<p>All, <br>
</p>
<p>Important arguments, issues and concerns have been made on both
sides of this question. There are arguments in favor of the
confidentiality of the TMCH Database. There are certainly
arguments that been made in favor of the openness of the TMCH
Database, including:</p>
<p>- that it was originally open (that's what the GNSO Council and
ICANN Board passed)</p>
<p>- that a key rationale for keeping the TMCH database open and
searchable by 3rd parties was to allow a level of self-policing by
registrants -- to allow them to better understand the Trademark
Claims notices they might be receiving<br>
</p>
<p>- that for noncommercial organizations and SMEs trying to name
new groups, services and products, the ability to search the TMCH
Database entries <i>ahead of time </i>to know what goods and
services those trademarks protect is part of a due diligence, good
faith search<br>
</p>
<p>- that there might be gaming in the Sunrise Period, the TM Claims
and Private Protections using the TMCH Database in ways it was not
intended for purposes and protections it was not intended to
provide.</p>
<p>We have decided to table this question -- Question #15 -- until <i>after</i>
the RPM evaluation. That time period should allow us to evaluate
the range of issues, questions, options and alternatives being
discussed very quickly on this list. <br>
</p>
<p>Quick note that the time will allow our wonderful Staff to
summarize the questions, issues, options, alternatives and
resolutions being shared so rapidly on this list for Question #15
-- so that all Members and Observers of this WG have the time to
evaluate and provide input. <br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

explained why the data in the TMCH is confidential, Paul.
Access to that data won’t show you the “abuse” you believe
you may find: it will simply show you a list of the marks
that a brand owner has paid to record in the TMCH. Why do
you want to know that, please? That list doesn’t show you
any form of abusive, or benign, behaviour – it’s a lis, .<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a heads up. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

understand your repeated claims that you need access to this
data to find “abuse”. In cases where there are questionable
base marks, there are cancellation proceedings before IPOs.
There are means to dispute a Sunrise allocation. Receiving a
Claims Notice doesn’t stop you registering a DN. And taking
a case in bad faith, or against bad faith, is always an
option.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Actually
it touches on the point here. If you are going to make
various arguments of alleged abuse in support of
claimed transparency, then it would it is relevant to
know whether you are supporting a lack of transparency
in the whois side of things where abuse has been
rampant. While the TMCH and Whois are different
animals a number of the arguments being made here to
support transparency have actually been mirrored in
the other context and rejected by those seeking
opacity. And one major difference between the two
situations is that there is widespread evidence of
abuse of the whois system whereas here in the TMCH
context you do not have evidence of a widespread abuse
of the TMCH by brand owners. Nevertheless, you and
others persist on wanting to conduct a fishing
expedition under the guise of so called "transparency"
to try and find some alleged widespread harm that
simply does not exist. To many folks on the other side
of the aisle, it appears that this is not about
transparency but more about some effort to gut
existing protections and to obtain the release of
confidential information of brand owners as to what
they did or did not register. Perhaps this may not
be the intent, but we all know that once that
information is out the gaming will really begin.
Again, perhaps there are tweeks that could be made to
improve the current system, but there is no real basis
for undertaking the broad review that is being sought
and certainly not for undoing the entire existing
system.<br>
