<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We talked about this at some length on one of our calls. This is not how we did it for the URS and TM-PDDRP. Those were all done in implementation, not in policy. Here are the Policy outputs for the first round:

https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm</a>. No mention of URS or TM-PDDRP. Those were implemented as a result of the ideas of the IRT as refined by the STI. The were not PDP policy and, like those, there is nothing that
would keep an IRT from exploring a third party challenge mechanism. The idea may be scrapped by the WG, but if it is it should be scrapped for accurate reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Thank you, Mary, Ariel, and Julie,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Below are my comments regarding the draft Final Report language for Sunrise Recommendation 2, as well as the small
team’s additional proposed draft language proposing an independent enforcement mechanism. I raised these issues on the Registries Stakeholder Group call two days ago and used that discussion to help inform my comments. But these comments are personal and not
officially on behalf of my employer or of the RySG. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">First, with respect to the Final Report language on Sunrise Recommendation #2 and the original implementation guidance,
I fully support the addition of the word ‘intentionally’ in the Recommendation prior to the word “circumventing”. A registry operator should not face potential enforcement action for unintended consequences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Further, I believe that the implementation guidance language needs to be tightened up to clarify that the “Discriminatory
pricing practices” referenced at the second bullet listing non-exhaustive examples of practices that may circumvent an RPM means discriminating against a trademark holder in the sunrise period via extremely high premium pricing, followed by a much lower subsequent
land rush or GA price that has resulted in bad faith registration and subsequent infringing use by registrants other than the mark holder. The sunrise registration RPM is meant to give a mark holder first opportunity to register a domain corresponding to
its exact mark to prevent its bad faith registration and use by a cybersquatter, but that must be balanced against the fact that many trademarks consist of generic dictionary words that have inherent value and can be used by other potential registrants in
a non-infringing manner, justifying a substantial premium price.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Further, the premium price level in and of itself cannot be sole basis for a Compliance enforcement action as that
would violate the “picket fence” that prohibits GNSO policy from prescribing or limiting the pricing of registry services. As this type of price discrimination leading to subsequent infringement will only become evident after the sunrise registration period
has ended, the IRT will need to give consideration as to what appropriate enforcement against such registry operation practices should consist of.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Second, I oppose the additional implementation guidance language from Small Team 2. While I applaud the team for
its efforts, I cannot support a new enforcement mechanism wholly separate from ICANN Compliance. In my opinion, this is very far from the idea that went out to public comment – the idea of revising a registry agreement provision for future new gTLDs to elevate
the general requirement on a registry to implement applicable policies to a specific requirement to refrain from circumventing new gTLD RPMs. The proposal would give to the IRT unchecked and inappropriate policy-making discretion to create a new enforcement
mechanism absent any showing that the implementation of Sunrise Recommendation #2 will be insufficient to curb suspect practices. Further, the PDDRP is already available against a registry operator who encourages infringing second level registrations, and
the recommendation we have agreed upon to allow unrelated rights holders to bring a combined PDDRP action against a registry operator will make it easier to demonstrate a pattern of intentional circumvention of the sunrise RPM resulting in harm to them. It
seems to me that if this additional language is added to the existing language and perfected implementation guidance, then there will be a strong possibility that the entire Sunrise Recommendation #2 will end up lacking consensus support and not proceed to
Council.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
