I think we need to divorce the question of (1) what goes into the Trademark Clearinghouse from (2) whether Geographical Indications as a category of Intellectual Property should be granted rights protection mechanisms.

We should deal with the first one now.  The first is addressed by both Paul and Kathy, though quite differently.

I believe that the second is within the scope of this WG, but should be discussed later, since it is not a question about the TMCH at all.

I am very sorry, but I can not attend today’s call.

Concerning both TMCH Q 7 & 8, I support that WG decides with an overarching approach having in mind that those questions have an impact on all other RPMs, being the TMCH a repository that supports those RPMs.

Kind regards.

Mary, all,

Thank you for the direction provided in your recent note.

With regards to GIs, our Charter, https://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/rpm-charter-15mar16-en.pdf, states the following:

"Examine the protection of country names and geographical indications, and generally of indications of source, within the RPMs."

In my view, this signifies that the issue of GIs is properly within scope, but if anyone feels differently I would encourage substantive feedback so we can resolve any alternative points of views on this subject.

On the basis of this charter objective, I suggest we: 1) add the consideration of GIs to the policy review of the Sunrise and Claims services; and 2) withhold final consideration of the current TMCH proposals relating to GIs, until we conclude the policy review of the new gTLD RPMs (as described in the Charter).

The Clearinghouse is a database designed to administratively support the RPMs across new gTLDs. When we conduct the policy review of the RPMs, we can assess the nature of the protections and assess whether any changes are needed to protect the rights of others, consistent with the GNSO policy recommendations on new gTLDs. The specific design of the Clearinghouse database, and the associated IP records contained therein, should be consistent with the outcome of that policy assessment.

I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Best regards,
Claudio

Apologies, that deadline for submission of proposals should (of course) be Wednesday 24 MAY 2017 (and not February!!!)

Sorry for any confusion,

Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] Deadline for proposals and agenda for the next Working Group call

Dear all,

On behalf of the Working Group co-chairs, this note is being sent to inform you that the co-chairs would like to bring the discussions on the various open questions relating to the TMCH to a close within a reasonable period of time. This will allow us to move on to the next part of Phase One of our work, which will be to review the Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs. As such, please note that the co-chairs are asking that any proposal you may wish to submit on the TMCH review – including any refinement of a previously-submitted proposal and especially relating to the ongoing discussion on design marks, GIs and expanding the “identical match” test – should be sent to this mailing list no later than Wednesday 24 February 2017.

For the next Working Group meeting, scheduled for Wednesday 17 May, here is the proposed agenda:

1.      Roll call (via Adobe Connect and phone bridge only); updates to Statements of Interest

2.      Progress reports from the chairs of the Sunrise and Trademark Claims Sub Teams

3.      Continue discussion of open TMCH questions:

•         Geographical Indications (with the opportunity for Jonathan Agmon or his designee to present his proposal, being the only proposal that has not yet been presented to the group at a meeting)

•         Expanding the “identical match” test

•         [if time permits Design marks

4.      Next steps/next meeting

Please note also that there will not be a Working Group meeting the following Wednesday, 24 May, since many Working Group members will be at the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
