there are many more practitioners than those

<p>Hi Jason and All,</p>

<div

<p>There seems to be a misunderstanding, and
that's OK. I thought that Staff would be
uploading the Practitioners spreadsheet that I
started to allow everyone to help continue the
work. I did not see that below, so I have
uploaded the spreadsheet and opened it up. <b><i>Could
you help fill in the Practitioners? I did
the first 100 or so, but I am willing to bet
that the Practitioners at the start of the
URS may be only a small set of those who
have been practicing in URS proceedings more
recently.
</i></b></p>
<p>Could you help with filling in the
spreadsheet? A half hour or so of everyone's
time before this Wednesday's meeting (members
and staff) should give us some great insight!
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">To
avoid overlaps, I've put in names below. No
obligation -- just a space in the spreadsheet
should you want to. Link below. Some guidance
for quick & easy searches at the top of the
spreadsheet. You should have full edit
privileges!<br>

a Google spreadsheet of the list of
practitioners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2. Staff will prepare
a Google doc with the questions and arrange
them in buckets.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><b>Notes:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>1. Overview of scope
of work and selection of Sub Team chair(s)
(if desired): Jason Schaeffer volunteered to
Chair.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Scope of Work</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Look to the
expertise of this group on identifying
practitioners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Brainstorm on
scope and nature of concerns to help drive
the questions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2. Discussion:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>a) Identify a list of
experienced URS practitioners:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Looking to
identify a set of experienced URS
practitioners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Wondering if we
should include on the agenda how we do the
outreach to these practitioners? What do we
ask them?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Start filling in a
spreadsheet of practitioners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Start with who we
know now and add to it, from URS cases.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Think it is
important to think on the practitioner side
-- there are a lot of people who practice in
this space, but others who have decided not
to do URS, but use UDRP instead. Get
insight from people who practice in online
enforcement and find out why they don't use
the URS.</span></p>

of Dunstable, International, GB.; Doug
Eisenberg, David Bernstein, Flip Petillon,
Zak Muscovitch, CSC Digital Brand Services
of Wilmington, DE (representative to TM
owners), Mark Monitor, Stobbs Julius E
Stobbs of Cambridge (does a lot of the
Virgin work), David E. Weslow of Washington,
DC, China Trademark Association to help
identify practitioners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>b) Develop a list of
questions directed at these practitioners:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Organization: Seems
that we will have procedural issues,
substantive issues and practical issues
(filing mechanics, word limitations,
etc>) Should we break up our work into
different buckets? The third bucket could
be tactics and approaches or something
similar, to cover questions to both URS and
non-URS practitioners, eg those that chose
alternate methods — UDRP, litigation, etc</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Questions:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Do they use TMCH
or a printout from active web sites. Why
they use one for evidence of use over the
other one, for establishing the claim.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- .SMD file -- is it
a good basis for proof of use of the mark?
If not, what would they recommend?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Threshold
question: whether or not a practitioner is
choosing to use the URS and if not why are
they bypassing the URS?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- If they are
bringing a claim are they happy with the
process? Is the process clear? Any
procedural problems?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Notice: Are
practitioners finding that the notice is
getting through to the registrant and which
one is getting through? Hard copy, email,
etc.?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- How do the
practitioners feel about the ability to
refile after 6 months, appeal process? The
extended mechanisms.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Questions on the
burden of proof and the remedies available.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- The appeal process
-- what do they think about it? Its use by
domain name holders? What can we do to make
it better? May be very few cases that have
appealed, is it being used?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Fees: Ask about
whether the fee is too high or too low?
Whether or not the fee structure works for
the URS and does it factor into a brand
protector whether or not to file.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Response fee for
multiple filing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- What do they think
about the suspension for the duration of the
registration? Whether to have an extended
time of the suspension. The suspension may
also apply to the decision whether or not to
use the URS as a protection mechanism.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- The way that the
brand owner and practitioners -- how do they
know about the URS?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- How do registrants
know about the responses to the URS and the
affirmative defenses? Question about URS
awareness generally and how it is
disseminated to brand owners and others, and
the effectiveness of that.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- How do the
practitioners feel about the expertise of
the examiners and the fairness of the
decisions. Whether or not the practitioners
are satisfied with the examiners and the
fairness of their decisions. Also gets to
the issue of training of examiners.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Whether or not
there should be something analogous for the
URS that gives more certainty to the
structure. Should we have a analogous
WIPO's reviews.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Apart from looking
at remedies and effectiveness -- look at the
burden of proof, is it clear, does it need
to be modified? Bad faith, and/or
discussion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Should there be
more guidance regarding what meets the
"clear and convincing" standard? This might
get into training for providers, for the
larger group.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Other thought
regards WHOIS issues (inaccuracy of such)
and how that impacts -- particularly with
the GPDR</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>3. Next steps/next
meeting:
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Next steps: Staff
to produce Google docs and circulate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>-- Next meeting: 28
February at 1800 UTC.</span></p>
