested by the Board:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.5in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span

</span></span><![endif]>A GNSO Review Team will be comprised of representatives
designated as follows: the Registrar and Registry Stakeholder Groups with
two (2) representatives each, the Commercial Stakeholder Groups and the
Non-Commercial Stakeholder Groups with four (4) representatives each, and
At-Large with two (2) representatives and one representative from the
Nominating Committee Appointees(1);<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Each of the Stakeholder Groups will solicit from their
members their initial position statements on the questions and issues raised by
the ICANN Board letter and the ICANN Staff proposed models for the
implementation of the Trademark Clearinghouse and Uniform Rapid Suspension
model, and will deliver their initial position statements on November 4, and
with final position statements to be delivered by November 6, 2009;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.5in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Such position statements will be summarized by ICANN
Staff and distributed to the GNSO Review Team to evaluate whether a consensus
can be reached on the ICANN Staff implementation models or other proposals for
the protection of trademarks in the New gTLD Program; and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The GNSO Review Team will conduct its analysis, identify
those areas where consensus has already been reached, an seek to develop
consensus on those issues for which consensus could not be determined. The GNSO
Review Team will provide a final report to the GNSO on or before the GNSO
council’s meeting in late November, 2009.<span lang=EN-AU><o:p></o:p></span></p>
