<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Hi team:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">In the hopes that we can wrap up our calls this Friday and report on our work to the plenary group next week, I’d like to kick off our final action item, assigned to us a week ago by the plenary
WG – that is, to include in the Charter questions and workplan, a discussion of the Shatan/Winterfeldt/Graham proposals (“S/W/G proposal”).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">For anyone out of pocket, I apologize for the long email with colors and formatting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The proposed language from the chat, submitted by Kathy, is:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In light of the evidence of the TM Claims gathered in Questions 1-3 above, how extensive is the need for non-exact matches? What is the proof of harm under the existing system? What unintended consequences
might non-exact matches have? What is the appropriate balance going forward? a. If non-exact matches are not adopted, then no further action is necessary. b. If non-exact matches of some form are adopted, should the marks in the TMCH be used to generate non-exact
matches for the purpose of providing a broader range of claims notices? If so, how should the claims notices be written?<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As I started to think about this in the context of the other charter questions, I started to think about the way we had the charter questions structured and how this would fit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">New Q1 is gating: What’s working, what’s not.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">New Q2 brings up all the current proposed “solutions.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">New Q3 asks about the wording of the claims notice.<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">Putting all of the S/W/G proposal factors into a single new question meant we’d be duplicating effort. So, I decided to take a risk. We’ve finalized our charter questions. But in order to really fit them
in the proper place, I’m suggesting to work the S/W/G proposal questions in, as below.<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">That keeps Q1 as gating: intended/unintended effects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">That makes sure we keep all the proposals in Q2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">That makes sure we discuss the variations in language (Q3) for the notice at the same time.<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">And the newly-revised Q4 adds time to discuss how it could work technologically.<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">Thoughts on my straw proposal below?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Do you support the “working in” option or the creation of a single, multi-part standalone question?</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">(I just extracted the Updated questions for the purposes of this discussion…we are NOT eliminating any columns)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I suggest that we ensure any UDRP/URS data gathering we initiate include a question looking for evidence to support or refute the assertion that UDRP and URS cases demonstrate significant abuse of non-exact match terms and when those terms are registered, relative
to the launch of the TLD.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Winterfeldt: <i>"In light of the evidence of the TM Claims gathered in Questions 1-3 above, how extensive is the need for non-exact matches? What is the proof of harm under the existing system? What unintended consequences might non-exact matches have? What
is the appropriate balance going forward? a. If non-exact matches are not adopted, then no further action is necessary. b. If non-exact matches of some form are adopted, should the marks in the TMCH be used to generate non-exact matches for the purpose of
providing a broader range of claims notices? If so, how should the claims notices be written?"</i>
