<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear Thomas, dear all, </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you for Berry’s invitation and
for Thomas’ helpful explanatory note.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Herewith a few suggestions in preparation
for today’s discussion:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I. <u>Draft
principles and criteria</u>:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In line with the last ConfCall's conclusions
and mindful of Thomas’ message, we would propose the following principles/criteria/formula
for the definition of names and identifiers of Red Cross and Red Crescent
organizations to be reserved:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><i>With regard to the two international
organizations within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement</i>:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- The
full match names of the International Committee of the Red Cross and of
the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies –
in the 6 UN languages.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(As far as feasible to accommodate DNS
labels)</font>
<br>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><i>With regard to National Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies: </i></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">1. Both the <i>official</i> and <i>usual</i>
names of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies that are recognized
as components of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
(e.g. “American National Red Cross” – according to its National Charter
- and “American Red Cross”; “Croix-Rouge du Tchad“ and “Croix-Rouge
tchadienne”).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"><i>NB: There are 190 National Red Cross and
Red Crescent Societies recognized within the Movement and admitted as members
of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
to date – there is one additional National Society currently pending recognition
and admission and which application for recognition is under examination.
This would bring the total of National Societies to 191.</i></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">2. The official and usual names of National
Societies in the national language(s) and script(s) of their national State
(e.g. Croix-Rouge française), as well as in English for National Societies
in countries using a non-Latin script (“Russian Red Cross” / </font><tt><font size=2>Российский
Красный Крест</font></tt><font size=2 face="Arial">).</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial"><i>NB: This is, we understand, Thomas' new
proposal. Please note that this represents a departure from the GAC’s
consistent past advice that all National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’
names be protected/reserved in English (without exception and in addition
to the individual National Society’s name in the latter’s national language[s]
and script[s]). I believe that the initial thought was also that, should
a fraudster intend, in the event of a disaster occurring in country XYZ,
to register the name National Society XYZ as a second level domain name
with fraudulent intentions, s/he would be most likely to do so in English
for maximum impact.</i></font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">3. The official and usual names of National
Societies <i>with</i> and <i>without</i> hyphens separating the words (e.g.
British Red Cross and British-Red-Cross).</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">This is proposed to be limited for National
Societies’ names in latin script (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian,
Portuguese, Flemish, Dutch, etc.);</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">4. Where relevant to do so, <i>with</i> and
<i>without </i>the article “The” (e.g. “American National Red Cross”
and the “The American National Red Cross; “American Red Cross” and “The
American Red Cross);</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial"> 5. Where
relevant to do so, <i>with</i> and <i>without</i> the designation or word
“Society” (“British Red Cross” and “British Red Cross Society”; “Afghan
Red Crescent” and “Afghan Red Crescent Society”; “Croix-Rouge française”
and “Société Nationale de la Croix-Rouge française”);</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial"> 6. For
names in latin script and where pertinent to do so, with the adjective
indicating national affiliation <i>and </i>with the name of the State (“Croix-Rouge
tchadienne” and “Croix-Rouge du Tchad“; "Azerbaijan Red Crescent",
"Red Crescent of Azerbaijan").</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">II. We
take good note of the <u>four column list</u> proposed by Thomas and welcome
the opportunity to discuss this during today's ConfCall. Might a simpler
solution not be to complete the current list/table with three columns -
to include 1) numbering, 2) designations for protection, 2) their associated
DNA label? Would this not allow for an easier subsequent handling?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">III. We
take note also of Thomas’ suggested principle that the <i>Scope of the
identifiers be only that of Scope 2 as defined in the original PDP excluding
acronyms and other designations not already adopted by the Board (ex. icrc.
cicr, mkkk, ifrc, ficr, mfkk, redstarofdavid, magendavidadom).</i></font>
<br>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We would still appreciate a clarification
of the GNSO WG’s views on the implications of that exclusion, especially
concerning</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Wingdings">§ </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The
acronyms of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations
(which the GAC had advised, in its Durban Communiqué (18 July 2013), be
placed under the same cost neutral mechanisms to be worked out for the
protection of acronyms of IGO's);</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Wingdings">§ </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Names
already included by the Board in the list of reserved names such as “magen
david adom”, “red star of david”, but also “international red cross
and red crescent movement” in the 6 UN languages (that is the Statutory
name endorsed by the States), etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does this mean that the Board will be
expected to make its own final determination regarding the above?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">IV. Lastly,
and mindful that the time allocated for today’s discussion may not suffice,
there are two issues on which the WG’s thoughts would be appreciated:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- The
first is whether the WG’s upcoming recommendations to the GNSO Council
should not consider to expressly recommend that the Red Cross and Red Crescent
names/identifiers be included on a “modified reserved names list” (which
I believe is the correct term) in order to preserve the prerogative of
concerned Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations to register their own
names, should they require to do so in the future. This has, as many WG
members will recall been raised in the past (including during the Copenhagen
session). Should this not form a part pf the WG’s consideration and conclusion?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- The
second question is if the Group could give some time of reflection to a
point also already addressed in Copenhagen and raised I believe by Chuck
during the last call – namely regarding a criteria and an eventual mechanism
to allow National Societies to challenge and object to the registration
of confusingly similar names.</font>

conversation later today.</font>
