<p><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black">The basis of the finding of bad faith is at the core of the proceeding, and important for transparency and legitimacy--and it is precisely what our research shows is missing from a substantial minority of cases; the problem with
missing marks is not as great. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Further to an email from Kathy Kleiman today, there seems to be emerging agreement in this subteam that a “checklist” of sorts to guide URS examiners on the minimal elements
that should be in a URS determination will be proposed to the full WG for consideration as a policy recommendation of the WG.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Aside from some of those already mentioned (e.g., the domain name(s) at issue, the mark(s) at issue, any use of the corresponding site(s), party names, date(s) of registration
of the relevant domain names, (in) applicability of registrant defenses, etc.) do you have any specific suggestions for additional elements to consider?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If it turns out that this is a more or less comprehensive list, the recommendation may be more that it is

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Having run through the excel sheet, it seems to largely support the preliminary view of this subteam that the URS generally seemed to working as intended.

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It also seems that there is a small subset of cases where this is little to no justification by the examiner beyond reciting the URS elements (which is not by itself per se
evidence of a failure of the system or the particular case/examiner, and which must be weighed against the URS goals of speed, cost, and the nature of the domain names at issue).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">All said, this supports the complimentary preliminary view of this subteam that one possible recommendation for the full WG to consider would be some sort of checklist of minimum
elements that should be included in URS determinations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
