Dear all,

The independent reviewer engaged to perform a review of the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) has just published its Draft Report for public comments: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/tmch-review-2016-07-25-en. In accordance with ICANN procedure, the public comment period will remain open for 40 days, closing on 3 September. ICANN staff will then prepare a staff report of public comments received, and the independent reviewer will analyze the input received in preparing its Final Report.

Given the scope of the Policy Development Process (PDP) that our Working Group is conducting, staff will be arranging a call between our Members and the Analysis Group (the TMCH independent reviewer) sometime in the next few weeks, to discuss the report as it pertains to the scope of our work. Members may also be interested to know that our TMCH Sub Team will be doing a call with the Analysis Group this Friday, for the narrower and more specific purpose of discussing data sources and gaps between the data collection/research work done for the TMCH Independent Review and that to be done by our TMCH Sub Team.

You can find more information, including background to the TMCH review and the original Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) request for the review, at the link provided above. In addition, for your convenience, here is a direct link to the Draft Report: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/reviews/tmch/draft-services-review-25jul16-en.pdf.

Please look out for a forthcoming note on the Working Group call to be scheduled with the Analysis Group.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
