[gnso-rpm-wg] FOR REVIEW/ACTION - Members', staff and co-chairs' action items from the WG meeting today

[Petter Rindforth]

4 things… well, at least: 2 things that can be improved/changed about the PDDRP:
1) Considering the possibility to clearly introduce online mediation as a natural part of the initial phase (adding toPDDRP Section7.2.3(d), where the TM owner notify the Registry operator about its specific concerns and the resulting infringement and indicated its willingness to meet to resolve the issue).
2) Reach out toRySG to discuss the possibility to introduce “class action” – at least regarding 2nd level complaints. It may be necessary to make it possible to show infringement atthis level where a registry operator has a pattern or practice of actively and systematically encouraging registrants to register second level domain names and to take unfair advantage of the trademark to the extent and degree that bad faith is apparent, and/or where a registry operator has a pattern or practice of acting as the registrant or beneficial user of infringing registrations, to monetize and profit in bad faith.

All the best,
Petter

> Dear all,
> 
> The following are the action items captured by staff based on the Working Group members’ call earlier today. We will work with the co-chairs to refine and generate an up to date list of all the additional questions and issues relating to the TM-PDDRP identified in discussions in Helsinki and on the call today, and will circulate that list as soon as possible.
> 
> WORKING GROUP MEMBERS’ ACTION ITEMS:
> 
> 1.Members to provide input on whether it will be helpful to generate “use cases” that can be referred to experienced counsel for input, and ICANN staff. The aim here is to learn what they would do in those situations and discover any gaps not adequately or otherwise handled that would fall to be dealt with under the TM-PDDRP. Please feel free to discuss this idea via this email list.
> 
> 2.Members to send in their list of up to 4 things that they think can be improved/changed about the PDDRP (and up to 4 that should not). Please do so – either directly to ICANN staff or to this email list – by Monday 18 July if at all possible.
> 
> STAFF ACTION ITEMS:
> 
> 1.Contact ICANN Compliance with the following questions:
> ·Has ICANN Compliance received complaints from TM owners regarding issues that might be covered under the TM-PDDRP?
> ·If/when use cases are developed, ask which (if any) Compliance will refuse to handle on the basis that this ought to be dealt with under the TM-PDDRP (WG to consider related point – is the TM-PDDRP the mechanism of last resort after Compliance options are exhausted, or is it the only possible mechanism?)
> 
> 2.Invite Compliance colleagues to the next WG meeting (next week).
> 
> 3.Send calendar invitations for all WG calls through end-October.
> 
> STAFF/CO-CHAIRS ACTION ITEMS:
> 
> 1.Check with gTLD registries (possibly via letter to the Registries Stakeholder Group) to see if the informal pre-complaint notification procedure has even been invoked, and if issues were resolved without there being a need to invoke the TM-PDDRP
> 
> 2.Refine and generate updated list of additional issues/questions on the TM-PDDRP.
> 
> 3.Determine whether a half or full day PDP face to face (with remote participation) meeting on Day 1 of ICANN57 is necessary/feasible.
