[Gnso-igo-ingo] Reconvened WG - Red Cross Society Names Protections - Update

Wed Apr 25 13:29:58 UTC 2018

Dear Berry, dear Thomas,

Thank you for your message.

Was the agreement not, during the last ConfCall, that the list of National 
Societies' names and the GNSO Working Group's draft Report and decision, 
would be released for public comment asap and then discussed at ICANN 62.

I went back to the transcript of the last ConfCall, but some parts may be 
missing. It does quote Heather however as saying that "[i]n its recent 
meeting in Los Angeles, the GNSO Council undertook strategic planning for 
the year and raised the question as to whether this reconvened PDP could 
be wound up by mid-year".

Would it not be better, subject to the confirmation of the list of 
National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' names by the WG at its 
upcoming 10 May session, to aim for the Report to be presented, and for 
the GNSO Council's determination to be made, end June in Panama?

Thanks for your thoughts and kind regards,

Stéphane

Many thanks, Berry and Thomas, for your continued hard work here. 

I particularly appreciate the detailed timeline, and the efforts already 
expended to meet it.

Best wishes,

Hi All,

I wanted to provide you an update on the Reconvened WG effort regarding 
the protection of Red Cross National Society names.

In consultation with the Red Cross representatives, they have provided an 
update that they are on target for the end of April to complete the 
definitive list of identifiers (193 orgs) to be considered for reservation 
protection.  You will recall at our last session they provided examples of 
12 National Societies where there was general agreement on the variations 
and the parameters that define those variations.  In parallel, staff has 
started drafting the WG’s report that will outline the background of this 
issue, the WG’s deliberations, and proposed recommendations.  The intent 
is to have both deliverables ready for review by the WG at our next 
meeting.

Shortly, you will see a calendar invite for 10 May 2018 at 14:00 UTC for 
90 minutes.  At this session, we will first review the definitive list and 
deliberate on issues, if any.  We will also review the draft report.  The 
following is a proposed timeline to complete this effort.  Staff and 
Thomas realize this will be a challenging time given the competition with 
GDPR efforts, but this group has committed to conclude at the end of 
June.  As you will see, assuming the WG achieves consensus and no 
frictions with GDPR, this effort will may be behind schedule around 
mid-July.  The WG can consider having a shorter comment period of 30 days 
given the reduced scope of this issue, but the WG should consider the 
balance of the 40 day rule versus delivering on time.  We’re happy to have 
members thoughts on the mailing list in the meantime.

Proposed timeline:
·         10 May: WG Meeting
·         18 May: Launch Public Comment proceeding for 40 days
·         25 June: Start of ICANN61 – Staff has not planned on having a 
session at the meeting, at best an update to the Council
·         27 June: Close of Public comment
·         05 July: WG Meeting to review comments (don’t anticipate a ton 
of comments)
·         13 July: Submit Report to Council

Thank you for your time, and please submit your thoughts/comments on the 
mailing list.
