[Gnso-igo-ingo] Reconvened WG on Red Cross and Red Crescent Protections - follow-up comments

Thu Aug 2 16:27:40 UTC 2018

Dear Berry et al,

Thank you for today's phone Conference.

As agreed on the call, I am sharing herewith some suggestions

-       To Heather’s earlier text of reply: 

The WG respects the general principle of protecting the freedom of speech, 
and has given this serious consideration in the context of the finite and 
very limited nature of the list of protected names, being names 
corresponding to the official names of National Red Cross and Red Crescent 
Societies. This list was compiled by the International Red Cross and Red 
Crescent organisations and carefully reviewed by the WG and relevant 
supporting experts. The WG considers it unfortunate that these comments 
were not raised during the WG’s deliberations, and further that they did 
not take into account the extensive discussions that the reconvened WG has 
had to specifically ensure the legitimate basis for and finite nature of 
the list of protected names. On reflection the WG is confident that free 
speech considerations, whilst not raised during the reconvened WG’s 
discussions, have been adequately taken into account.

-       To the paragraph on page 13 
The Reconvened Working Group suggests that the International Committee of 
the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red 
Crescent Societies jointly notify the GAC, the GNSO and the ICANN Org of 
the process of formation and of recognition of a new National Society as a 
component of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and 
thus, so as to ensure that the relevant identifiers of the said Society in 
formation benefit from advanced protection and to thereby minimize the 
risk of front-running registration of such identifiers.  The Reconvened WG 
understands and acknowledges, however, that such a step is outside of 
ICANN’s remit and the scope of this policy process; as such, its adoption 
is purely dependent on the relevant internal processes of the 
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
It would indeed be valuable to add the names "Red Star of David" and "Red 
Star of David in Israel" (in English) to the table of identifiers and 
names for reservation - thus as the translation into English of the 
official and commonly used names the National Society of the Magen David 
Adom in Israel. 
We look forward to receiving the final version of the Motion and of its 
attachments for submission to the GNSO Council - for a final read.
Many thanks to all for your engagement and kind regards,
Stéphane

Following on Berry’s note below and the agenda for the Working Group call 
tomorrow, attached for your information is a draft motion for the GNSO 
Council to approve the final recommendations from this group following 
your review of the three public comments received (and assuming the group 
agrees on the final recommendations tomorrow). As is customary, staff 
anticipates that Heather (as the Council liaison to this Reconvened 
Working Group) will propose the motion to the Council before the deadline 
for the next Council meeting, i.e. Monday 6 August. Please note that as 
the proposer of the motion, Heather may wish to edit or amend the text of 
the motion prior to submission.

Thanks and cheers
Mary & Berry
