<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Philip Corwin:Hi Michelle. I am uncharacteristically early ;-)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Michelle DeSmyter:No worries - glad to have you! :) </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Michelle DeSmyter:Welcome Maxim!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):Hello Michelle, Philip</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):will type instead of using mic - it is 1AM </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):for me</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Michelle DeSmyter:Ouch - sounds good Maxim</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Hi folks.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Hi Everyeone</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:HI all. Happy holidays!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:@Phil, we have the redlined version ready. Let us know if you want us to change to it.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:We are at the bottom of page 5, for those who have just joined</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):reasonably priced to allow for protection of small local businesses?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Accessible = affordable?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I think affordable is too limiting</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:There may be other hinderances at play</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Agree with Kristine that affordable is too narrow a term</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Jeff Neuman:ease of use?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Agree that "access" would potentially include cost, as well as some of the things Phil mentioned such as language, etc.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:I think the TMCH is translated into more than 10 languages, see top right of <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.trademark-2Dclearinghouse.com_&d=DgIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=8_WhWIPqsLT6TmF1Zmyci866vcPSFO4VShFqESGe_5iHWGlBLwwwehFBfjrsjWv9&m=1p-wLHOV5DCxALcMKIaTstgQyEINmRDoebHBQWYQJis&s=qXnmVBiWu8fOKCHdoFLOa_tzbqLGG9qgUPIY3modHxY&e=">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.trademark-2Dclearinghouse.com_&d=DgIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=8_WhWIPqsLT6TmF1Zmyci866vcPSFO4VShFqESGe_5iHWGlBLwwwehFBfjrsjWv9&m=1p-wLHOV5DCxALcMKIaTstgQyEINmRDoebHBQWYQJis&s=qXnmVBiWu8fOKCHdoFLOa_tzbqLGG9qgUPIY3modHxY&e=</a></div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kurt Pritz:I think guidance for this question comes from the last prepositional clause: "in developing countries."</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Can we change ‘trademark owners’ to ‘rights holders’? Because it’s important to provide guidance for marks protected by statue and treaty as well as trademarks.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:The dictionary says accessible means: capable of being used, influenced, seen, understood, appreciated. I think that word is fine.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:usable?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:Agree with Paul's replacement to rights holders</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Agree we should keep to "accessible"</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kurt Pritz:Maybe revese the sentence: Can those in developing countries readily access trademark clearinghouse services (as compared to other regions)?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kathy Kleiman:Why would we change trademark owners to rights holders?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:No objection to "rights holders"</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:to include 6ter marks Kathy</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:On 4.1, note the Sub Team suggestion to share the WG findings on this with the New gTLD SubPro WG.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:I like the term "confidential"</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Petter Rindforth:confidential seems better describe what we mean</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:I think we all understand closed = confidential</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Laurie Anderson:Closed seems to be misleading to the general public</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kathy Kleiman:Tx Paul</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Jeff Neuman:Competition affects cost; bringing the costs down could increase use and effectiveness</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:5.1 is about costs. One alternative to multiple providers is to have regular competitive tenders.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:Although I think TMCH competition is rather impractical, I feel it shoudl be opened up as a matter of principle</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:If that's the case, then I suggest that costs will come out of our investigation as an issue. I'm sure we'll get data on that. And if cost is a problem, then I think
competition is a valid solution.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Jeff Neuman:I offer no opinion on the question of who should address :)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Jeff Neuman:I will only offer the opinion that this group has the relevant expertise to understand the TMCH and the implications of having multiple providers. Looking at the membership of this PDP WG we have a
lot of trademark owners and users of the TMCH. So to me it makes sense to be here.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:Hasn't Deloitte actually lost money on its TMCH operation?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Is CCT looking into this issue?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:Hi, I would point out that the WG suggested 2 alternative options for language on this</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:Several WG members have expressed a preference for Option 2.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Jon Nevett:@Steve -- we alone paid them about $1M -- can't believe that they have lost $</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:ICANN paid them too!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Hollywood accounting? :-)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:old hand</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:I would support a further revised version of Cat 5 Q 1: “Taking into consideration cost, reliability, global reach, diversity of services, consistency, and other possible factors, would it be desirable
and practical to have more than one provider for the TMCH services? Why or why not?” </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Proposal 2 focuses on the question: </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Proposal 2 focuses on the question: "what is the problem" rather than suggesting a list....</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:I prefer 2</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:I also voted for Proposal 2</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:aha, for reasons Kristine is giving</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:I prefer the open-endedness of 2</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kurt Pritz:I prefer 1 as it delineates issues</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Petter Rindforth:I support Griffins suggested version</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Proposal 2 wording seems to presuppose that there are concerns with a single provider of TMCH services, that's my only concern about that formulation</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Griffin, people from the community came up with this question, so it's safe to assume SOMEONE thinks there's a problem. :)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Vinzenz Heussler:Griffin Barnett combined 1 and 2 rather clever</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Mary has her hand up</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I'm not following that - visual learner. Can someone capture Phil's most recent suggestion in writing?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kathy Kleiman:I like Phil's compromise wording</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kurt Pritz:@ Mary - we are perilously close to agreement - cmonsensus</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Vinzenz Heussler:it's in the agenda/notes on the right side, isn't it</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kurt Pritz:@ Mary "consensus"</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Fine with the latest compromise wording</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):Sometimes hard for notes on right to keep up with speedy speakers</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Does the current single operator nature of the TMCH optimize operational considerations as cost, reliability, global reach, and service diversity and consistency, or should significant changes
