sent in, as rapporteur for this process, I have incorporated the amendments and
prepared two final documents for your review and comment. Two documents,
insomuch as I broke the original comments into two separate postings so that
the BC membership can work through the issues accordingly. As Philip
Sheppard noted, the BC must post its comments in line with past
positions. Splitting the documents hopefully enables focused discussion
on the RPM piece without impeding posting the other comments.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:

differentiation’, ‘translation of ASCII to other scripts’ and
‘revised community priority evaluation scoring’, with the BC’s
DAGv3 comments attached for reference. It should be noted that <u>I have
made no material changes</u> in these comments; rather I simply tightened up
the arguments and cleaned up typos, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:

between URS and standard UDRP as originally proposed by the IRT
-- that is, URS was supposed to be for rapid, lower cost blocking of a
domain in slam dunk cases, with UDRP reserved for less clear cut
cases as well as instances where the complainant wished to permanently
acquire the domain. We think it's important to preserve that distinction
and that problems with the use of the UDRP for default cases
should be addressed by comprehensive UDRP reform. <o:p></o:p></span></font></li>

deliberately lied about a material fact in order
to influence the outcome of a URS in its favor it will
suffer a penalty in order to protect the integrity of the overall process. The
penalty for one such deliberate lie is being suspended from using the URS for
one year; the penalty for two such lies is permanently barring it from use
of the process. Now, as a practical matter, it will be the rare case
where the examiner is able to conclude that the complainant deliberately misrepresented
material facts, so this isn't going to happen very often, plus there are no
monetary sanctions - including fines or a requirement that the complainant
pay the registrant's costs of defending the domain - so it isn't as severe
a pernalty as some called for it to be. If the BC is going to
say that the impact test is too low (with which we don't agree) then I think it
has some responsibility to propose an alternate tests that protects the
integrity of the URS against the (hopefully rare) complainant who
deliberately seeks to abuse it.</span></font><font color="#ff0101" face="Calibri"><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#FF0101"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p><font size="3" color="#ff0101" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Attached is a suggested redraft to bridge
the gap. I personally don't agree with some of the arguments I left in
the attached, but I tried to keep the longstanding BC positions while toning
down the anti-TLD language. I also deleted a couple of the arguments that
were objected to in some of the notes I reviewed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*I deleted the GPML section.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*I deleted the clear and convincing
evidence issue with regard to the URS. As a member of the IRT, I can say
that it clearly was our intent for the URS to have a higher burden of proof
than the UDRP -- the legal standard is exactly the same. We wanted
the URS to be for "slam dunk" cases. The URS was to be a less
expensive alternative to the UDRP cognizant of the fact that 70% of UDRPs go
unanswered. Has this issue even been raised before by the BC?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*Based on Sarah's helpful e-mail, I left
alone the complaint about transferring names after a successful URS as that has
been an issue that Zahid, Mike and others in the BC have argued consistently.
I do note, however, that transfer was not in the IRT recommendation and
the STI agreed to add a year to the registration at the request of the
complainant as a compromise. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

</div>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*Again based on Sarah's e-mail, I left the
PDDRP section pretty much alone except for an argument about registries
warehousing names, but not using them, as that argument didn't make much sense
to me. That's exactly the function of a registry to warehouse names until
they are sold by registrars. If a registry "reserves" a name
and it is not in use at all, the mark holder should be thrilled that it can't
be registered by a squatter.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*I also deleted the paragraph about the
Director of Compliance. I don't think it appropriate to comment on those
kinds of personnel matters. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*I didn't touch the arguments related to
community and 13 points (though I personally favor 14 points to avoid gaming --
sorry Ron), as that seems to be longstanding BC position.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">*I didn't do much on the Market
