<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are pleased to provide you with updates on two action items on the staff side from the last two Sub Team calls.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The first relates to documented rationale for a Sunrise RPM. As mentioned during the last Sub Team call, we were not able to find specific text in either the IRT or STI final reports that directly addressed
this question. However, in a 2005 paper on intellectual property considerations in introducing new gTLDs, WIPO’s Arbitration & Mediation Center had made a few observations that we thought might be possibly helpful, particularly in relation to its examination
of how previous gTLD launches had dealt with Sunrise. An extract from that 2005 paper is attached, and includes a link to the full paper for your reference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">(FYI you may also be interested to know that the IPC had produced a booklet on “The Perfect Sunrise” in 2008 where you can find a summary of the Sunrise mechanisms adopted by some of the gTLDs launched in
the 2004 round (.aero, .asia, .biz, .mobi and .museum): <a href="https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/perfect-sunrise-jun08-en.pdf">
https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/perfect-sunrise-jun08-en.pdf</a> (from pages 10-26).)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The second staff action item was for us to recirculate the information that Deloitte had provided to our Working Group in relation to SMD files and the TMCH:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Here is the question that our TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team asked Deloitte and Deloitte’s answer (in January):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">“Q: How many SMD files has the TMCH revoked as a result of cancellation or expiration of the underlying trademark(s)? How many TMCH disputes have been brought relating to SMD file
validity for trademarks that are cancelled/expired? <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A: Please note that are numerous reasons why a SMD file is revoked. A SMD file, as requested by the community, contains the trademark information and the contact information. This
entails that each change revokes the current SMD file and a new SMD file is generated. In addition, a user can opt out of the sunrise services at any time which revokes the current SMD file as well as the fact that the information of trademark record is no
longer accurate.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Consequently, we do not keep track of the reasons why a SMD file is revoked as this is technically linked to the different stages and interactions with the Trademark Clearinghouse.
Due to this and the mere fact that this was never imposed by the community, the validity of a SMD file is not a reason for dispute with the TMCH.”</span></i><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In Copenhagen, Deloitte provided an updated report on TMCH numbers where it also explained what a deactivated TMCH record means: “What happens if a trademark record goes to invalid? Does it need
the database? So for trademark clearinghouse purposes it was always requested that no data would be deleted. So that's why it … becomes deactivated. So in the event that a client wishes no longer to have anything to do with the clearinghouse those trademark
records will indeed become - I mean, will have the deactivated status now.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This followed from Deloitte’s response to the additional questions it had been sent by our Working Group, noting that when a TM holder informs the TMCH that a mark has been cancelled, the TMCH record
becomes deactivated and Sunrise services are cancelled within 24 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We hope the above is useful. <o:p>