be considered? </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:@Kurt -- I thought "cmonsensus" was intentionally clever</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Proposal 4 was Phil's right?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I support that.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:Proposal 3 was from Griffin, Proposal 4 is Phil's suggestion</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:thanks Mary, Santa better be kind to you...</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Laurie Anderson:Supporting Proposal 4</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Lillian Fosteris:I like Proposal 4</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Agree you can remove "Why or why not" from my proposal -- it is implied by the initial question</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:I count 14 in favor of Proposal 4</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Are we not taking this out to other members of the WG? I misunderstood perhaps - thought the straw poll was going out to the list?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:@Heather, we will send out a note highlighting that this is the proposed final set of TMCH Charter questions</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Vinzenz Heussler:costs proportionate to benefits?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):have we seen a single review of TMCH activities from financial perspective?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):it sounds like proportionate among those three</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):icann, rights holders, and community</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Should list more stakeholders, e.g. registries, registrars, registrants, etc.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Chris Thomas:proportional?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:+1 George</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Lillian Fosteris:+1 Georege</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Lillian Fosteris:George*</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):+1 George</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:Agree George but I think that;'s intended by community</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):I agree then with the idea of listing registries, registrars, registrant</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Should we split the question into multiple parts to encourage a reply on each stakeholder?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Support</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:If they're part of "community", then they might get diluted by 1/3rd.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):registrants are part of conmunity as well</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:We got it, Phil</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:e.g. TM owners weighted equally as registrars, equally as registries, equally as registrants, is not the same as "TM Owners equal with registries PLUS registrars PLUS registrants".</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):then I suggest we specify registries, rars, registrants</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):maybe "fairly balanced" instead of proportionate - not sure what proportionate means</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):i have no audio this evening - glitch going on here, sorry</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:@David I think it was proportionate between costs and benefits</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):by audio I meant mic</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):ok thanks Paul</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:+1Kristine</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:@DavidM: might want to use the telephone connection (it's more reliable).</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):like it Phil but use among instead of between</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:rather than name them and perhaps miss someone, can we say 'all of the relevant stakeholders'?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:That new alternative language looks fine to me.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):sorry Goerge - one with a higher power (at home now) has phone right now and i forgot cell in office</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):George, that is</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Very much agree Susan</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):Thanks Susan, that makes sense – I was not part of subteam and do not have that history on this and so appreciate the point you make</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:Yes. I would say registries get the least benefit from having to use the TMCH, but is the cost to us proportionate to what the rights holders are getting?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):sounds good</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I like reasonably proportionate.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:Are we talking about costs and benefits, or advantages and disadvantages?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I think they're understood to be the same.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:the original question was benefits and costs</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kathy Kleiman:+1</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:OK, thanks</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I hear a chorus of angels.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):i can hear it too - quite nice</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:Will do, Phil.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:hurrah!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kathy Kleiman:Congratulations All!</div>

<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Petter Rindforth:We are the best!!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:So it's really only 2 pages or so.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:I vote that we bail.</div>

<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):agreed Phil, makes sense</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kiran Malancharuvil:Thanks!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Griffin Barnett:Happy to reserve this until next time</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:happy. it's 10.50 here the week before xmas</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):could we use doodle poll?</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:04:00 UTC = 20:00/ PT, 23:00/ET, 04:00 London, 05:00 CET, 15:00 Sydney, 12:00 Beijing</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Kristine Dorrain - Amazon Registry Services:the registries</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:Thanks very much for keeping the time within decent hours for APAC</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):with RySG .. now it is not a conflict</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Maxim Alzoba (FAITID):nice ... it is going to be 7.am instead of 1am :)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:04:00 UTC on Thursday? (so that we are still on Wednesday night in Toronto/New York)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> susan payne:well I understand and support the reason for doing so - but I won't be on a call at 4am. Id love to see some calls that work foir aspac, ME and europe but are less good for US</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Or is it 04:00 UTC on Wednesday? (meaning that we are instead on Tuesday in North America???)</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:To Susan's point, it does seem that Europe and APAC are normally the time compromisers. That said, most participants are in North America, but maybe this is a chicken-egg problem</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:@Heather, yes - so one way we are trying to accommodate all of this is to do this as one rotation out of four</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Heather Forrest:@ Mary, that sounds practical</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:Question to Staff: Would it be possible to make the document window wider and move the Agenda/Notes window down making it the same height as the chat window? As this would make it easier to read
wider/table formatted documents without having to horizontal scroll so often</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:We should decide the date, too (Wednesday vs. Thursday UTC, i.e Tuesday vs. Wednesday in North America), on the list.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Mary Wong:@Paul, I will ask - but I believe it is fixed</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Paul Tattersfield:thanks Mary</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> George Kirikos:Bye everyone. Great work in 2016....looking forward to 2017.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Michelle DeSmyter:January 4th </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Steve Levy:Have a great holiday and New Years everyone!</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"> David McAuley (RySG):Thanks all, best wishes</div>
