<p>A belated and big thank you to Kurt for drafting the letter to
the TMCH below. My only change would be to revise it to come from
all 3 Co-Chairs. Otherwise, it is perfect. Tx you, Kurt!<br>

<base href="x-msg://73/">Hi Kathy:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During the last meeting of the RPM-TMCH sub-group we briefly
discussed writing a letter to the TMCH to request their regular
reports to ICANN. I mentioned that I could draft a request that
you, as Chair, could send to the TMCH. That draft is below. If
you choose to write to the Clearinghouse, you can edit the
letter in any way you see fit. Any comments from anyone on this
list would also be gratefully accepted and considered.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Address the letter to: </div>
<div>Vicky Folens <<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the letter, let me know if you have any questions as
to why I assembled it in this way:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dear Vicky and Peter:<br>
<br>
I am writing to you as Co-Chair of the ICANN policy
working group that is reviewing the RPM mechanisms and, in
particular, as Chair of a sub-group that is seeking data to
support the work of the RPM review.<br>
<br>
It will not come as a surprise that we recognize that the
Trademark Clearinghouse might have access to meaningful data
that is relatively easy to obtain so long as it has not been
determined to be confidential.<br>
<br>
ICANN staff members have been able to provide data that has been
published through presentations by you and others at ICANN
meetings and other venues. But that data covers only certain
periods of time that were addressed by those presentations.<br>
<br>
We are aware that the Clearinghouse provides regular
data reports to ICANN. We are writing to request that the TMCH
make those reports available to our working group (with
confidential data redacted if need be). The data can be made
available in any way convenient to you. We would rather see the
reports rather than have you refine or synthesize the data in
any way.<br>
<br>
It might seem strange that we are requesting access to reports
without knowing the specific data in them or without providing
you with specific data sets that would help answer our charter
questions directly. Our thinking is that this data is rather
easily obtained since it has already be collected and
synthesized by you and is likely to be helpful in
answering several of our questions. Therefore, we thought to ask
for this “low hanging fruit” before making a deeper dive into
specific data that might be harder to obtain. In the end, we
think access to the reports will reduce our data
requests afterwards, lessen the amount of work overall, and
hasten the conclusion of our work.<br>
<br>
Please let me know how you view this request, any terms
or qualifications to the release of the reports if that can be
done, and any questions you might have. Of course, the entire
ICANN community wants us to get on with this work so please
respond in some way as quickly as possible.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much for considering this request. We look forward
to hearing from you.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kathy Kleiman</div>
<div><br>

<div>Kathy: I hope you find this helpful. </div>

<div>Best regards,</div>
