I think we face a dilemma here because your revisions not only gut the letter that was written by us, but also in many respects represents a complete reversal of the positions taken by most of the members of council on the previous council calls. We can of course make some updates based on the new paper ICANN staff just released, but remember that that was not out when I initially sent the letter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So, we now have two versions of the letter which I do not believe cannot be reconciled.

If, however, there is other support for this version, then we have an issue to work through.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><br>With respect to the comments raised in the e-mail below:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>We disagree with the notion that “the impact of the instant PDP is to challenge, or at least question, not only the GAC’s proposed criteria for protection,” or “the GAC’s determination to advance protection for the specific two organizations that meet that criteria.” This was carefully considered by the Council when it chose to implement the PDP and rejected by those voting in favor of the PDP.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>I don’t believe we said that the sole remit of the PDP was to look at exceptions, but rather, that was listed as an example.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>I have no objection of including a footnote that the IPC did not support the PDP, but to change the entire letter simply because one constituency didn’t agree to not seem to be the right approach.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>The policy framework put out by ICANN staff is still under discussion and should not be used for any other purpose until that document has been thoroughly vetted. We appreciate the fact that the IPC believes that the definition of policy is overbroad, but we have taken this definition from what has been used in the past by ICANN in actual situations to look at actual issues to determine whether it is in scope for the policy process. It is the only community accepted definition that there is.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>On the legal issue of intermediary liability, I could cite a number of legal cases in the US, including the Lockheed Martin case, Brookfield, etc. but we wanted to keep the letter short and to the point.

The registries are in favor of sending the letter as it was drafted (with the tweaks from Thomas on the Appendix). The IPC comments would drastically change the letter in a way that defers to the GAC on everything policy-related, which we believe represents a contravention of the ICANN Bylaws (where the GNSO is charged with policy making for gTLDs) and a potential break down of the multi-stakeholder process. Don’t get me wrong, the governments are vital for the multi-stakeholder process to work and we believe their opinions/advice should be weighed heavily. But they cannot be the “be-all-end-all” of policy with respect to gTLDs. This is not only an issue with respect to the IOC/RC and IGOs, but also Whois, law enforcement activities, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We need to find a way to all work together.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jeffrey J.

In other words, whether intentional or unintentional, the impact of the instant PDP is to challenge, or at least question, not only the GAC’s proposed criteria for protection, but also the GAC’s determination to advance protection for the specific two organizations that meet that criteria.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>Please bear in mind that the GAC was careful to propose protections for Red Cross designations, Olympic words and a finite list of IGO acronyms <b><i><u>for new gTLDs only</u></i></b>. I cannot recall anyone ever recommending or requesting such protection in all existing gTLDs as well. Thus, the Council’s response to the GAC needs to fully explain any underlying rationale for the unilateral decision to broaden the scope of the instant PDP well beyond GAC advice to include existing gTLDs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>The Council’s current draft response to the GAC seems to suggest that the GNSO’s primary remit of policy development relating to the IOC/Red Cross is “to determine what, if any, exceptions (i.e. for pre-existing, non-commercial, and/or geographical use) should apply in the domain name context—particularly at the second level and in both new and existing TLDs.” If this is ultimately our position as a Council, then I believe it is best to gently back away from the current PDP, at least with respect to the Red Cross designations and Olympic words, in favor of something much more expeditious and narrow.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>o<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>As you may recall, the original IPC position on this issue is that IOC/Red Cross protection should not be subject to a PDP.
