<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">On this point, what we are really talking about mostly is sunrise registrations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">If we had seen evidence that TM owners were making sunrise registrations for descriptive/dictionary words across dozens or hundreds of new gTLDs, and thereby denying an opportunity for others
to acquire such useful domains in land rush or general availability periods, I might be convinced that some limitation might be warranted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">However, what we have found instead is that for a variety of reasons (pricing; availability of blocking services; adopting a strategy of active monitoring of DN registrations and selective use
of UDRP/URS) is that sunrise registrations are substantially below expectations. Given that fact, as well as the administrative burden of creating a system that would be required to determine which particular gTLDs “related to the categories of goods and services
in which the dictionary term(s) within a trademark are protected”, and the potentially subjective nature of such determinations, I would not favor the proposed limitation. And I agree that we had a robust and comprehensive discussion of this matter in our
F2F meeting in Copenhagen and that prolonging it is unlikely to alter viewpoints.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Please note that these views relate only to the TMCH under the present registration rules, and that I might well favor such limitations if we permitted variations of trademarks that were not
trademarks in themselves to be registered in the TMCH. I do not favor such expansion as I believe that the main value of the TMCH is that it is a database of registered marks satisfying certain qualitative standards. I also see no rationale to accord trademark
holders sunrise registration rights in terms that are not trademarks. And the generation of TM Claims Notices to prospective registrants in such non-TM terms would further discourage legitimate registrations intended for non-infringing purposes. If we accept
that the receipt of a TM Claims Notice has a salutary effect in discouraging domain registrations intended to be infringing (and if that is not the case then there is little reason to continue generating such notices to prospective registrants), I think we
must also recognize that such receipt is also deterring non-infringing registrations by unsophisticated potential registrants, especially given the very high abandonment rate documented by the Analysis Group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Summing up, on these issues I am pretty much in favor of maintaining the status quo.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thanks for this Mary,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It is noted that more discussion is recommended for item 11 which states: “Should the scope of the RPMs associated with the TMCH be limited to apply only to TLDs that are related
to the categories of goods and services in which the dictionary term(s) within a trademark are protected”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">While not seeking to stifle further discussion, WG members will recall that this issue was discussed at great length in Copenhagen, and it seemed clear that there was no possibility
of achieving consensus on such proposed limitations, for a number of articulated reasons.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Merely to recall two obvious examples raised in Copenhagen:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">(i)</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">what limitations to the categories of goods and services would apply to TLDs such as “.web” or “.online” or “.fun”? and
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">(ii)</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">this proposed limitation would unfairly impact a brand owner such who had submitted a mark to the TMCH in one class but who also had valid marks in other classes which for various reasons
had not been submitted to the TMCH, e.g., the mark APPLE in Class 9 for downloadable music and Class 45 for social services (US Reg Nos 3317089 and 1071006 respectively)).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Therefore, the WG co-chairs may wish to consider whether further discussion on this topic is in fact warranted.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Finally, since the chart references the EFF letter, it is worth mentioning here that the fact that a trademark owner may pay (sometimes extremely high amounts) to defensively
register a domain name exactly matching its trademark in a Sunrise process (and thereby taking it “off the market”) does not prevent free expression, which may be undertaken in countless other ways. The number of terms that may be appended to a trademark
(not to mention typos) to engage in all manner of speech – fair or otherwise – is, practically-speaking, all but limitless. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
