discussion with several people, in anticipation of possible action in our
Council meeting tomorrow, I made some changes to the previously distributed and
posted draft motion regarding the Alternative Proposal recommended by the
Special Trademark Issues Review Team. To make it easy to see the changes
I made, I attached a redline version. I also copied the amended motion
below.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

that we still need someone to make this motion or another one and then
someone to second it. Because the motion has not been formally made,
there does not appear to be a need to ask whether my proposed amendments are
friendly. Clearly, anyone who makes a motion may rewrite it however they
like. The purpose of providing a draft motion was to facilitate the
process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span lang=EN>Whereas, on 12 October 2009, the ICANN Board sent a letter<br>
(<a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/correspondence/beckstrom-to-gnso-council-12oct09-en.pdf"

) to the GNSO requesting its review of the policy implications of certain
trademark protection mechanisms proposed for the New gTLD Program;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>Whereas, in response to the Board’s letter, on 28 October 2009
the GNSO created the Special Trademarks Issues (STI) review team to analyze the
specific rights protection mechanisms that have been proposed for inclusion
into the Draft Applicant Guidebook;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>Whereas, on 11 December 2009, the STI Review Team delivered
its Report (link: <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/" target="_blank"
title="(external link)">http://gnso.icann.org/issues/</a>) to the GNSO Council
describing an alternative proposal to address trademark concerns in the New
gTLD Program that was supported by a consensus of its members;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>Whereas, the GNSO has reviewed the STI Report, and the
minority reports included therein, and desires to approve the alternative
proposal recommended by the STI review team;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>RESOLVED, that the GNSO appreciates the hard work and
tremendous effort shown by each member of the STI review team in developing the
STI alternative proposal on an expedited basis;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>RESOLVED, that the GNSO hereby approves the overall package
of recommendations contained in the STI Report, and resolves that the STI
proposal to create a Trademark Clearinghouse and a Uniform Rapid Suspension
procedure as described in the STI Report is a more effective and implementable
solution than the Staff proposal described in the Draft Applicant Guidebook
Version 3 and its accompanying memoranda;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN>RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to
forward the recommendations to the Board in response to its 12 October 2009
letter <br>

and acknowledges that the STI report will be posted as soon as possible
for a forty-five (45) day public comment period to allow the ICANN community to
comment on the STI recommendations prior to finalization of the model to be
included in the Draft Applicant Guidebook.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
