All,

 

My apologies.  The 14th of December is a Thursday, not Wednesday as I noted
below.

 

Thank you.

Subject: [Gnso-igo-ingo] Agenda - Reconvened IGO-INGO Protections PDP
Working Group (Red Cross) - 14 December 2017 @ 18:00 UTC

 

Dear all,

 

Please find below the proposed agenda for the next Working Group call
(scheduled for Wednesday 14 December at 18:00 UTC).  As a part of the agenda
review, please also review the attached files from the representatives of
the Red Cross and staff.  These were discussed at the informal session in
Abu Dhabi and we will review these again for the benefit of the entire
group.  Both are examples to facilitate discussions for defining the finite
list of identifiers to receive reservation protections as per the GNSO
Council resolution and to also develop a formula for future changes as new
National Societies are created by the IFRC.  

 

Attachments:

1.       rcrc_list_example.pdf - As noted in a prior email, this was created
by staff to provide a template of what the final output should look like for
the finite list of identifiers.  It in no way presupposes the final
determinations of this group.  This is based on principles from lessons
learned in implementing reservation protections for those recommendations
that were approved by the Board.  The principles are that the definitive
list be Reconcilable, Validated, and Free from Errors:

a.       Reconcilable - meaning that we clearly can articulate the 190
National Society names and their respective identifiers to be protected.
The rationale for this principle is that in implementing the identifiers
currently temporarily protected as a result of the Board resolution back in
2015, it was difficult for staff to determine whether the temporary list
matched that of the recommendation as adopted by the GNSO Council.  

b.      Validated - meaning that the definitive list is presented in a way
to easily determine that variants of official identifiers meet the criteria
of the reconvened group's recommendation (to be determined based on the
continued deliberations).  In implementing the temporary list, especially
for those Society names that only contained non-Latin identifiers, they
could not be matched back as being a part of one of the 189 (at the time)
Societies identified per the WG's original recommendation.

c.       Free from Errors - as a part of the first two principles, that the
listed identifiers are correct in their formal and usual names, especially
those where non-Latin identifiers are concerned.  In implementing the
temporary reservation list, staff was later alerted to a few errors detected
by Registry Operators.  For example, the Russian National Society name,
based on the list provided to staff, contained an error, where the generic
work of "society" was reserved and not the formal or usual name of the
National Society.

2.       ICANN mock-ups 4 December 2017.pdf -  This is an example provided
by the representatives of the Red Cross.  This is useful to help determine
what the exact definitive list could be including asked for variants of
usual names as based from formal names of the National Societies.  It will
also facilitate the development of a formula for when future National
Societies are created by the IFRC and added to the reservation list.  This
formula is critical, especially for ICANN, as to avoid misinterpretations as
to whether the new identifiers meet the exact criteria of the policy
recommendations from this group.

 

Session Notes from Abu Dhabi:

Agenda:

(0) Roll call, Agenda bash and SOI Updates

(1) Review final output example and mock-up example (attached PDFs)

(2) Discuss possible variants and formula to determine a finite list of
identifiers that will receive protection and formulate principles to define
the policy  

(3) Discuss next steps and possible timeline for completion of this effort

 

Thank you.
