Thanks for the clarification.

I may get back with further questions.

Hello Phil and all,

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify the various "live" issues are surrounding protections for IGOs (international governmental organizations) and INGOs (international non-governmental organizations). The short answer to Phil’s question is, thankfully, no – the Working Group that the proposed GNSO Council resolution makes reference to is not this WG but, rather, the original PDP WG that between October 2012 and November 2013 produced consensus recommendations on a number of possible top and second level protections for IGOs and INGOs.

One noteworthy point for this new WG that you’ve volunteered for is that (as some of you know) the basis for our work actually stems from one of the consensus recommendations of that original PDP WG. This is the question of dispute resolution, at the second level, for IGOs and INGOs – viz.  should the existing UDRP and/or URS be amended to more fully accommodate the particular circumstances and needs of these types of organizations, or should a separate, specific procedure be developed for their use (if at all)? The original PDP WG had reached consensus that this question should be explored further, first through an Issue Report and then, if voted for by the GNSO Council, through a separate PDP. Our WG is a direct result therefore of the GNSO Council’s accepting that original recommendation, calling for an Issue Report (published in March 2014) and then voting (in June 2014) to initiate this PDP and create this current WG.

Returning to Phil’s question, basically the GNSO Council’s discussion this Thursday will not involve the policy question that has been posed to this WG. The Council’s discussion will focus on other issues stemming from the original PDP recommendations instead. As such, if the Council decides to reconvene the original PDP WG (as called for in the draft resolution), there may be a slight impact on our WG in terms of timing of our initial meetings but not necessarily in terms of substance.

I hope this helps!

Cheers
Mary

Mary:

I will provide my SOI shortly.

However, in just reviewing the draft resolution to be voted upon by the GNSO Council this week https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+24+July+2014 , I note this portion:

3.The GNSO Council requests that the IGO-INGO PDP WG provide the Council with its recommendation in relation to the proposed amendment/modification within forty-five (45) days of the reconvening of the WG;
4. The GNSO Council requests that, within seven (7) calendar days of this resolution, ICANN staff publish the proposed amendment/modification for public comment for a period of not less than thirty (30) days; and

Is my reading correct that the lifespan of this WG, as proposed in the draft resolution, is to be a scant 6.5 weeks, and that ICANN staff would propose amendments of the policy for IGOs/INGOs next week, before the WG has done any substantive work? There is no possible way the WG could consider all of the complex issues (pointed out in the staff report on this matter) in a month-and-a-half, and what is the point of it if staff are to draft amendments/modifications before the WG has proposed anything?

Very best,
Philip

Dear George,

Thank you so much for starting the ball rolling, and a warm welcome to you and everyone who has signed up so far to this Working Group!

ICANN staff will be working with Petter Rindforth – GNSO Councilor who has agreed to serve as the GNSO Council liaison to this Working Group and who will be the interim chair until the group selects its permanent chair(s) – to set up an initial meeting for the group soon. The GNSO Council is meeting later this week to discuss a request from the ICANN Board’s New gTLD Program Committee in respect of the outstanding (i.e. not yet adopted by the Board) recommendations of the original PDP Working Group for overall top and second level protections for international organizations. We will consult with Petter as to appropriate timing for the first meeting of this group following the GNSO Council discussion, and revert to you all soon.

In the meantime, do remember to fill and send in your SOIs and please feel free to introduce yourselves via email to this list as George has kindly done.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

It has been nearly a week since this mailing list for the PDP on IGO/INGO Access to Curative RPMs has been created, and no one has posted. So, I thought I'd get the ball rolling with a "roll call."
If you're a member of this mailing list, you'd have received instructions regarding creating a Statement of Interest (SOI) page. Once you've done that, feel free to reply to this email thread, with a link to your SOI, and that can serve as a "roll call" and introduction to everyone else that's participating.
My own SOI is at:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/George+Kirikos+SOI
Sincerely,

George Kirikos
