<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Dear BC Members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Here are two competing motions that have
recently been posted to the Council list for inclusion in the next GNSO Council
call:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>ROPOSED MOTION ON REVIEW OF THE UDRP <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Made by: Mary Wong (Non-Commercial SG)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Seconded by: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, on 3
February 2011 the GNSO Council adopted a resolution requesting an Issue Report
on the current state of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) from ICANN
staff, to include consideration of: (1) how the UDRP has addressed the problem
of cybersquatting to date, and any insufficiencies/inequalities associated with
the process; (2) whether the definition of cybersquatting inherent within the existing
UDRP language needs to be reviewed or updated; and (3) suggestions for how a
possible PDP on this issue might be managed; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, a
Preliminary Issue Report was prepared by ICANN staff and released for public
comment from 27 May 2011 to 22 July 2011, for which 24 community comments were
received; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, further
feedback was received in the form of responses by various UDRP providers to a
questionnaire issued by ICANN staff, a Webinar conducted by ICANN staff, and two
UDRP-related sessions held at the 41st ICANN meeting in Singapore; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, a Final
Issue Report taking into account the community comments and public feedback
received was prepared by ICANN staff and published on 3 October 2011; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, the Final
Issue Report illustrates a diversity of views among the ICANN community as to a
number of UDRP-related issues, such as: (1) the advisability of commencing a
PDP at this time rather than when the new rights-protection mechanisms (RPMs)
mandated by the new gTLD program (e.g. the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS)
system) are reviewed; (2) whether the UDRP, although improved over time in
terms of consistency of application and streamlining of processes, is fair; and
(3) other matters such as whether to launch a PDP or form an experts’ panel,
and whether more formal accreditation or contracts between ICANN and UDRP
providers is desirable; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, a PDP
provides the best means for assessing how to respond to this diversity of
views, in particular because a PDP can be designed to address concerns about
the size and complexity of the UDRP review, such as: (1) by identifying
short-term issues that can be worked on during the launch of the new gTLD
program and up to the first review of the URS, and other issues that may
require a longer time frame for work, including any process-related or current
implementation problems; (2) the formation of Sub-Teams within the Working
Group to handle different issues, tasks and timelines; and (3) the division of
the PDP into work phases, including possible issues and time frames
corresponding to the new gTLD program, if appropriate; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, the UDRP
is the oldest GNSO policy that has yet to be reviewed, and the further
postponement of a PDP is unlikely to improve or correct some of the flaws and
problems with the current UDRP that were identified by the ICANN community
during the process of preparation of the Final Issue Report; and <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> WHEREAS, the issue
of community bandwidth and resource allocation may not diminish even after the
launch of the new gTLD program and the new RPMs, and reviewing such a complex
policy as the UDRP together with the URS is likely to exert even more pressure
on community bandwidth and resources; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> Be it RESOLVED,
that the GNSO Council approves the initiation of a PDP on the UDRP and the
establishment of a Working Group on UDRP Review; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> RESOLVED, further,
that the drafting team that will be formed and charged with developing a
charter for the Working Group on UDRP Review take into account the diverse
possibilities for Working Group modalities and work phasing; and <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> RESOLVED, further,
that the charter for the Working Group specifically task the Working Group with
considering: (1) related issues and recommendations raised by the
Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery (PEDNR) PDP Working Group, which were
adopted by the GNSO Council as recommendations to the ICANN Board of Directors
at its meeting on 21 July 2011; and (2) recommendation #7 of the IRTP Part B
Working Group, which the GNSO Council at its meeting on 22 June 2011 received
and agreed to consider when it takes up consideration of the Final Issue Report
on the Current State of the UDRP; and (3) such other similar issues and
recommendations as it considers appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Whereas the Registration Abuse Policies
Working Group submitted a final report the GNSO Council on 29 May 2010 (see <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/rap-wg-final-report-29may10-en.pdf">http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/rap-wg-final-report-29may10-en.pdf</a>),
recommending an issue report on the current state of the UDRP considering both
(a) How the UDRP has addressed the problem of cybersquatting to date, and any
insufficiencies/inequalities associated with the process, and (b) Whether the
definition of cybersquatting inherent within the existing UDRP language needs
to be reviewed or updated, and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, on February 3, 2011, the GNSO
Council requested an Issues Report in accordance with the recommendations of
the Registration Abuse Policies Working Group [LINK], and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, a Preliminary Issue Report was
published on 27 May 2011 [LINK] and series of webinars and workshops were held soliciting
public comment to allow for the ICANN community to provide feedback on the
analysis and recommendations contained therein, and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, a Final Issue Report was published
on 3 October 2011 [LINK] in which ICANN staff recommended the GNSO Council
consider the “perspective of the majority of the ICANN community, and the
advice of the Government Advisory Committee (GAC), and the At-Large Advisory
Committee” and that “a PDP be delayed until after the New gTLD Uniform Rapid
Suspension System (URS) has been in operation for at least eighteen months. . .
[to] allow the policy process to be informed by data regarding the
effectiveness of the URS, which was modeled on the UDRP, to address the problem
of cybersquatting.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>RESOLVED, that the GNSO approved the
initiation of a PDP and the establishment of a Working Group on recommendation
#7 of the IRTP Part B Working Group concerning the requirement to lock a domain
name subject to UDRP proceedings, which the GNSO Council at its meeting on 22
June 2011 received and agreed to consider when it takes up consideration of the
Final Issue Report on the Current State of the UDRP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>RESOLVED further, the GNSO Council requests
a new a new Issue Report on the current state of all rights protection
mechanisms implemented for both existing and new gTLDs, including but not
limited to, the UDRP and URS, should be delivered to the GNSO Council by no
later than eighteen (18) months following the delegation and launch of the
first new gTLD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
