[gnso-rpm-wg] Agenda & updated documents for next RPM Working Group call on 19 July 2017

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

Please find below the proposed agenda for the next Working Group call (scheduled for next Wednesday 19 July at 1700 UTC). Updated Sunrise and Claims documents (see further below) are also attached to this email for your reference and review.

Agenda:

  1.  Roll call (via Adobe Connect and phone bridge only); updates to Statements of Interest
  2.  Continue discussion of TM Claims refined Charter questions (30 minutes)
  3.  Confirm scope of any further work on Sunrise and Claims questions, and whether that is to be done by the full WG or the Sub Teams
  4.  Review results of poll on Open TMCH Questions and agree on next steps for the general TMCH review
  5.  Next steps/next meeting

Please note:

  *   An updated document for the refined Sunrise Charter questions is attached – updates made as a result of the Working Group’s discussion on the last call of 12 July and as tracked by the Action Items sent out by Amr (below) have been highlighted in yellow. Please review the updates and send any corrections or suggestions to this mailing list at your earliest convenience.


  *   For Agenda Item #2 – a slightly updated Trademark Claims document is attached, showing only one update from the document circulated for the 12 July call. This update (in the form of a comment box) tries to capture the discussion over the collection of data relating to registration abandonment attempts for so-called “dictionary” terms.


  *   For Agenda Item #3 – staff will send a collated report of all the poll responses received on Monday 17 July, following the close of the poll later today (Friday).


  *   Finally, staff will continue to work with the Working Group co-chairs to review the data collection suggestions for Sunrise, to develop a proposal for prioritizing and ordering the collection exercise as well as a sequence for the Working Group’s review of the Charter questions for which data has been identified as needed.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from GNSO Review of all RPMs in all gTLDs PDP WG Call - 12 July 2017

Dear Working Group Members,

Below are the action items from the WG call on 12 July. The action items, notes, meeting documents, recordings and transcripts can all also be found on the meeting wiki page here: https://community.icann.org/x/Z2jwAw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_Z2jwAw&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=DJ69mAe-idEhpAMF1nu2x6c2w3xl7xb5cjS_7sB4h6Y&m=ppS-UuvX3CmlNZVlFBX40Dn3Ir5-WevG8ghaNVTvW7Q&s=ltcSj8w77Wzt6wZncRvaMPWjGZv4K1SHaCfceVZC8vk&e=>

Action Items:

Action Items for WG members:

  1.  WG to develop a definition for “Standard Pricing”
  2.  WG to follow up with a revision of the definition for “Premium Pricing”, to reflect higher prices for Premium Names
  3.  WG to suggest rewording for Q3 (refined) in the Sunrise Registrations document to include the ability of TM owners to challenge the classification of terms as Reserved Names as well as Premium Names, taking into account the fact that Premium Names may also be Reserved Names. Consider also whether use of the word "release" is appropriate in this context
  4.  WG to consider how best to rephrase TM Claims refined Q1 & 2, to more clearly delineate between the intent and effect of a Claims Notice and a Notice of Registered Name

Action Items for staff/co-chairs:

  1.  Staff to add “unfairly” to the second bullet of Sunrise Registrations refined question 2, so that it reads “Is there evidence that Registry Sunrise or Premium Name pricing unfairly limits trademark owners’ ability to participate during Sunrise?”
  2.  Staff to include Maxim’s comment on the scope of the ICANN “picket fence” in the document in reference to Q3 (refined) for Sunrise Registrations
  3.  Staff to archive the original Charter questions for Sunrise Registrations and use the reworded questions from now on, keeping the new comments from Johannesburg and deleting the older ones that have been resolved (the original questions and older comments will be recorded in an Annex for a comprehensive record)
  4.  Staff to post INTA survey results to the RPM WG wiki
  5.  Staff and co-chairs to review the Sunrise data collection questions to determine which would be easier, quicker and more of a priority to collect, to inform the order in which the WG tackles the refined Charter questions
