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

[Lucie LAPLANTE]

Dear Berry,

Thank you very much for this. Just one point of clarification from my side - as IFRC General Counsel: National Societies are not created by IFRC. They are legal entities created under national law, and later on admitted as a member of the IFRC.

Best regards,
Lucie Laplante
General Counsel

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.
