[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] FW: [council] Board reply letter on IGO/RC issues and proposal on IGO acronyms protection from the IGO "small group"

[Paul Tattersfield]

Thank you for posting the letter from Dr. Crocker & the proposal from the
Small Group, Mary.


Are not most of the ambitions of the proposal are already available to IGOs
and INGOs through URS?



(1)     There is no requirement for registration of service marks within
URS (clause 1.2.5)*

(2)     There is a rapid suspension mechanism

(3)     The costs are substantially lower than UDRP or the Courts



(4)     There is an appeals process available without recourse to the
courts



(5)     URS covers 99% (and increasing %age) of gTLDs




*Clause 1.1.1 may need rewording to make the URS procedures document
internally consistent with clause 1.2.5 but this should only be a minor
drafting matter.
