[gnso-rpm-wg] [Ext] RE: REMINDER FOR REVIEW: Revised Questions to URS Practitioners - Please Comment by Tuesday, 24 April

Tue Apr 24 19:45:18 UTC 2018

Scott,

Thank you for your comments.  They are noted.  

With respect to the footnotes, superscripts appear as follows (highlighted in yellow):

1.     Do you believe the current mechanisms for proving use in a URS case are adequate?[1]

Footnote: “Specify the trademark(s) or service mark(s) on which the complaint is based and the goods or services with which the mark is used including evidence of use – which can be a declaration and a specimen of current use in commerce - submitted directly or by including a relevant SMD (Signed Mark Data) from the Trademark Clearinghouse;” Section 3(v). The Complaint, at: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-28jun13-en.pdf; See also Section 1.2.6.1(a) and 8.1.2.1 at: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf 

6.     Do you believe the existing time frames for submitting filings in a URS proceeding are appropriate?[2]

Footnote: These are: 14 days for a response (including a right to request 7 days extension), seeking de novo review (from default) for up to six months plus an option to request an additional 6 months, and filing an appeal for up to 14 days after default or a determination.  See: The Procedure: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/procedure-01mar13-en.pdf and the Rules: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/urs/rules-28jun13-en.pdf.

Following the end of the deadline today for comments, staff will send to the WG a revised redlined document reflecting all of the comments and suggested edits, including the title and the introductory remarks provided previously by the Sub Team.

Kind regards,

Julie

Julie:

I am reluctant to dive back in with any more changes, but several items I believe are worth mentioning on the redline I received today.
The centered “title” of the document is really a heading intended for the first set of questions (which has no heading) and should be moved down to the left margin as an initial heading above the first question at a left justified location similar to the un numbered headings which follow (perhaps an A, B, C, outline format would be useful, but its in PDF so can’t insert.)
There are footnote texts at the bottom of pages 5 and 6 but I could not find the superscript notes to which they relate. 
Does the document have a title or do these questions just appear after the introductory remarks and caveat we created previously? Perhaps we should see the entire document in final. 

Best regards,

Scott
