We (staff) will compile these on a page to reside on the Working Group’s wiki space, so that others can add resources and other suggestions they may have on an ongoing basis. While the group may not use all that are suggested, the list may be a useful reference point for other work WG members or ICANN may be undertaking in the future as well.</div><div><br></div><div>As noted on the call earlier today, and on the resources to be consulted and used in conjunction with the questions for which this WG has been chartered by the GNSO Council, staff will prepare and send out a draft chart categorizing all the charter questions into possible groups, with suggested early action items and possible timelines. Our hope is that the chart will not only assist in sorting through and prioritizing the various charter questions, it will also be a good starting point for the Work Plan we have to develop as required by the GNSO’s WG Guidelines.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, and as Petter suggests, if you have particular expertise on or contacts for any one or some of the charter topics he lists below, please let us know. Your experience and networks may be helpful in achieving the WG’s various tasks, especially if the WG decides to utilize sub-groups for part of its work.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and cheers</div><div>Mary</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Mary Wong</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Senior Policy Director</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN)</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Telephone: +1 603 574 4892</font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri">Email: mary.wong@icann.org</font></font></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Petter Rindforth <<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reply-To: </span> "<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>" <<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Monday, August 11, 2014 at 6:32 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> George Kirikos <<a href="mailto:icann@leap.com">icann@leap.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> "<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org">gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org">gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Threshold Issues: Data sources for IGOs & INGOs, Registrants<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote id="MAC_OUTLOOK_ATTRIBUTION_BLOCKQUOTE" style="BORDER-LEFT: #b5c4df 5 solid; PADDING:0 0 0 5; MARGIN:0 0 0 5;"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>

Thank you<br><br><p>11 augusti 2014, George Kirikos <<a href="mailto:icann@leap.com">icann@leap.com</a>> skrev:</p><blockquote type="cite"><div class="oneComWebmail-html oneComWebmail-mail"><div class="oneComWebmail-body"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi folks,<br><br></div>
Just to followup on our conference call, it might be useful if we had access to a database of IGOs and INGOs, which we could then survey in order to obtain primary research data. This could then be used to help answer threshold questions (such as whether the
data indicates that the scale of any domain name abuse is sufficient to warrant changes to existing curative RPMs, etc).<br><br>
One link I had posted in the chat room was for:<br><br><a href="http://www.uia.org/yearbook" target="_blank">http://www.uia.org/yearbook</a><br><br></div>
which is a database of over 66,000 IGOs and INGOs. However, it costs $3,030/yr for an annual subscription (and it's unclear whether that database can be shared amongst multiple members of the working group).<br><br>
WIPO itself maintains a public Article 6ter database at:<br><br><a href="http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/6ter/" target="_blank">http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/6ter/</a><br><br></div>
(simply clicking "Search" without putting any data into the fields yields 3027 records)<br><br></div>
Similarly, doing a search at the USPTO, via:<br><br><a href="http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp</a><br><br></div>
(and then click Trademark Search, Basic Word Mark Search (New User), and then perform a search of "6ter" with a field of "ALL") provides a list of 735 such marks registered in the USA.<br><br></div><div>TMView is another tool for researching marks in many countries, see:<br><br><a href="https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome.html" target="_blank">https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome.html</a></div><br><div>Canada's TM database is searchable via:<br><br></div><div><a href="http://cipo.gc.ca/" target="_blank">http://cipo.gc.ca/</a><br></div><div><br></div>
Of course, it is insufficient to simply survey IGOs and INGOs. We should also be reaching out to domain name registrants, to get their input/data on relevant questions (e.g. have they been accused of cybersquatting, have they received C&Ds, UDRPs, URS proceedings,
lawsuits, whether those accusations had merit, how they used their short domain names, legal expenditures, etc.).
<br><br>
There are tools to extract the contact data from the public WHOIS records on a bulk basis to form a data set, although I don't use them myself (as a domain name registrant, I regularly receive bulk mailings from others, though, who've obtained the contact info
via WHOIS).<br><br></div>
There are tools like UDRPSearch.com to find historical UDRP cases involving IGOs, INGOs, and registrants of short acronyms, etc. PACER exists to find US court cases, although perhaps some of the law firms participating in this working group (or ICANN itself)
have access to superior paid tools, like Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, etc. CanLII.org is a public database of Canadian court cases.<br><br></div><div>I'm guessing most folks here are already familiar with sites like DomainTools.com or ZFBot.com to do research on domain names matching various strings.<br><br></div><div>The OpenCorporates site maintains an index of corporations in numerous jurisdictions, see:<br><br><a href="http://opencorporates.com/" target="_blank">http://opencorporates.com/</a><br></div><div><br></div>
Perhaps others have ideas on additional sources of data that might be helpful to this working group.<br><br></div>
Sincerely,<br><br>
