[gnso-rpm-wg] PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK: Latest TMCH Charter questions and updated Work Plan

[Mathieu Weill]

Dear all,



I have been observing the group from afar and joined as a Member only 
recently, so apologies in advance if this has been discussed before.



My suggestion is based on a discussion that took place today during a panel 
at the INTA Brussels meeting regarding geographic indications and the TMCH. 
It was mentioned that the TMCH apparently did accept GI registrations, and I 
think it would be helpful to confirm and gather data if that is the case.



So, within the Guidance section, I wonder whether we could add a question 
(maybe next to 4.) such as :

How are Geographic Indications and/or Appellations/Designations of Origin 
handled by the TMCH provider ? How many such registrations were submitted / 
approved ?



Best regards,

Mathieu Weill

and updated Work Plan



Dear all,



As agreed on the Working Group call that just ended, staff is recirculating 
the latest draft of the TMCH Charter Questions, which indicates which 
questions have been refined and clarified by the TMCH Charter Questions Sub 
Team. We are also attaching the slides that were used for our Working Group 
session at ICANN57, where you can see at a glance the refined Charter 
questions that had been agreed on by the Sub Team as of end-October. As 
mentioned on the call, these are all the suggested questions under the 
Guidance and Verification categories, plus the first question in the Balance 
category. Since Hyderabad, the Sub Team has made progress on additional 
questions in the Balance category, which you will see highlighted in green 
on the Tabulated Categories document. Please provide your comments and 
feedback, if any, on all these Charter questions that have been refined and 
agreed by the Sub Team, who will hopefully be in a position to present the 
remaining Charter questions at the Working Group call next week.



We are also attaching the updated Work Plan that was displayed during the 
call. As with the Sub Team-agreed TMCH Charter questions, please provide 
your comments and feedback, if any, on the Work Plan as soon as possible.



For the information of Working Group members who were not on the call, we 
hope to receive input shortly from Registries and Registrars on a set of 
specific questions that had been developed by the TMCH Data Gathering Sub 
Team – however, we have been informed that, given the workload and amount of 
requests that these two Stakeholder Groups have been receiving, the input 
may not be as timely or as comprehensive as we may have hoped. The TMCH Data 
Gathering Sub Team also developed a set of questions to be sent to the TMCH 
Providers – following some clarifications based on feedback received from 
ICANN GDD (who have been working with the TMCH Providers), those questions 
should be sent to the Providers by the end of this week.



Thanks and cheers

Mary

Subject: Proposed agenda and documents for Working Group call this Wednesday



Dear Working Group Members,



The proposed agenda for our next Working Group meeting this Wednesday is as 
follows (please note that this is subject to changes that may be made by the 
WG co-chairs):



1.      Roll call (via Adobe Connect and phone bridge only) and updates to 
Statements of Interest

2.      Continue review of suggested questions for the review of the 
Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) from the TMCH Charter Questions Sub Team 
(latest version attached)

3.      Review updated Work Plan (attached)

4.      Any other business

5.      Next steps / next meeting



For #2, you may recall that several clarified/refined questions (as agreed 
by the Sub Team up to that point in time) were presented to the community at 
ICANN57, although there was not a lot of time for a full discussion. These 
questions are those in the Guidance and Verification & Data categories, and 
the first question from the Balance category.



For #3, please note that the co-chairs have not yet had a chance to comment 
on the attached document.



Thanks and cheers

Mary
