The GNSO Council has tasked a group with the policy work on this. As managers of that work, we should await guidance from the group. The deadline set by the Board leaves plenty of time for the group to come up with a set of recommendations. I would just hope that whatever those are, the Board decides to follow them this time.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br><div>

The Committee passed a resolution yesterday requesting that the GNSO consider a proposed solution for the first round to protect at the second level the names of Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC, consistent with the GAC advice to the Board.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">We have been apprised of, and appreciate, the significant work currently underway by the GNSO’s IOC/RC Drafting Team, and the potential PDP under consideration. We crafted the resolution in a way that recognises that GNSO work is ongoing. The resolution and the rationale will be posted next Monday.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">The Committee adopted this resolution now, rather than wait until Toronto, to provide sufficient time for the GNSO to develop its views on this request taking into account the timeline for the first round. It is important that this issue is resolved early next year so that additional protections, if they are adopted, are in place for the first round. As a result, the Committee is seeking the GNSO’s response by January 31, 2013.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">We look forward to receiving the GNSO's response and are available to discuss this issue in further detail in Toronto. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Sincerely,</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Cherine Chalaby</div></div></div> </blockquote></div><br></div>
