[Gnso-igo-ingo] Red Cross Reconvened WG - Upcoming Calls

Mon Jul 16 09:14:06 UTC 2018

Dear Thomas, dear Berry,
Dear all,

Thank you to Berry for his message.

Further to the recent GNSO Council session held in Panama, I am sharing 
herewith in track-changes our remaining suggestions and comments on the 
Initial Report and its Recommendations. 
We have also added a few minor comments on form (we would for instance 
recommend that the positions of the International Red Cross and Red 
Crescent Movement be attributed, in the draft Report, to the “Red Cross 
and Red Crescent” and not simply to the Red Cross).

Our main comments on the substance of the Report concern two issues: 
-          The first is once again to recommend that the Report clearly 
formulate that its recommendations do not affect or bring into question 
the temporary protections presently accorded to those Red Cross and Red 
Crescent terms/identifiers that are outside of the reconvened Working 
Group’s purview. These include in particular the acronyms/initials of the 
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and of the International 
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

-          The second pertain to the reservations that have been requested 
by several National Societies to cover the short names “Red Cross” or “Red 
Crescent” in their national language(s). It is our understanding that the 
Working Group agreed to such protections in principle and thus, on the 
cumulative conditions that i) the short version of the name constitute a 
commonly used name/identifier of the National Society, and that ii) such 
short names be protected under the domestic legislation of the concerned 
National Society’s national State. This was in our understanding concurred 
to by Working Group members. It appears however that the inclusion of the 
short names into the list of protected strings is presented in the draft 
Report as not agreed.

We would also recommend that the list of National Societies’ names not be 
referred to as “definitive” and thus, given that a procedure is foreseen 
(i) for corrections and (ii) for eventual additions to the list (i.e. 
should new National Societies be established and recognized as components 
of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in the future).

The dates of 26 July and 2 August at 14UTC for 1.5 hours would work for 
me.

Pending the next telephone conference, to all a great summer season.

Best regards,

Stéphane

Hi All, 

Shortly, you will see calendar invites for 26 July and 2 August both at 
14UTC for 1.5 hours.  As you know, the public comment period will close 31 
July and we only have until 6 August to submit the motion and final report 
for the Council’s meeting in August.   

For the 31st July meeting, I understand that Stephane will have several 
suggested edits to the report in preparation for the final version.  I 
believe the WG can review those suggestions and review any comments 
submitted to the public comment forum.  We will then use the 2 August 
meeting to review through the remaining comments submitted by the July 31 
and prepare the final report. We will also review a draft of the Council 
motion.  This will leave the 3rd through the 6th of August for any last 
minute non-substantive changes to the report before it is delivered. 

Stephane, it will be helpful if you can have your suggested edits to the 
report sent to the list by 20 July.  This should provide ample time for 
the WG to review the proposed changes prior to the call.  Please make your 
suggestions to the attached report.  Track changes are enabled. 

Thank you. 

B
