[gnso-rpm-wg] GNSO RPM Working Group Introductions/SOI

Mon Mar 28 20:29:14 UTC 2016

Thanks, Mary - and hello everyone!

I am a trademark/copyright attorney from the San Francisco Bay Area, and currently Senior Counsel with Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP.  I am also the current American Bar Association representative to the IPC.  I have counseled clients on domain name disputes and RPM's since 2007.

My goal is to promote a balanced and reasoned approach to the DNS, one that respects the legitimate rights of brand owners and domain name registrants alike, with a particular focus on the welfare and safety of Internet users and the consuming public.

I look forward to working with each of you.

Kind regards,
Marina

Thank you so much, George, and hello everybody, welcome to the Policy Development Process Working Group that’s been chartered by the GNSO Council to review all the rights protection mechanisms (RPMs) that have been developed for all gTLDs!

Staff will be working with our interim WG chair and Council liaison, Philip Corwin, to set up the first meeting of the Working Group, currently anticipated to be sometime around mid-April. Some of you will have already participated in previous GNSO Working Groups, while others may be less familiar with the procedures and expectations, so staff will also be scheduling a webinar at around the same time to go over the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) and the GNSO’s Working Group Guidelines.

In the meantime, given that there are indeed a large number of members and observers to this Working Group, it will be helpful if others follow George’s lead and take the opportunity to introduce yourselves, your expertise and interest in this PDP, to everyone via this email list. As with all GNSO mailing lists, all messages are publicly archived so you will be able to look up others’ (and your own) information and postings.

Finally, if you haven’t already filled in your Statement of Interest - which is one of the few requirements for participation in a GNSO Working Group - we would greatly appreciate it if you can do so at your earliest convenience. Please follow this link to either create a new SOI or update an existing one: https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Just to followup on my earlier "introduction" email, it appears that
this working group is up to 129 participants (and counting), see:

https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58729950

(92 members + 37 observers) It's great to see some familiar names, and
some new ones too.

As folks relax over this long holiday weekend, you might want to take
a moment to introduce yourself to your fellow working group
participants with a short email to the list, for what I hope will be a
very productive PDP.

Best regards,

Hi folks,

(resending the email from this morning, as the mailing list now
appears to be working properly)

I've followed ICANN for many years, and am volunteering on this
working group as an independent. My Statement of Interest is at:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/George+Kirikos+SOI

I look forward to a review and reform of RPMs in such a manner that >
the interests of domain name registrants and due process are
understood, represented, and reflected in the final
analysis/recommendations.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
