<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the update.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have to say - I find this result a bit surprising. Having participated in every previous call, I can't think of any other cases where a question from a subgroup member was handled this way. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white">We
have 17 pages of questions - probably at least a hundred in total - less than five of which came from me. T</span>he approach taken thus far has seemed very inclusive to adding queries where there was some support. That's why my comments recommending the addition
were so brief - I didn't expect to have to dig in and justify the question to this degree, since I haven't seen others challenged in this way for a question which seems to me (and to others, evidently) to be obviously related to our work. That said - I am
of course happy to engage further on this.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Having listened to the call now - there seems to have been two objections raised which made this "controversial". First, it was stated that having represented trademark owners (or defended against trademark claims) does not necessarily
mean an examiner is biased, nor should it disqualify a person from being an examiner. This I fully agree with, of course, and I would not suggest otherwise. But beyond questions over a particular examiner's neutrality, it's relevant to consider whether the
system as a whole has the appearance of bias. A judge having formerly been a prosecutor is fine. But if every judge in the country was a former prosecutor, it would
<a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/3/28/11306422/supreme-court-prosecutors-career" target="_blank">
surely give rise to concerns</a>. This is why I'm asking - not to try and disqualify any individual - but to assess potential biases which may be baked into the system as a whole. This is highly relevant to our task at hand.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, it was raised that the question might be "unanswerable". First - I'll note that there were several questions which we included which may be challenging to respond to, or where data may be unavailable. Previously, I recall we dealt
with these by saying we could submit them, and if the providers didn't have responsive data they could indicate as such (that's why we see questions starting with "are you aware of", "do you have knowledge of" etc.). That said, Phil raised a good point that
many lawyers will work both sides, and someone else mentioned that domain owners also owned trademarks and vice versa... Looking back, I think I was a bit unclear in my original phrasing, so instead let me propose as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>1. Would you say that a substantial majority of your examiners have professional experience that mainly draws from representing trademark holders seeking to enforce their rights, or mainly draws from domain registrants seeking to defend
against trademark claims, or would you say that your examiners include a mix of both, or that most have a history of representing both sides in these disputes?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this revised drafting, and given that I'm apparently not the only one who sees that this question is relevant and valid, I would request that the question be included alongside the others, rather than reserved for further discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
