Even though that issue is on a separate track at ICANN, this paper seems to be the place to remind them of the substantive remedies the IPC/BC working group proposed as a key priority, such as a real loser pays model and a permanent suspension remedy. I would urge at least a few sentences on the importance of making the URS a meaningful (and not just low cost) remedy. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Sarah<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> owner-bc-gnso@icann.org [mailto:owner-bc-gnso@icann.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Steve DelBianco<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 13, 2013 9:29 PM<br><b>To:</b> bc - GNSO list<br><b>Subject:</b> [bc-gnso] Updated draft for approval on 14-Jan: BC comment on Strawman Solution<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The attached update is for discussion and final approval during our 14-Jan member call. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>I've updated the original draft per suggestions from Ron Andruff, John Berard, Elisa Cooper, and Sara Deutsch.
