<DIV>Thanks, Jeff - sorry for lack of clarity but my reference to the reconsideration request was more of an FYI to the Council in thinking through whether the IGO issue should be raised with the GAC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Actually, I'm a little disturbed by a number of assertions, assumptions and inaccuracies in the reconsideration request. For example, reference is made interchangeably to Olympic "names", "marks" and the "goodwill of the Olympic movement" as all protected by law. Some of these terms are narrower and more specific than others, and while each may be protected by some national laws, we don't at this point know that the broadest term (goodwill of the movement) is protected by how many countries' laws (especially since the international treaty in question protects the Olympic "symbol" only).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, reference is made to the fact that "the GAC and the GNSO" worked out the recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council. As we know, the GAC does not participate in any WG or DT in its own right, nor do individual GAC members do so as such (i.e. they do not represent their respective countries or the GAC as a whole). There's also an implicit assumption that "consensus" and "majority vote" of the Council mean the same thing (i.e. both terms are used in the appeal).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Except for the first point about names versus marks versus the entire Olympic movement, which alarms me as an IP lawyer about the broad extent of trademark protection that seems to be claimed, I don't think the other two points were anything other than inadvertent inaccuracies. I wanted, however, to raise them all with you and will likely do so with the DT as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks and cheers</DIV>
