[gnso-rpm-wg] FOR REVIEW/DISCUSSION: Updated table of TMCH Charter Questions

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

Please find attached an updated version of the TMCH Charter Questions table, which staff has prepared based on the Working Group discussion during the Working Group call this past Wednesday. In addition to the updates made to Category 1 Question 4 (on design marks), Category 2 Questions 1 and 2 (rejection of TMCH submissions and handling of cancelled trademarks), and Category 3 Questions 1, 2 and 3 (balancing of rights, the generic/scope issue, and TM+50), we have retained in this version the changes made last week to Category 1 Questions 1-3 so that you can review all the agreed changes to date.

Please note that a few Working Group member comments remain to be either considered or responses finalized – we have retained these in the document as well for your easy reference.

We have yet to discuss and finalize the following remaining questions: Category 3 Question 4, and the questions in Category 4 and Category 5.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: Proposed agenda and documents for RPM Working Group call on 14 December

Dear all,

The proposed agenda for our next Working Group call, scheduled for 14 December at 1700 UTC, is as follows:


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

2.      Continue discussion of proposed TMCH Charter questions (see attached document)

3.      [If time permits] Review responses received to TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team list of questions sent to New gTLD Registry Operators (see attached)

4.      Next steps/next meeting

For Agenda Item #2: the attached document contains updates made by staff based on the Working Group’s discussions on the call last week. It also includes the co-chairs’ proposed compromise language on the “generic terms” issue (Category 3, Question 2) that was circulated to the mailing list earlier today, and a few additional suggestions made to the mailing list since the last call and as of today (13 December).

For Agenda Item #3: the attached document is a compilation of responses received so far from three registry operators (Public Interest Registry, Donuts, and Afnic) to the list of questions for New gTLD Registry Operators that was prepared by the TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team. Staff will continue to update the document as and when we receive any additional responses from other registries.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
