<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" class="">Dear Members of the Rights Protection Measures Review Working Group:<o:p class=""></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"" class="">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 class=""></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"" class="">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 class=""></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"" class="">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 class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<b class=""><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" class="">It was in that spirit of mutual respect that we three engaged in a joint conference call on Friday, April 15<sup class="">th</sup> to discuss how to best facilitate a constructive path forward.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<b class=""><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" class="">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 class="">st</sup>.

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" class="">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 class=""></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"" class="">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 class=""></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"" class="">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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" class="">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 class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%">
