that lies before us, and for voicing support for us as potential WG Chairs.</span></p>

<span class="" 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.</span></p>

<span class="" 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.</span></p>

<span class="" 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.</span></p>
