Members of the Rights Protection Measures Review Working
Group:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As
the three candidates for WG leadership positions who have
received substantial support from WG members, we wish to
collectively thank all of you for committing to the very
challenging and lengthy journey that lies before us, and for
voicing support for us as potential WG Chairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Each
of us believes that our task is extremely important, and
that whatever consensus recommendations this WG makes for
post-review alterations in the new gTLD RPMs, and
subsequently the UDRP, will if adopted likely be the “rules
of the road” for ICANN trademark protection measures for
many years to come. We have the collective opportunity to
establish improved arbitration procedures and other
safeguards that are more predictable and consistent for all
parties, and that minimize the burden on trademark holders
while recognizing the importance of domains as platforms for
speech and commerce and as valuable intangible assets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We
also believe that the odds of success will be substantially
improved if this WG operates from its inception in a
collegial and cooperative manner that, while maximally
efficient, is committed to a balanced and fair hearing for
all viewpoints, and is based upon empirical data and sound
legal and policy analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<b><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It
was in that spirit of mutual respect that we three engaged
in a joint conference call on Friday, April 15<sup>th</sup>
to discuss how to best facilitate a constructive path
forward.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<b><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As
a result of that discussion, we wish to propose for your
consideration the adoption of a leadership structure in
which each of us serves as a co-equal Co-Chair. We
collectively urge you to support that approach to
leadership structure when we hold our first WG meeting on
April 21<sup>st</sup>.
<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We
believe that in most instances we shall be able to reach
consensus agreement regarding recommendations to you on the
management of our work. In those (hopefully rare) instances
where we fail to reach such agreement, we shall inform the
membership of our different viewpoints and proceed in
whatever manner garners consensus support.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We
are also in general agreement that portions of the task
before us can best be facilitated by the creation of focused
subgroups that will provide additional leadership
opportunities for other members of this WG, with each of the
Co-Chairs acting as an Ex Officio member of all subgroups in
order to monitor their efforts and assist in coordination
with our overall work plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If
selected as co-equal Co-Chairs, we shall immediately set to
develop an initial work plan for your consideration so that
we can begin engaging in substantive RPM review by the early
part of May.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It
is our collective goal to develop final reports and
recommendations that are consistent with the
responsibilities established by this WG’s Charter – and that
every member of this WG can be proud of having a role in
shaping.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Again,
we thank you for your support and look forward to joining
with you on our initial WG call this coming Thursday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
