[council] Current draft of Fadi's requested communication from council

[john at crediblecontext.com]

Volker,


I will not argue with your metaphor -- I am quite fond of apples.  But I do quibble with you saying the strawman is "an expansion of the rights of a trademark holder in the domain world."  Trademark rights exist (not always consistently) in all earthly realms.  The strawman is not seeking to create new ones, merely to create a method by which those that already exist can be enforced.


Cheers,


Berard

I think Fadi has made it very clear during the meeting in Amsterdam that he has now understood the BC and IPC requests that led to the strawman as a second bite of the apple, as he called it. The proposed contents of the strawman would certainly constitute an expansion of the rights of a trademark holder in the domain world. I therefore support sending the draft letter as is.

Mason,


Did I not suggest the "expansion of rights" language is a bit over the top?

Council colleagues --
 
 As you know, Fadi requested of the council its input regarding the strawman proposal resulting from the BC's and IPC's request for additional RPMs in new gTLDs. On December 27, I circulated an early draft of a council reply.
 
 The communication is due very shortly, and has been taken up by a small group within the council to ensure that all points of view are represented. Because this is an agenda item for our meeting this week, at Maria Farrell's helpful suggestion, I'm sending the current draft to council so we can be prepared to discuss it then. This draft does not reflect additional input of the BC and IPC -- if this is provided prior to the meeting, I'll be happy to forward it to the council.
 
 Thanks --
 
 Mason
