class=899514321-25102009>Merely requiring a registry to offer a sunrise period
is actually worse than the status quo given that trademark
owners' defensive registration costs will skyrocket in direct proportion to
the number of new TLDs introduced. The URS was one way to avoid
such costs. But the URS as proposed by the IRT was only a
partial solution unless trademark owners also have the right to request
back the transfer of valuable domain names into their
portfolio. For such valuable domain names, trademark
owners will face increased litigation costs to win back the names, or
be placed in a perpetual monitoring situation, also increasing costs. But,
as Mike says, if the URS is a so-called "best practice," it will be mere
window dressing and trademark owners will be left without any practical
remedy.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Also,
I’ve realized just now that the IRT itself did NOT recommend that all domain
registrations be checked against the Clearinghouse database, so long as the
registry enacts a sunrise perios, and so the URS is enacted and mandatory.
Thus Staff has not watered down that aspect of the proposal, except that they
have proposed that the URS be denominated a ‘best practice’ rather than a
mandatory requirement. I strongly believe that both elements must be
mandatory, and urge that as the BC position. Obviously, allowing
registries to offer only a sunrise period, and no other RPMs for trademark
owners, is no improvement whatsoever over the previous rollouts of
TLDs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Of
course it will be very difficult to get consensus to something even more
stringent than recommended by the IRT, but I think we need to try. A
fallback option is to require registries to do Clearinghouse lookups, and
provide URS, in order to get the new ‘high security zone’ designation. But
my gut feel on that initiative is that it is worthless, few registrants will
care, thus few contract parties will care.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Zahid. Just want to note my strong opinion that, if the Clearinghouse must
be checked against every domain registrations, with conflicts resulting in
notice to the applicant, and the URS is mandatory for all new TLD registries,
then I believe there will be sufficient protections such that TM owners will not
be forced to defensively register their marks. Interested to hear if
anyone has a different view, and their reasoning, as I expect the BC will
develop a position statement that includes these key points.</SPAN><SPAN

for this analysis. It is always disturbing when months of community time

again to the difficulty of trying to do what is essentially policy development
outside of the normal policy development channels but that is a debate for
