<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Paul,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for following up; that was indeed the staff email I was referring to on the Working Group call yesterday.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you can provide further explanations, staff believes that will be helpful to the group. For our part (and I note again that we are very cognizant of our proper role as staff) we simply do not read Professor Swaine’s memo the same way
that you seem to have. It seems clear to us that Professor Swaine expressly notes that in a case where it is the IGO that initiates proceedings (in this case, under the UDRP or URS), it is possible, even likely, that this will mean it will have waived its
jurisdictional immunity because of the Mutual Jurisdiction clause as currently worded. He does, however, correctly note that whether or not this will always be the case depends on the jurisdiction where the respondent chooses to file its case, as that is a
question for that court to rule on. We note further that jurisdictional immunity is based in customary international law and, although in some cases has been enshrined as formal legal doctrine in certain international treaties, remains in many cases judge-made
law.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also do not understand your statement that there is a “transfer” of immunity rights between the two scenarios you mention. We simply do not see where, when or how that can even happen - they are two separate types of legal proceedings,
and while it is true that in the former scenario the IGO is the defendant and in the latter it is the plaintiff, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, Professor Swaine has clearly noted that where the IGO is the plaintiff/initiator of proceedings it will
likely be deemed to have waived its immunity. More specifically, we do not understand what “transfer” of legal rights will have taken place as there are none, especially as jurisdictional immunity as a legal doctrine does not amount to substantive legal rights
that can be transferred.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We apologize if we appear to be trying to counter arguments brought forth by Working Group members since we are not ourselves participants in the group, but in our role as subject matter advisors we really hope that Paul can provide clarification.

<br>
In today’s chat room you mentioned your reply in April to my very serious concerns about the Swaine Memo. The only email I have on file is the one below. I can deal with each of the points you raise should you so wish, however, each of those points are dependant
on the incorrect assumption Professor Swaine made on pages 8 & 9 of his report.(on pages 83 & 84 of the WG final report) that immunity rights can be transferred between the two scenarios where the immunity question could come before a court.
<br>
<br>
I have detailed below my concerns clearly in colour for the benefit of the working group so anyone can quickly see where and how the professor relied on what I believe to be an incorrect assumption and upon which the whole of his report then incorrectly relies.
<br>
<br>
I have researched this issue and I can not find any jurisdiction, on any matter (not just domain names) in any forum where an IGO would be entitled to jurisdictional immunity after initiating proceedings. I have asked the working group if anyone can refute
my reasoning several times on the email list and I raised it on the call prior to Phillip’s resignation. Each time not a single person has been able to demonstrate I am in fact incorrect and several people have indicated they believe I am right. I have discussed
this matter with people with a broad range of interests including people who have represented IGO interests at ICANN and I can not find a single person who can find any issue with my reasoning.<br>
<br>
Given the whole of the WG’s final report is premised on Professor Swaine’s assumption being correct I would be very grateful if you can show me why any of my reasoning in the proof below is not correct and how Professor Swaine can possibly be right.<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
<br>
<br>
Paul<br>

From that document:</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span lang="EN-GB">
</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“3. Discussion (Bottom of page 8)<br>
<br>
The core question is whether an IGO is “entitled to immunity,” but the baseline assumptions may be disaggregated.
<span style="color:green">The scope of IGO immunity would most clearly be at issue if the Mutual Jurisdiction provision were irrelevant and the IGO had not itself initiated judicial proceedings, since that would risk waiving any immunity to which it may be
entitled, including to counterclaims</span>. <sup>20</sup> <span style="color:blue">
This might be the case, for example, if a domain-name registrant sought a declaratory judgment against an IGO in relation to some actual or potential infringement</span>.
<sup>21</sup> <span style="color:red">That scenario, though not otherwise of concern here, does usefully isolate the question as to whether an IGO has a legitimate expectation that it would be entitled to immunity absent the UDRP</span>. If such immunity is
minimal or uncertain, then any compromises required by the UDRP loom less large; if the IGO would otherwise be entitled to immunity, however, its potential sacrifice seems more substantial.<br>
<br>
As explained in Part A, the answer depends. IGOs generally enjoy immunity under international law, but different jurisdictions apply the law differently, and even within the same jurisdiction different IGOs may be treated differently. Part B then introduces
the complication that any such immunity may be waived through the Mutual Jurisdiction provision, and affording such waiver is not the same thing as violating an IGO’s immunity. Part C then discusses alternative ways to resolve the situation. … “</span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:green">Green </span>Initiating proceedings waives immunity including counterclaims<br>
<span style="color:blue">Blue </span>Scenario (a) below <br>
<span style="color:red">Red</span> Transfers those rights of scenario (a) to scenario (b)<br>
<br>
The rest of the memo is then based on the incorrect assumption that rights can be transferred between the two scenarios.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Proof</b><br>
<br>
Absent UDRP there are two possible ways the immunity question could come before a court:<span style="color:black"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="color:blue">(a) A TM owner seeks to acquire a domain which an IGO has registered<br>
</span><span style="color:red">(b) An IGO seeks to acquire a domain which a domain registrant has registered</span><span style="color:black"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="color:blue">In (a) the IGO would be entitled to raise an immunity defence</span><span style="color:black"><br>
</span><span style="color:red">In (b) the IGO would be required to waive immunity for the court to consider the matter.</span><span style="color:black"><br>
<br>
</span>As the UDRP is an administrative procedure to help take less complex cases out of the judicial system if UDRP is to afford the same protections as any other forum then UDRP needs to take into account both cases.<br>
<br>
<span style="color:blue">(a) A TM owner seeks to acquire a domain which an IGO has registered by bringing a UDRP</span><span style="color:black"><br>
</span><span style="color:red">(b) An IGO seeks to acquire a domain which a domain registrant has registered by bringing a UDRP<br>
<br>
<br>
</span><b>Conclusion<br>
</b><span style="color:red"><br>
</span>The working group has not considered (a) which hides the fact that in (b) an IGO is never entitled to jurisdictional immunity after choosing to initiate proceedings. The incorrect Swaine reasoning introduces irrelevant complexity which confuses rather
than clarifies and should therefore have no place in the working group’s final report.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><br>

