<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">The discussion within the WG was not blocked by the co-chairs. It was blocked because George filed a section 3.7 Appeal at the point in time when the co-chairs wished to initiate the consensus
call process. The co-chairs later offered to rescind holding an anonymous poll of the full WG but George rejected that approach and continued his appeal. So far as I am aware you supported George in these actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I agree with George, unfortunately I will not be able to attend the call later today as I have another meeting half way across the country which clashes with your call. I will listen to the call afterwards and
submit any comments to the email list, sorry for any inconvenience. Please accept my apologies<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Briefly, I would also like to point out:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The IGO's have accepted the principle of coexistence and as they are initiating the proceedings they have no immunity rights whatsoever in either the initial action or any follow on proceedings. This is an incredibly
simple legal principle and I can not find ANY jurisdiction in the world on ANY matter not just domain names where an IGO would be entitled to do so.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The matter is only confused because the Swaine reasoning looked at the case where others are initiating an action against the IGOs i.e. a trademark owner looking to seize an IGO's asset. Clearly the expert report
is not relevant to the case the working group is considering where the IGO's are initiating proceedings.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The co-chairs will not refute this reasoning but are not prepared to discuss it - this I find very troubling, not just on this single issue level but the fact that working group officers can block its discussion
for months and months on end. I also note with some dismay that only 2 people in the private office sessions said they were not prepared to accept any other option than option 3 - the 2 co-chairs preferred option.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an opportunity in this working group to set an example to the RPM working group using any IGO cases to show how UDRP can be easily improved for all parties in a way that does not tilt the balance in either side's favour but just
improves process and reduces costs for all parties and meets the GAC's advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It really is incredibly easy - Free private mediation and a separate (voluntary for registrants) arbitration track. If you want more registrants to CHOOSE arbitration simply make it cheaper, faster and less risky (name only) than the judicial
route. This could be sorted in a handful of meetings and no interest group has lost anything!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
With regards to the Summary Report which is to be discussed tomorrow,<br>
there are several parts of it that I disagree with, which I'll discuss<br>
orally tomorrow during our call. However, some parts deserve a written<br>
response, given that they contain supporting links (and the WebEx<br>
interface really sucks, compared to Adobe Connect) so it's best to<br>
post them in advance of the call.<br>
<br>
1. On page 2, it's asserted that "the number of active participants is<br>
extremely low" (it's also repeated on page 3, i.e. "small number of<br>
participants' views"). However, that's not consistent with the facts.<br>
For example, the IRTP-D PDP, the most recently completed GNSO PDP<br>
according to:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive</a><br>
<br>
has its attendance logs at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/ITPIPDWG/Attendance+Log" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/ITPIPDWG/Attendance+Log</a><br>
<br>
If one adds up the "total attended" column, and divide it by the total<br>
number of meetings, one obtains the average attendance per meeting:<br>
<br>
Sum of total attended column = 553<br>
Total meetings = 56<br>
Average = 9.88 per meeting<br>
<br>
It is of note that both the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board adopted<br>
their recommendations:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-d" target="_blank">https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-d</a><br>
<br>
Now, let's compare this to the IGO PDP and its attendance records:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Attendance+Records" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Attendance+Records</a><br>
<br>
Sum of total attended column = 711<br>
Total meetings = 71<br>
Average = 10.01 per meeting<br>
<br>
So, there has actually been HIGHER average attendance (10.01 vs 9.88<br>
per meeting) in this IGO PDP, compared to the IRTP-D whose work was<br>
successfully completed.<br>
<br>
2. On page 3, it's claimed that adoption of Option 4 "will require a<br>
Charter amendment" for that other PDP." I'm not convinced that that's<br>
a requirement. The RPM PDP charter is at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/WG+Charter?preview=3D/5872=9944/58730036/Charter%20for%20RPM%20PDP_final.pdf" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/WG+Charter?preview=3D/5872=<br>
9944/58730036/Charter%20for%20RPM%20PDP_final.pdf</a><br>
<br>
and states on page 3 of the charter that:<br>
<br>
"(b) Coordination with Other Parallel Efforts<br>
In the course of its work, the Working Group should monitor the<br>
progress of and, where appropriate, coordinate with, other ICANN<br>
groups that are working on topics that may overlap with or<br>
***otherwise provide useful input to this PDP.***<br>
....<br>
In addition, the RPM PDP Working Group should also take into<br>
consideration the work/outcome of the TMCH Independent Review, the CCT<br>
Review, and ***any other relevant GNSO policy development***"<br>
<br>
(emphasis added)<br>
<br>
So, I think this situation was already covered by the RPM PDP's<br>
current charter, and doesn't need an amendment.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned earlier, there are other parts of the Summary Report I<br>
have concerns about, but I'll save them for tomorrow's call, as they<br>
don't require any links/quotes.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
