of Red Cross National Societies</u> - The Red Cross has, indeed, notified
ICANN that there are now 190 National Societies; in her presentation to
the GNSO Council in April 2016, this was also mentioned by Ms. Charlotte
Lindsey Curtet (noting that the 190<sup>th</sup> was approved and admitted

The GAC advice specifically mentioning the Red Cross National Societies
(March 2014 in the Singapore Communique; June 2014 in the London Communique;
and October 2014 in the Los Angeles Communique) and the ICANN Board resolution
granting interim protection to Red Cross National Society names (again,
preceding the admission of the 190<sup>th</sup> National Society into the
movement) expressly provide for the then-189 National Societies. Similarly,
the GNSO’s PDP recommendations on this point – dating from November 2013
and based on GAC advice up to that date – also mention 189 Red Cross National
Societies. <i>It may therefore be helpful if the National Society names
that the facilitated discussions will focus on can be clarified.</i> </font>

of National Societies referenced in the GAC's past communiqués (Singapore,

190th National Society as a component of the Movement (effective 18 November
2015). Should hence be added to the list the names "Tuvalu Red Cross"
and "Tuvalu Red Cross Society". </i></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=#0000a1 face="Arial"><i>For clarity, It should be
noted that the recognition of new National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
is not a very common occurrence and follows a formal process defined in
the Movement's regulatory framework. There can only one National Red Cross

the 1949 Geneva Conventions are enabled to set up a National Society. Only
very few States party to the 1949 Geneva Conventions (6 out of 196 to date)

“in English, as well as in their respective national languages”. <i>It

MKKK. The GNSO PDP recommendations were for 90-days Claims Notification

Objet : DNS labels associated with the Red Cross and Red Crescent<br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Dear Cyrus, dear Mary,</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
(1) I hope this message finds you well.</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Further to our past exchanges and as I am hoping we may be able to catch
up during ICANN's Marrakesh meeting in the next days,<br>
I am sending you our responses to Cyrus' last letter and to his queries
relating to the list of DNS labels associated with the Red Cross and Red
Crescent designations and names, and thus, as these are currently included
and reflected under Specification 5 to the Model Registry Agreement. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">(2) Firstly, I would like to reiterate here
our previous recommendation that, for greater clarity, </font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">the
titles of the two tables/lists of Red Cross and Red Crescent designations
and names included under Specification 5 be revised as follows:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">(List 1)<b> International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement - Names of the distinctive emblems protected under
international humanitarian law and of related designations</b><br>
(in substitution to the current title: International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement - National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Names)<b><br>
</b><br>
(List 2)<b> International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – Names
and identifiers of Red Cross and Red Crescent organisations</b><br>
(in substitution to the current title: International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement - International Committee of the Red Cross and International
Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
As the titles currently stand, they do not properly reflect or explicate
the lists of strings listed thereunder.</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
(3) Second, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that, since
the list of DNS labels was prepared, a new National Society has been recognized
within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and that
its denomination requires to be added to the list of names and identifiers
of Red Cross and Red Crescent organisations, namely the Tuvalu Red Cross
Society (which was recognized as a component of the Movement in November
2015).</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
Should hence be added to the list protected names and DNA labels the names:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">- "Tuvalu Red Cross"<br>
- "Tuvalu Red Cross Society" </font>

names of RCRC National Societies are eligible for protection in English
as directed by the NGPC’s resolution, which instructed staff to “provide
temporary protections for the names of the International Committee of the
Red Cross and International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, and the 189 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, as
identified in the GAC Register of Advice as 2014-03-27-RCRC while the GAC,
GNSO, Board, and ICANN community continue to actively work on resolving
the differences in the advice from the GAC and the GNSO policy recommendations
on the scope of protections for the RCRC names.” The GAC advice referenced
in the NGPC’s resolution calls for protections of “the 189 National Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies, in English and the official languages
of their respective states of origin.” We will direct registry operators
to reserve these labels.</font>
<td width=307 style="border-style:ridge ridge ridge ridge;border-color:#000000;border-width:1px 1px 1px 1px;padding:1px 1px;"><font size=3 face="Arial">As
explained in our message of 21 November 2015, two or more names were submitted
for protection in instances where a National Red Cross or Red Crescent
Society makes wide usage of a usual name or names in addition to its official
name (we refer to the official name as that foreseen, in principle, in
a National Red Cross or Red Crescent Society’s national law or decree
of recognition or in its statutory base instruments). </font><font size=3><br>

Objet : Lists of Red Cross and Red Crescent names included in Specification
5 - some recommendations for revision<br>
<br>
Dear Mary,<br>
<br>
We hope this message finds you well.<br>
<br>
We have taken due note of the inclusion of the list of Red Cross and Red
Crescent names under Specification 5 to the Model Registry Agreement as
it is now available online and would like to thank you and your colleagues
for your precious assistance.<br>
<br>
After a careful review of the list placed online, we would like to draw
your attention however to several omissions and are attaching below a revised
listing in which<br>
<br>
- different National Red Cross or Red Crescent Society names have been
added or corrected (the name of the International Federation of Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies was also missing in several UN languages); <br>
- the names of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have been
systematically inserted in English. This is in accordance with the NGPC's
Resolution adopted in Los Angeles on 12 October 2014 to provide temporary
protections for the Red Cross/Red Crescent names identified in the GAC's
Singapore Communiqué </font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial"> (i.e<i>.
to permanently protect from unauthorized used the terms associated with
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement [and that] the protections
should [...] include "the 189 National Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, in English and the official languages of their respective states
of origin," and the "full names of the International Committee
of the Red Cross and International Federation of the Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies in the six (6) United Nations Languages").</i></font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial"><br>
For the sake of clarity, we also propose to change the titles of the two
