I'm not suggesting we can rely on any of that, but where there's smoke, it behooves us to take some steps to figure out whether it's fire. One of the issues we have is whether anyone is systematically collecting evidence (which ties into the level of awareness about the PDDRP, since the availability of a forum is directly related to the value in putting together evidence that one might bring before such a forum. I have some understand that efforts may be made (or may be underway) to either find evidence collected elsewhere or to have a process that would examine the new gtld space to see what evidence there is. For better or worse, there's no obvious effort already underway to do this on a wholesale basis (though perhaps it should be part of one or more of the Reviews). We do have the efforts of Lori Schulman and Susan Kawaguchi noted by Mary above, which should be part of this discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Greg <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 10:16 AM, Phil Corwin <<a href="mailto:psc@vlaw-dc.com" target="_blank">psc@vlaw-dc.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Let me pose some questions here (and I do so without having yet reviewed the cases noted by Brian and Greg).</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>PDDRP was created to provide a mechanism by which a trademark holder (or possibly holders, in a consolidated action) could allege that a particular registry was directly responsible for infringement through its proactive conduct of either running a registry identical to a trademark in an infringing manner; or actively encouraging registrants at any gTLD (regardless of whether it matched a mark at the top level) to register infringing domains.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>I believe that the cases referenced below deal with conduct beyond that for which the PDDRP was designed to address, and deal with whether an intermediary (ISPs and web-based businesses in the cases, registries for our purposes) had a duty to at least not to turn a blind eye to ongoing infringement, and perhaps even to actively monitor activity in the space they controlled and intervene against it when found.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>If I am correct on that then it is being suggested that we consider an expansion of the type of conduct meant to be addressed by the PDDRP.</span></u><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> I’m not against considering that, but just want to be clear that this is the logical outcome of reviewing these cases.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>As a matter of history, why was the PDDRP limited to the defined types of bad conduct and, in particular, why was willful blindness excluded?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Finally, it seems to me that if we are to discuss any possible expansion of the scope of registry conduct against which an altered PDDRP might be directed them we have a responsibility to identify actual significant infringing conduct occurring at some number of new registries, and to date I have not seen any documentation for that proposition.
