The GAC's Durban Communiqué of July 2013 recommended on its part that the acronyms be accorded <i class="">[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.