may have analyzed a situation where it is not the IGO that commences proceedings but rather is the subject of proceedings against it by a trademark owner. We hope the following extracts from the memo will be useful in clarifying the basis on which Professor
Swaine gave his opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">In his memo, Professor Swaine notes that he
<i>“focuses on the most likely scenario: that in which an IGO, possessing rights in a name, abbreviation, emblem or the like arising under the Paris Convention … has complained and prevailed before an administrative panel in Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution
Policy (“Policy” or “UDRP”) proceedings against a domain-name registrant—resulting in an order of cancellation or transfer to which the losing registrant objects by commencing a judicial action … “</i> (see Page 77 of the Working Group’s Initial Report, at
Annex G).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">He notes that <i>“how matters unfold from that point [following the registrant’s filing suit] will depend on national law”</i> (Page 81, Annex G) as to the question, “<i>whether—in light of an IGO’s assent to Mutual
Jurisdiction—its immunity remains. Here, the more likely answer is that it would not … The grant of Mutual Jurisdiction would likely establish such a waiver, as it would for a state entity otherwise entitled to foreign sovereign immunity. This waiver would
be construed narrowly, but it would likely permit proceeding against an IGO in at least some domestic courts. The overall answer, then, is contingent. If there were no Mutual Jurisdiction clause, an IGO might be entitled to immunity from judicial process;
in the status quo, however, it likely would not. Equitable considerations might influence any judicial analysis”
</i>(Page 78, Annex G).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Concluding that “<i>In short, the Mutual Jurisdiction clause means that participating IGOs will have agreed to the possibility of a judicial process, notwithstanding any immunity to which they otherwise would be
entitled. This will loom largest in cases in which the IGO is the complainant and benefited from an initial panel decision in its favor, such that the decision to resort to judicial proceedings against the IGO—and the risks that creates for adverse results—is
made by the private party”</i> (Page 82, Annex G), Professor Swaine focuses the remainder of his memo on this scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">As part of his analysis, Professor Swaine also proposed a number of alternative policy proposals for the Working Group’s consideration, including possibly amending the Mutual Jurisdiction clause or arbitration. These
were noted and discussed on several Working Group calls in late 2016, prior to the issuance of the Initial Report in January 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<br>
In your reply to George Kirikos you stated:<br>
<br>
“If it is judicial proceedings them [sic] of course an IGO's initiation of process indicates an implicit waiver of judicial immunity.”<br>
<br>
Thank you that is helpful. <br>
<br>
When I asked last year that the working group consider cases where an IGO could be entitled to immunity (i.e. when a TM holder seeks to secure a domain name owned by an IGO) I was told by those leading the working group that this scenario was not within the
working group’s charter.<br>
<br>
Swaine is an analysis of cases where an IGO is entitled to jurisdictional immunity in judicial forums. Given you have just stated:
<br>
<br>
“If it is judicial proceedings them [sic] of course an IGO's initiation of process indicates an implicit waiver of judicial immunity.”<br>
<br>
I fail to see how you can ever reconcile Swaine with ever being relevant to the working group’s final report. I don’t doubt it was expensive and interesting but if you want it to remain in the final report please can you reply showing how it could be in any
way considered relevant?<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
<br>

Paul<o:p></o:p></a></span></p>

is an excellent explanation of the accepted scope of IGO judicial immunity and the varied analytical approaches that national courts take in determining the validity of IGO immunity defenses. I remain proud that we solicited this expert input on the central

<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>

extremely low" (it's also repeated on page 3, i.e. "small number of<br>

has its attendance logs at:<br>
<br>
</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_ITPIPDWG_Attendance-2BLog&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=fHE_Cr9toYeLCsl-trxHT_K7CdrHZ4uAVUnv57xOoj8&s=SM46RS2yu2NqlCCV6jC_TqeffNSm5NO7Hrg2Z_zxdzw&e=" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">https://community.icann.org/display/ITPIPDWG/Attendance+Log[community.icann.org]</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><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>
</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_group-2Dactivities_active_irtp-2Dd&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=fHE_Cr9toYeLCsl-trxHT_K7CdrHZ4uAVUnv57xOoj8&s=j2Zvmixa4aRhzYenT-dnA022yco2l1JnPBILd7c6P2A&e=" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/irtp-d[gnso.icann.org]</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><br>
<br>
Now, let's compare this to the IGO PDP and its attendance records:<br>
<br>
</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_gnsoicrpmpdp_Attendance-2BRecords&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=fHE_Cr9toYeLCsl-trxHT_K7CdrHZ4uAVUnv57xOoj8&s=mwySLJqja9rtF5SFHTy4NbNmZuRg0TzTEP7xPbL3BMk&e=" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Attendance+Records[community.icann.org]</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><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>
</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_RARPMRIAGPWG_WG-2BCharter-3Fpreview-3D3D_5872-3D9944_58730036_Charter-2520for-2520RPM-2520PDP-5Ffinal.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=fHE_Cr9toYeLCsl-trxHT_K7CdrHZ4uAVUnv57xOoj8&s=ps70jf_1KqUAI3uRTbpQJ4U149wbZN0CHdG6lKySm40&e=" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/WG+Charter?preview=3D/5872=<br>
9944/58730036/Charter%20for%20RPM%20PDP_final.pdf[community.icann.org]</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><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>
