<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Note the attendance at the meeting (Philip has it).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>TMC --&nbsp; sunrise processes must be standard AND
mandatory IP claims, POST-launch &#8211; unanimous except Palage --&nbsp; scope of
what triggers a hit, proposal is vague as to &#8216;yahoo&#8217;, or &#8216;yahoomail&#8217; or &#8216;yaho0&#8217;
or &#8216;yahhoo&#8217;??&nbsp; We require notice if TM string is replicated anywhere in
the domain name that is applied for (except Palage).&nbsp; TM owners can elect
how widely the notices would be sent, either to exact matches anywhere in the
name, or also algorithmic typos.&nbsp; Domain applicant MUST affirmatively
respond to the notice, either on screen or email.&nbsp; TM owner must get
notice of every registration that occurs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:.75in'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>URS &#8211; 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&#8217;t made any proposal on that yet,
so we cannot comment.&nbsp; Successful complainant must have option to transfer
the name or cancel, if no appeal filed within 90 days from date of URS
decision.&nbsp; Some members also would support an indefinite suspension, recorded
in clearinghouse so that if anyone seeks to register again, they would get a
notice.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>GPML &#8211; VRZN, Nokia, NetChoice &amp; Marilyn think it should
still be on the table, but not a deal-breaker, nobody else supports leaving it
on the table.<o:p></o:p></p>
