<p>Hi Phil,</p>
<p>As a co-chair, I'm a little surprised by the vehemence of the
debate. Many of us are lawyers and we're used to talking about
important issues in dispassionate ways. I think we should do so
here.<br>
</p>
<p>As an ordinary member, I participate in these discussions, as you
and Brian do, and in that capacity, I note that we have a
problem. I also see the seeds of the solution in your answer
below.</p>
<p>In 2009, we foresaw that there might be gaming of the Sunrise
period -- people registering trademarks for ordinary words to get
priority during Sunrise. We now see it happening. Journalists,
reporters and bloggers have done the work for us -- and no one
seems surprised by their results. I list some of the articles we
(as a Subteam) collected below. Links in our Sunrise Summary Table
under Q9 - <span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span

</span></p>
<p>Nothing in the MK proposal is burdensome, or unusual. It's
narrowly-tailored (too narrowly-tailored in my view) to prevent
gaming and to use systems already in place.
</p>
<p>As you note below, the cost of the vetting is part of the process
for many gTLDs and ccTLDs -- whether it is providing residency in
Japan or the objective standard for .bank or .insurance or
.attorney or .cpa. It's already built into our processes -- and
not burdensome -- and easily extended to Sunrise.<br>
</p>
<p>We know there is a misuse and even abuse of the Sunrise system.
The MK proposal is an easy fix, and one that actually protects and
preserves the balance of rights. We are being asked to solve
problems -- and this is a big one.<br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

to repeat myself, but to the extent there is gaming based on
weak marks it should be a focus of discussion when we review
requirements for mark recordation in the TMCH. But I have
seen no substantial evidence that legitimate trademark
holders are seeking to utilize sunrise registrations in
gTLDs other than those for which they have a good faith
belief that registration is necessary for brand protection.
Even where a sunrise registration might arguably be abusive,
I do not see that as placing any burden on the speech rights
of others who wish to register a domain name that bears some
resemblance.

also described why I believe adoption of this proposal will
require a costly bureaucracy to yield reasonably consistent
applications of what will always be a subjective standard
subject to interpretation. I do not see this as the same as
the objective standard for a .bank or .insurance domain
(where the cost of vetting is built into the registration
fee, and the requirement is satisfied by furnishing a
certificate evidencing that the applicant is a regulated
institution) or even ccTLDs, where some have objective
criteria to demonstrate being domiciled or doing business in
a particular jurisdiction. While I don’t believe that
Michael has the responsibility to provide a full-blown
implementation scheme, I have not yet heard a credible
explanation of how adoption of a relationship test will be
consistently administered in a cost-effective way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">Finally,
and more broadly, we are in the process of considering
proposals to recommend to the full WG for inclusion in the
Initial Report for public comment. While that does not
require a demonstration of consensus at this point, it
should require some reasonably strong support within the sub
team and, following that, the WG; and some prospect that
the proposal can achieve consensus down the road within the
WG (for the Final Report) and Council. Frankly, I don’t see
that reasonably strong support for Michael’s proposal within
the sub team but rather a sharp divide over whether there is
even a problem that requires addressing. And, while I have
no crystal ball, I feel reasonably confident that in the end
contracted parties will oppose it for administrative and
cost reasons, among others, and that BC and IPC members will
oppose it as putting yet another burden on sunrise
registrations – so I don’t see any prospect of consensus. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi All,<span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>I think the discussion is an important one because it is
brings up issues across categories.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>a) Michael's proposal addresses a problem we have found in
our data-driven analysis. There are gamers out there who are
registering trademarks in a certain category of goods and
services, and then using them to register an array of domain
names in Sunrise having nothing at all to do with the
categories of their trademark registration.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We committed at the outset of the RPMs -- in the 2009 era -
that we would not be expanding trademark rights. That's
exactly what is happening in these situations and
registrations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>b) The SDRP is broken - barely used because the Trademark
Clearinghouse was supposed to be public, during implementation
it was turned private, so challengers cannot get the
information they need to challenge. Plus, it's not the job a
challenger to police the basic principle of the entire RPM
process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Brian, you have mentioned your "suggested improvements to the
SDRP" from 2 years ago several times, but that was 1000s of
emails ago, and we worked hard to compile the data and
solutions that we are looking at today. Per the rules that we
agreed to as Co-Chairs and as a WG, we created a new table,
atop extensive data gathering, and things must be reintroduced
from prior to our URS break. If you could do so, that would be
very timely.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I've suggested changes to the SDRP that would give
challengers some chance to use it -- although only for the
narrow purpose intended. The SDRP was not intended to solve a
broad gaming problem -- because we did not anticipate one. We
know know it exists; and a policy/operational fix resolves it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>c) Michael suggests a narrowly tailored solution for a gaming
problem that we now know exists. His solution is completely
consistent with how registrars, in many of these gTLDs,
already handle General Availability (e.g., required proof to
register in .BANK). It's not a new process -- just a way to
use existing process to avoid gaming and preserve the
principles we agreed to in this process.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best, Kathy<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting, thanks for sharing. I
checked whether Mini made motorcycles before I sent my
proposal in... I didn't think to check whether they made
regular bicycles!<br>
<br>
By any chance, were you able to find any examples of the
company branching into the tattoo business as well (<a
href="http://mini.tattoo" moz-do-not-send="true">http://mini.tattoo</a>)?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if this presents a "nuance" in trademark
classes. I don't think it's much of a revelation that
"bikes" can refer to motorcycles or regular bicycles. All
this represents is a product line I was unaware of. And
under my proposal, all Mini would have to do would be to
include the link you provided when they register the
domain under sunrise, and that should be that.<br>
<br>
Personally, I don't see how the SDRP challenge process
could be retooled to turn it into something that
adequately represents the interests of potential future
registrants without injecting massive amounts of
transparency into the sunrise and TMCH processes... but I
would be interested to hear your thoughts as to how this
might work.<o:p></o:p></p>
