    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Todd and Val,<br>
      Tx you for the discussion! I appreciate it and am glad to know to
      know there are ways to address some of the concerns with
      clarifying language. Val, thanks in particular for your guidance
      on wording. All, I will sit down tomorrow, "track changes" and pen
      in hand, and edit a version that hopefully clarifies
      communications and defaults per our joint understanding! <br>
      <br>
      Re: Supoenas, the story seems to be a bit more complicated. I've
      done some outreach this week to attorneys who spend a lot of time
      with copyright identity disclosure supoenas. What they say is
      that, yes, courts in the US rapidly issue a "reveal" subpoena, but
      that is only the beginning of the story.  The Provider who
      receives the subpoena notifies its Customer. The Providers provide
      time - generally 30 days or more -- for the the Customer to
      respond. The Customers can then file on their own behalf in court
      - a request to quash -- and/or the Provider can file in court to. 
      <br>
      <br>
      <br>
      The following quote comes from Mitch Stoltz, Attorney with the
      Electronic Frontier Foundation, and he summarizes his thoughts on
      the "state of play" of copyright and similar subpoenas:<br>
      <br>
      ==&gt;There is an emerging consensus among courts around the U.S.
      that merely accusing one who speaks anonymously on the Internet of
      some violation of law (be it trademark, libel, or another law)
      doesn’t strip the speaker of their right to speak anonymously. The
      right of free expression requires a balancing of interests by an
      impartial judge before anonymity can be stripped away. Because
      Internet sites, and their domain names, are the preeminent medium
      of free expression in the 21st century, the ability to register
      and maintain a domain name anonymously is an essential part of
      freedom of expression that must be protected through a similar
      balancing of interests and a fair, neutral decisionmaking process.
      An accusation that is legally deficient, vague, pretextual, or
      harassing should not result in the identification of an anonymous
      domain registrant, even if the registrant does not respond.   <br>
      <br>
      Best,<br>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Let
            me add my thanks Kathy for circulating your thoughts, which
            I thought stimulated a good discussion on Tuesday.  As I
            mentioned on that call, I think most if not all of what
            you’ve outlined goes to basic drafting
            revisions/clarifications, rather than to substantive
            disagreements.  So with the goal of moving the process
            forward in anticipation of next Tuesday’s call, perhaps we
            as a WG can go through some of your substantive comments (I
            don’t have an issue with your general comments)
            point-by-point.  I’ll start:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

             Both FN1 and the Annex address possible methods of
            resolving Provider claims of false
            statements/misrepresentations.  Certainly we as a WG should
            discuss the various options in the Annex further.  But that
            discussion would presumably relate to the method, not to the
            actual sanctions.  I’m not sure that it’s within our ambit
            as a WG (or ICANN’s?) to proscribe what the sanctions would
            be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

              bar.”</span></u><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">
             In terms of the “much higher bar” – what would you
            propose?  You mentioned using the DMCA § 512(h) as a go-by,
            but I think that’s actually a lower standard, not a higher
            one.  Not to get too into the weeds of the DMCA (which we’re
            only really referencing here as a go-by), but my basic
            understanding is that § 512(h)(4) says that as long as the
            notice, subpoena, and declaration are in proper form, the
            clerk “shall expeditiously issue” the subpoena, and that §
            512(h)(5) says that the provider must then “expeditiously
            disclose” the information required by the subpoena.  So the
            whole process is automatic: there’s no discretion or
            substantive review by either the clerk or by the provider. 
            Conversely, the process outlined in III(B) of the proposal
            that we’re considering gives the P/P Provider discretion to
            either: 1) disclose; 2) refuse to disclose (and provide it’s
            reasons why); or 3) ask for more time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            As I mentioned on the call, I don’t read III(B) as requiring
            disclosure in cases of default.  Rather, if there is a
            default (“after the time for Customer’s response has
            passed”), the P/P Provider can
            <b><i>either</i></b>: 1) disclose; 2) refuse to disclose
            (and provide it’s reasons why); or 3) ask for more time.  If
            the Provider chooses Option (2) and the Requestor doesn’t
            like the reasons the Provider gives as to why, the Requestor
            can then request reconsideration under III(F).  And if the
            Provider still refuses, the matter can go to the
            ICANN-approved dispute resolution process referenced in
            FN4.  But nowhere does Section III contemplate automatic
            disclosure after default.  I think that’s relatively clear
            from the way that Section III is drafted and structured, but
            if you want to propose clarifying language to make that
            point more clear, please do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">. 
            Section III(F) and FN4 already contemplate this.  So I don’t
            think the question on the table is <b><i>whether</i></b>
            the proposal should allow for this (it does), but under what
            circumstances.  As Michele noted on the call on Tuesday,
            requiring third-party independent review too often, or
            otherwise making the process too convoluted, isn’t going to
            help, because P/P Providers (who, as Michele noted,
            typically don’t charge very much for the service) are just
            going to draft their Terms of Service to say “if we get a
            complaint about X then we’re going to terminate the service”
            rather than going through the independent review.  In light
            of that, I think the proposal strikes the right balance on
            the third-party independent review (basically, it’s
            available, but only for the tough cases in which the
            Provider has twice refused to disclose).  But if you think
            there is a way to adjust that balance, while still
            accounting for Michele’s cost concern, let us know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            But if you want to add a clause to III(E) to make that more
            clear, that’s fine.  Would this tweak do it: “If refusal to
            disclose is based on objection to disclosure by the
            Customer, Provider must inform Requestor of the reasons for

                in all references of infringement (e.g., trademarks,
                copyrights of domain names/websites. Another good term
                would be “claimed infringement” -- which is the one used
                in similar sections of the Digital Millennium Copyright

                levels of protections for the Customer/Registrant?  In

                liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees
                caused from injury resulting from the misrepresentation.

                a Customer/Registrant might write to their Provider must
                be passed on verbatim (if I read this correctly).  But
                that’s a problem for those with English as a second

                explain their position clearly to the Provider – and
                this should not be passed on to the Requester
                automatically either.  I am not sure of th answer here
                as IP Owners should know something about the response,
