<p>Tx you for all the responses. Geographic indications, geographic
indicators and geographic names all seem to be subject to range of
uses - both ordinary definitions and terms of art. I think the
larger point is that people are putting into the TMCH Database
geographic terms that may have wide-ranging ramifications -
including becoming part of block lists. <br>
</p>
<p>We now have some evidence of actual cases and uses. I look
forward to exploring the ramifications, impacts, and perhaps
unintended consequences, with the Working Group.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">As discussed any
times before, a dictionary word or name of a place can have
a different meaning depending on the context. In some
contexts the word can have source indicative (i.e.,
trademark) meaning when used in connection with goods or
services unrelated to the word. In other contexts, the word
can have generic or descriptive meaning. For example, APPLE
has source indicating/trademark meaning when used in
connection with computers and devices, but generic or
descriptive meaning when used in connection with apples.
Similarly, “Rome” could be used as a geographic indicator
to refer to the city in Italy in one context or have source
indicating/trademark meaning in another, such as ROME
Furntiture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the example below says “registrants”, presumably the clams
notice did deter them from registering the names, which it
should not have if they are making a fair or descriptive use
of the names.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Others responded privately to share that they see geographic
terms and indicators in the TMCH Database - some of which are
coming from design/style/figurative marks (linking TMCH
charter questions 7 and 8). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Specifically, John Berryhill shares that registrants he works
with have received TM Claims Notices for:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As
discussed at the end of the Working Group call yesterday,
staff has begun to compile a table that combines the
agreed TMCH Charter questions with the relevant Working
Group follow up questions, Deloitte response (if any), and
(where applicable) input that was received from various
registry operators and the Registries Stakeholder Group
(note that the Registries SG is the only community group
so far that has provided us with a response to our initial
solicitation for input from all the various Supporting
Organizations, Advisory Committees and GNSO Stakeholder
Groups and Constituencies).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Attached
is the compilation we have done for TMCH Categories 1
(Education) and 2 (Verification and Updating of TMCH
Data). As Kathy and others noted on the call, not all
questions have direct responses, and in some cases we have
inserted what we thought might be relevant information
even if it is not an actual reply. Do let us know if you
spot any inaccuracies or omissions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We hope
you find the document useful. If we may, we suggest that
you review it with a view toward identifying the

note that we have not yet included any information from
the Analysis Group’s review of the TMCH, as we understand
that a Final Report will be forthcoming from them shortly,
and possibly before ICANN58. We will incorporate any
relevant data once the Final Report is out, and will in
the meantime continue working on a table for the remaining
TMCH Charter categories and questions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
