      <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>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>
