[Gnso-rpm-protection] Proposed Agenda for Additional Marketplace RPMs call

Fri Sep 1 21:41:28 UTC 2017

As promised on the call, here are my comments on question # 5, "How does
use of the Protected Marks Lists (e.g. blocking services) affect the
utilization of other RPMs?"

1. Are we asking this question for a) data collection or b) functional
purposes?

If just to understand things better from a functional level, I can envision
an answer along the approximate lines of:

Use of blocking services for a particular string prevents the registration
of the corresponding domain name by the trademark owner or by a prospective
3rd party registrant (unless there is an "DPML override"), across all TLDs
operated by the registry providing the service. As a result, use of
blocking services has the effect of reducing the utilization rate of the
mandatory RPMs, such as Sunrise or Claims, for strings that remain in a
blocked status.

2. If for data collection purposes, should we tweak this to ask, "How, and
to what extent, does use of the Protected Marks List affect the utilization
of other RPMs", in order to quantify the impact of these services?

To provide an example, if we discovered that 1,000 marks are collectively
blocked through these services in 200 TLDs, that will add meaning and
context to the overall number of Sunrise registrations.

In theory, 1,000 blocked strings in 300 TLDs means up to 300,000 domains
that may have otherwise been registered during Sunrise, do not get
registered in Sunrise because those strings are in a blocked status.

I understand it may be difficult to obtain this data in practice, but we
may want to just get that on the record to ensure the final report is
comprehensive and covers all the bases.

Sorry for the long note, and please let me know of any questions.

Hope everyone in the States has a great Holiday weekend!

Best, Claudio
