<p class="MsoNormal">And is the additional system cost (one component of effectiveness) of individualized review of pricing worth this hypothetical increased risk of later infringement? If post-Sunrise registrations of expensive domain names have led to infringement,
 I hope we will be able to collect evidence of that. Likewise with the hypothetical effect of encountering an unregistered domain in a new gTLD. In an age of search engines, I thought we had gotten past the idea that a consumer would type in a domain name and
 then give up if no website, or a nonconfusing but non-trademark owner website, resolves. &nbsp;I also highly doubt there's evidence that consumers think less of a trademark owner for not registering every variation.&nbsp;<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would add that the question of pricing feeds into the concept of effectiveness, because if the TMCH is serving as a database for registries to target brand owners for higher pricing based on the value of their
 brands, then this is antithetical to the TMCH&#8217;s primary goal to provide protection for verified right holders. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hello, all.&nbsp; </span>On the last WG call, concerns about pricing of domain names during the Sunrise Period arose. This led to a question of whether pricing is within the remit of this WG &#8211; and the broader question
 of what the purpose of our TMCH review is.&nbsp; There seemed to be a desire to focus on the TMCH&#8217;s effectiveness. The predicate question, then, is: effectiveness at what?&nbsp; Here are some suggestions for discussion: (1) minimizing the cost of operating the system
 for all concerned; (2) minimizing the number of actions that ultimately need to be brought against infringing registrants; (3) minimizing the number of noninfringing registrants whose legitimate uses are blocked or deterred.&nbsp; If the system is reasonably balancing
 those objectives, I suggest, then it is effective; potential changes should be directly related to improving performance on one or more of these metrics without unduly hampering the others.<o:p></o:p></p>
