<p style="margin-left:.5in">Hi Brian,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Respectfully, when Phil surveyed our
community for support, both proposals - the Shatan
<b>and </b>the Muskovitch/Kleiman Proposal -- had
considerable support. One had deeper support (within one SG).
One had broader support, across a range of SGs and members,
including commercial, noncommercial, registries and academics.
Both certainly met the standard of support that we have used
in other settings -- and we have moved proposals with far less
support out for public comment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">That said, if there is an interim
way that we can navigate on this call, great! If there is a
way to stop the Deloitte from extracting ordinary words and
letters from composite marks and entering them into the TMCH,
that seems to a joint and shared goal. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Quick recollection: we know from
questionnaires of the WG that TMCH/Deloitte's policy is to
pull ordinary words from composite marks (figurative,
stylized, design, word+design marks -- various terms used by
our various members). We also know from the Analysis Group
that the TMCH database includes some of the most common
dictionary terms and generic terms such as love, hotel and
one.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">However, I hear what you are saying
-- and wonder with you how can we protect current brand owners
and future brand owners (noting that future brand owners are
likely to use many ordinary and dictionary words in their
names)? Resolution of this design mark issue -- and its
questions -- is key. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks
very much Zak for this heads up that you are withdrawing
your “compromise proposal” given the lack of additional
interest in it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In
the interests of time, and personally (while I am certain
Phil and Kathy would agree), I want to say that it was
encouraging to hear that you and others attempted offline
to bring this together with other proposals (e.g.,
Greg’s).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Your
below withdrawal of course raises the question of where
this leaves us on the earlier “Kleiman / Muscovitch”
proposal, in particular given that the now-withdrawn
proposal was already an attempt to garner support for a
compromise on the earlier “Kleiman / Muscovitch” proposal.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">By
way of background, as was discussed during a call with
Staff and our WG liaisons (incoming and outgoing), we feel
we need to recognize when there may be diverging views and
that wide agreement on a compromise proposal may not be
possible (in which case alternate views can be recorded,
and public comments sought).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In
that light, have you (and Kathy) considered the
possibility – even if per your below message you still
support it – of also withdrawing the “Kleiman /
Muscovitch” proposal in advance of the call, or do you
nevertheless consider brief further discussion on that
would in the circumstances still be necessary and/or
useful (if only as a last attempt at compromise/to cover
this off)?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
