<p class="MsoNormal">Dear fellow WG members, I note that URS Final Recommendation #3 was incorporated into the draft Report as per our recent deliberations;

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <b><span style="color:black">URS Final Recommendation #3</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:black">The Working Group recommends that the URS Rules be amended to incorporate in full Rule #11 of the UDRP Rules regarding “Language of Proceedings”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also note that URS Final Recommendation #4 appears to now refer to having the URS Notice of Complaint be in the language of the Registration Agreement as opposed to the predominant language of the registrant:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<b><span style="color:black">URS Final Recommendation #4</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
<span style="color:black">The Working Group recommends that the URS Rule 4(b) and URS Procedure para 4.2 be amended to require the Provider to transmit the Notice of Complaint to the Respondent in English and translate it into the language of the Registration
Agreement. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On one hand this can be viewed as consistent with Recommendation #3 (above), but on the other hand I am uncertain whether WG’s resolution was to cease translating the actual Notice into the predominant language, or to continue to do so
but have the subsequent proceeding be in the language of the registrant agreement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe this is something worth discussing on our next call if there is sufficient interest amongst the WG members and time to do so.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Attached please find my proposed edits to the Background section of our report. We had a little more interaction with the EPDP report than noted -- and went past the summary
wave table to the actual EPDP recommendations to determine that there was no conflict between them and our WG recommendations. I've proposed revisions to the background text to show this process with the steps involved. As a WG, we certainly did our due diligence
on this important task!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
