[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Any update on Swaine report?

[Phil Corwin]

George:



Thanks for your inquiry.



Here's the state of play--

·         Last week we received a draft from Prof. Swaine. The draft was incomplete in that it did not yet contain conclusions. It is quite comprehensive on the interface of sovereign immunity and IGOs and demonstrates that this area is not fully developed or uniform, that a great deal of discretion is left to individual nations to determine the scope of recognized immunity, and that some considerations argue for waiver in the UDRP context as being acceptable, while others may lead to a contrary conclusion.

·         Due to travel schedules, the first time that Petter and I had a chance to discuss the draft with ICANN staff was yesterday. We are seeking to schedule a call with Prof. Swaine later this week if at all possible to raise various questions and issues as well as to determine what his preliminary conclusions are..

·         Our hope is to get a more complete draft distributed to all WG members as soon as possible, and certainly prior to the Marrakech meeting. Once we speak with Prof. Swaine we will schedule a WG call for either February 24 or March 2 (I depart for Marrakech on March 3) to prepare for our Marrakech meeting.

·         At our meeting in Marrakech, we intend to seek comments on the draft from all WG members, as well as from IGOs and GAC members. (Staff-do we as yet have a time and date for our WG meeting?) Following Marrakech we intend to move forward expeditiously on our work using the report as a basis for determining our course.

Let me know if you have any additional questions at this time.



Best regards, Philip

I just wanted to followup and see how things are progressing. If we don't get the draft Swaine report soon, then that means we're looking at sometime in March for our next teleconference? (i.e. there's no meeting tomorrow, and it wouldn't make sense to have a meeting next Wednesday unless the report was provided before the weekend, so folks can digest it and have informed comments/discussions).



Sincerely,
