[Gnso-igo-ingo] Table of National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' names - Reconvened WG - Red Cross Society Names Protections

Mon Apr 30 15:01:20 UTC 2018

Dear Berry, dear Thomas, 
Dear all,

As agreed during our last telephone conference of 15 February, please find 
attached a copy of the completed Table of National Red Cross and Red 
Crescent Societies' names.

This was prepared on the basis of the previously agreed criteria and 
conforms to the mock-up list we had submitted to the Reconvened Working 
Group earlier this year.

Safe for exceptional cases where this was not manageable, the attached 
list was prepared in close coordination and consultation with the 
respective National Societies.

Please note that, as previously discussed, some slight variations were 
introduced to the criteria where this was expressly requested and 
justified - 

e.g. in some rare cases, we included the words "red cross" or "red 
crescent" in the national language on their own (without the adjective 
indicating national affiliation) and thus, where the words "red cross" or 
"red crescent" constitute the commonly used name of the National Society 
(for instance, the words "Red Cross" in Swahili are included, as this is a 
name under which the Kenya Red Cross is commonly known and identified in 
Kenya: the words "Red Crescent" are included in Dari and in Pashto as this 
is the commonly used name of the Afghan Red Crescent in Afghanistan). In 
such instances, the English translation is inserted in the table in a 
yellow cell and is not proposed, as such, for protection/reservation.

Please note that in a number of cases, certain translations of the names 
in national languages could not be included due to the fact that they do 
not exist  (for instance, in the case of languages which do not make use 
of definite articles). In these cases, the concerned cells in official 
languages other than English were left blank.

Thank you for any questions or querries that you would have on the 
attached table.

With kind regards,

Stéphane

Names Protections - Update

Dear Stephane and everyone,

Depending on when the Working Group agrees on its recommendations that are 
to be published for public comment, that is when staff can go ahead and 
start the public comment period – and the timeline can be adjusted based 
on that date, if need be. However, please note that before the report is 
then submitted to the GNSO Council, the Working Group is obliged to review 
all public comments submitted (if any) and determine if any changes need 
to be made to its recommendations and/or report. Given that the deadline 
for documents for the Council’s consideration in Panama is 10 June, staff 
believes that it is highly unlikely that the final report can be submitted 
in time for the Council to consider it at its meeting in Panama.

For your information, the document deadline for the Council’s July 2018 
meeting is 9 July.

We hope this is helpful.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

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. 

B
