[gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items from the GNSO Review of all RPMs in all gTLDs PDP WG Call - 8 June 2017

[claudio di gangi]

Dear all,

I was on the call but not on the chat, so helpful to read the chat comments.

As Jonathan suggested on the call, I think we need to get more info from
Deloitte about the 75 records in the TMCH that went in under the Statute or
Treaty category.

Specifically, we need to find out if, how many, and which of 75 records
(out of the 40,000+) consist of GIs that are not protected as certification
or collective marks. I don't think Deloitte has provided an answer to this
question because I don't think they organized things in this manner but I
leave it up to them to respond.

Also, I wanted to inform the full group that I withdrew my proposal about
including GIs in the TMCH because it was based on my misunderstanding of
the work plan, as I joined the WG midstream. I'm sorry for any confusion
that caused.

So the upcoming poll questions on GIs will be based solely on Kathy's and
Paul's proposals that GIs be removed from the TMCH (hence the importance of
determing more about the 75 records discussed above if folks want to remove
any of them).

The question I asked Phil last night was whether the TMCH questions will
forclude discussion of other issues relating to GIs further down the road,
such as the voluntary RPMs. Phil responded that those issues will not be
closed off based on the TMCH questions, which makes sense to me.

The example that I provided was .PARIS, which describes a limited
registration period in their launch plan in which GIs can be protected
after the Sunrise. Since this is not related to the TMCH proposals we have
been discussing, Phil stated these issues can be reviewed in that context,
which is consistent with my understanding.

Best regards,
Claudio
