time to review the full draft report over the holidays, with a view to publication for public comment in January.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">It was agreed last week that we will go ahead with a short call this Thursday, to identify any remaining issues that Working Group members believe need to be discussed or otherwise added
to the draft document. <u>As such, and given that this is a rather lengthy document, we request that if you have suggestions and edits to the draft, instead of redlining it as has been our practice, please send your comments to this list so that staff can
incorporate them in due course</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">You will note from the document that these two sections have also been renumbered and moved around – this is due to our now using a new template for these PDP Working Group reports. Thus,
the former Section 6 (Recommendations) is now Section 2, and appears before the Deliberations section (formerly Section 4, now Section 3) – which is also the order that George had suggested may make more sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Subject: Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Agenda for WG meeting this week and NEW draft Deliberations section of WG Initial Report<br>
<br>
Hi folks,<br>
<br>
My comments/thoughts on the draft section 4 and section 6 are below:<br>
<br>
<br>
SECTION 4 COMMENTS<br>
<br>
<br>
1. page 3 (last paragraph) "…..to prohibit third party use of those identifiers as trademarks…." -- Of course, it's not a total or absolute prohibition, so the language of that paragraph should be altered slightly (i.e. perhaps insert the word "confusing" after
"prohibit" for simplicity).<br>
<br>
2. page 4: bottom; we might want to note that we also had a group conference call with Professor Swaine after his preliminary report<br>
<br>
3. page 5, first paragraph, first sentence: perhaps change the word "opinion" to "research and analysis" (otherwise it suggests that the conclusions are subject to mere whim); or perhaps add "expert" before "opinion" to add more gravitas to the statement<br>
<br>
4. page 6, first line "Issue Report preparatory" -- should that be "Issues" (plural), and I'm not sure about the grammar of "preparatory"<br>
in that sentence…it's awkward. Perhaps change "preparatory" to "prior"??<span style="font-family:PMingLiU"><br>
<br>
</span>5. page 6, 2nd paragraph, middle, "…for [the GNSO…" opening square bracket has no matching closing square bracket…??<span style="font-family:PMingLiU"><br>
<br>
</span>6. page 9: in the table, middle column (or 3rd column), we should note that the Article 6ter registration SUPPLEMENTS existing ability IGOs to have standing (e.g. via common law or registered marks).<br>
<br>
7. page 10: middle column, top row (continuation from prior page) -- the part "but an arbitration option can be created…" -- that's just<span style="font-family:PMingLiU"><br>
</span>*one* of the options (probably the minority view at this point); the other option, probably the majority view, was to vitiate the UDRP/URS decision if immunity was attained during a court appeal). So, perhaps the section in the brackets should be removed,
or altered.<br>
<br>
8. page 10: second column, bottom row, middle column; like my point #6 above, the 6ter registration *SUPPLEMENTS* existing ability to have standing by IGOs.<br>
<br>
9. page 9 & page 10: (column 1): the IGO proposal is listed as referencing only "IGO acronymn" -- I assume that should be "IGO *name* or acronym"??<br>
<br>
10. page 11, 2nd row, middle column: "or have trademarked same" -- that's imprecise? I think we mean "or who have registered or unregistered common law trademarks"<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
SECTION 6 COMMENTS<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A. page 1, 2nd paragraph of "General" section -- the first sentence is a bit misleading, since it simply says that "the answers to these questions are no" -- If we look at what the questions were, that statement is misleading. The first question had a faulty
premise that IGOs and INGOs *don't* already have access to the UDRP and URS. It's clear that as a working group that we've provided evidence that IGOs and INGOs *already* do have access to the UDRP and URS. So, the real PDP was about possible expansion of
that access and/or "adjusting the playing field" in favor of one side or the other.<br>
<br>
B. page 3: some formatting issues in bullet point 3 (e.g. extra 'dot'<br>
before "Furthermore" and after "Charter"<br>
<br>
C. page 3: middle paragraph, last sentence --- "The WGfurther" -- should add a space after "WG" to make it "The WG further"<br>
<br>
D. page 3, bullet point 1 (near bottom): first sentence, perhaps make it plural for "Final Issues Report"?? (i.e. Issue vs Issues??)<br>
<br>
E. page 4, last paragraph of Recommendation #1: it talks about revisiting our work "if concrete proposals emerge* --- well, we know that those concrete proposals were made by the IGOs at a late stage; so, perhaps we need to modify the language of that paragraph
a bit?<br>
(i.e. we received the concrete proposals, and analyzed them, etc., i.e. in Section 4; although, I still believe that the table in Section<br>
4 comparing the recommendations should perhaps be moved to *after* section 6, to make sense chronologically; i.e. we analyzed/contrasted the IGOs Small Group proposal *after* our own recommendations).<br>
<br>
F. page 4, Recommendation 2, last sentence -- really it's for the benefit of panelists, registrants, *and* potential IGO complainants.<br>
<br>
G. page 5, 2nd last paragraph, last sentence "…in the absence of their possessing trademark or common law rights…." I think the word "registered" belongs before "trademark" (i.e. the common law rights are *unregistered* *trademark* rights; i.e. BOTH are trademark
rights, one set registered, the other set are common law).<br>
<br>
H. page 9, further discussion of option 2: for the 3rd bullet point (crossing into the following page), perhaps it can be expanded, to highlight the fact that we know that UDRP decisions have been successfully overturned in the courts on numerous occasions,
even when there were unanimous 3-panelist UDRP decisions. Furthermore, allowing mandatory and binding arbitration without recourse to the court creates the circumstances for a permanent DIVERGENCE of jurisprudence between the arbitration bodies and the national
laws or courts. i.e.<br>
the existence of the appeal mechanism to national courts is of critical importance as a check and balance on the entire UDRP/URS system, because it ensures that the UDRP/URS cannot perpetually expand to give rights that are greater than those that exist in
the national courts (which would then create forum shopping, where complainants would use the UDRP/URS to obtain relief that they could never achieve in the courts). Without these checks and balances, the power of "rogue" panelists/providers and the incentives
for forum shopping grow considerably, undermining the purpose and integrity of the entire system.<br>
<br>
I. page 14, last paragraph of Recommendation #4 (i.e. directly above Recommendation #5); as discussed in our last conference call, the paragraph needs to be softened somewhat, i.e. the "IGOs will have to submit to" line is not accurate, given that we've identified
workarounds for the IGOs regarding assignee/licensee bringing the UDRP/URS, in order to shield the IGO.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
George Kirikos<br>
