<br>
We have been copied on the draft<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>GNSO Council Resolution on the initiation of a policy amendment process on specific Red Cross names</i>, to be considered by the GNSO Council on 20 April.<br>
<br>
We would like to propose that several minor revisions be brought to the draft Resolution, and in particular that the title of the Resolution refer to the protection of the Red Cross<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>and Red Crescent</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>names
and identifiers. Other minor suggestions are included in the attachment to this message.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">We also had a question to you whether the resumed PDP should not be proposed to address the question of the ICRC and Federation acronyms/initials. While this was not discussed during the Working Group discussion
in Copenhagen, the 2013 PDP and the subsequent GNSO Recommendations to the Board included a recommendation that the ICRC and IFRC acronyms<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>be placed under the 90-days Trademark Clearinghouse Claims Notice protection</i>.
The GAC's Durban Communiqué of July 2013 recommended on its part that the acronyms be accorded <i>[t]he same complementary cost neutral mechanisms to be worked out for the protection of acronyms of IGOs</i>. This is hence another area where the GNSO’s 2013
consensus recommendations are not consistent with GAC advice. Is the assumption that this issue will be referred to the ongoing PDP on curative protections for IGO's? If not, should this question not be referenced in the operative paragraphs of the draft GNSO
Council Resolution as an additional issue for review by the resumed PDP. We would appreciate your thoughts on this.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
