[gnso-rpm-wg] Notes and Actions from the Rights Protection Mechanisms Working Group on 24 August 2016

[David Tait]

Dear all,

 

Here are the staff notes and action items from the Working Group (WG) call held yesterday. For your convenience, we have categorized them into three main issues, as you’ll see below, these are: (1) Report from Compliance Dashboard Review Sub Team, (2) WG discussion of the timeliness and scope of a Voluntary Online Mediation Sub Team in relation to TM-PDDRP review and (3) Overview of TMCH Sub Team discussion with the Analysis Group.

 

Compliance Dashboard Review Sub Team 

 

Data contained within the sub team report relating to complaints regarding cybersquatting may be pertinent but staff and co-chairs will investigate this further to understand. Lack of detail from compliance so not entirely clear if RRDRP statistics relate to actual complaints filed and what type of complaints fall under "Other".

 

ACTION: Staff and sub-team to explore further with ICANN Compliance

 

Voluntary Mediation Sub Team

 

Sub-team looking into how voluntary mediation might be structured, but this investigation of practical structuring does not prejudice a decision to recommend in favour of mediation but rather to create a structure to assist the discussions of the full Working Group which would reach a final determination on this. There was an extended discussion as to whether a basic question should be answered before establishing the sub team, namely: Has there been a demonstrated need to add a mediation component to the PDDRP? 

 

ACTION: Co-Chairs to discuss feedback from the WG and determine a route forward on this issue

 

TMCH Sub Team

 

The TMCH sub team has considered further data to be sought from both the analysis group and alternative sources including registrars and registries.

 

Reminder: The next meeting of the WG will take place on 31 August 2016 at 1600 UTC

 

Kind regards,

David
