[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Agenda for WG meeting this week and NEW draft Deliberations section of WG Initial Report

[Phil Corwin]

Thank you for these documents, Mary.

To reprise some decisions made on today’s WG call:

·         On our next call of December 8th we are aiming to complete and approve the revised draft of Section 6 and to perhaps do the same, or at least get very close, in regard to the new draft of Section 4. Therefore, all WG members are asked to review those attachments and forward any comments and proposed revisions to the WG email list no later than Tuesday, 12/6 in order to give staff sufficient time to prepare new versions for the 12/8 call.

·         On the 12/15 call we will wrap up work on Section 4 (if not already done) and review other “boilerplate” report sections that shall be forthcoming from staff over the next two weeks.

·         Depending on the state of our work and holiday considerations, we will meet one final time this year on either 12/22 or 12/29. The aim for that meeting is to approve the final draft of the Preliminary Report and publishing it for public comment.

·         Presuming that the draft is published for comment in early January, the 40 day comment period will end in mid-February. If a significant number of public comments are received prior to the end of the comment period we may hold an interim WG meeting to review and discuss those comments. Following the close of the comment period we will hold several meetings to consider them and discuss any proposed adjustments to the document. While recognizing that it may not be feasible, we will aim to publish a Final report just prior to the Helsinki meeting. If that is not possible then we anticipate publication of the Final Report in the late March to mid-April timespan.

Let me know if you have any comments or questions. Please take some time over the next few days to carefully review Sections 4 and 6 – our wok is almost done and we aim to publish the highest quality document possible on this complex subject.

Thanks and best regards,
Philip

Subject: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Agenda for WG meeting this week and NEW draft Deliberations section of WG Initial Report

Dear all,

The proposed agenda for our Working Group meeting this Thursday is as follows:


1.       Roll call and updates to Statements of Interest

2.       Review of discussions at ICANN57 – GAC Communique and WG open session

3.       Confirm WG comments in draft Initial Report concerning its review of the IGO Small Group Proposal

4.       Confirm intended date of publication of Initial Report and other milestones leading to the Final Report

5.       Any other business

For #2, here is the link to the GAC Communique: https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/27132037/GAC%20ICANN%2057%20Communique.pdf?version=6&modificationDate=1478668059355&api=v2, and to the transcript of the Working Group session at ICANN57: http://schd.ws/hosted_files/icann572016/c3/Transcript%20IGO-INGO%20CRP%20Hyderabad%2007%20Nov%202016.pdf. We note that a link to the slides that were used at that WG session had been circulated previously (see below).

In addition, for #2, WG members may wish to consider the question that was raised by the representative of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) who attended the WG open session: “whether [standing kicks in at the time that a notification is submitted to WIPO or whether it kicks in once it's disseminated to all of the Paris Convention member countries and whether they decide whether or not to reject or not reject that notification.”

For #3, please find attached an initial draft of what will be Section 4 (Deliberations of the PDP Working Group) of our Initial Report (where Section 6 – which we have been discussing – contains our Preliminary Recommendations). As noted previously, Section 4 complements Section 6 by providing both the process background and related narrative to the actual text of the preliminary recommendations.

For purposes of the call this week, staff suggests a focus on Section 4.4 (where the process background and the WG’s conclusions on the Small Group Proposal are described and tabulated).

We are also attaching a clean copy of the latest version of Section 6, updated following the last WG call before ICANN57. Please note that in the interests of getting the draft Deliberations document out to everyone as soon as we could, staff has not yet done a full sweep through the Section 6 document to spot overlaps and gaps.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Dear all,

Thanks and cheers
