color:#1F497D'>BC members might disagree with most of your first
sentence. Specifically, the BC appears to have reached consensus that registry
operators and/or registrars should do lookups against the Clearinghouse
database, and provide appropriate notices to all domain registration
applicants. ALAC and other constituencies are of the same view, though
some registrars and registries appear to resist. Those registries and/or
registrars that choose to ignore this lookup and notice capability (for
whatever reason) ought not be relieved from liability for that choice, and might
be considered a bad faith contributor to systemic infringement, if not a direct
infringer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Thank-you,
Zahid, for your exhaustive efforts on the rights protection mechanisms.<br>
<br>
As you requested, here’s one comment on the draft BC position on Post
Delegation Dispute Mechanism (PDDM):<br>
<br>
Twice in your draft you express concern about Registry Operators turning a
“blind eye” to infringements. I’m a fan of clever
phrases such as “turn a blind eye”, but in this case I think the
rhetoric may go too far. <br>
<br>
One of my registry members reminded me in Seoul that registry operations are
highly automated processes. There is no human “eye” looking
at registration Add records as they come in from registrars. Accordingly,
I suggest replacing the two “blind eye” concerns in the BC comments
with this statement:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Registry operations for
adding new names should be a highly-automated function, and the failure of a
registry to take affirmative steps to assess whether a domain name violates
trademark laws should not in itself constitute bad faith or systemic
infringement. However, a registry operator who fails to perform the
specific rights protection mechanisms enumerated in its </span></b><b><span
style='font-size:10.5pt'>Registry Operator’s Agreement should be subject
to PDDM claims, as set forth in the IRT Final Report. </span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><br>
<br>
Again, thanks for working this on our behalf.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Would like to ask members that if there are any comments on the draft BC
position on RPMs that was sent out earlier? If I don’t hear
anything on whether there will be comments and that I should hold sending this
out to the GNSO, I will send it out by tomorrow to both the GNSO and the STI.<br>
