[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] CONSENSUS CALL on the WG's Recommendations and Remaining Options

[Paul Tattersfield]

Quite frankly this consensus vote is beyond parody because:

(a) Swaine should have been removed from the final report before this vote
was called
(b) There should have been a narrowing of the options prior to any final
consensus call

It has been known for some time that clearly Option #3 has little support
outside of the co-chairs and it was quite clear that it should never have
been in the final consensus call. Swaine is clearly wrong and this vote
indicates that most people probably accept that too, even if those who have
led the working group do not have the good grace to accept it.

On recommendation #5

I support  options #1,  #4 , #6

I do not support #2, #3, #5



On Recommendattion #2

I agree with George the recent changes to the wording are unacceptable. I
too would also phrase the relevant sentence as follows:

"An IGO may consider this to be an option where it does not have registered
trademark rights or service mark rights in its name or acronym (as
applicable) but believes it has certain unregistered trademark or service
marks rights for which it might adduce….."

I can live with recommendations #1, #3, #4

The whole final report needs substantive revision, if those leading the
working group had had any respect for anyone other than themselves we could
have produced a far more professional report, and not squandered so much of
everyone's time. I fear for the RPM working group achieving anything of
value once the issues start to get more involved, especially given the way
those leading this working group have behaved and that fact that the key
protagonists are also dominant in that group.
