[gnso-igo-wt] FOR DISCUSSION: Updated draft preliminary recommendations and options

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

Please find attached a clean, updated version of the draft preliminary recommendations that this group is attempting to finalize for Public Comment next week, as well as the URS process flow chart that was displayed during Tuesday’s call. We hope the revised text captures the agreements and feedback from this past Tuesday’s call. As previously, to avoid “competing” texts, please do not send a redline/markup of the document; instead, please feel free to post comments and questions to this list ahead of Monday’s call.

As you review the updated text, staff hopes that the following notes are helpful:

  *   We have combined the Mutual Jurisdiction exemption for the UDRP and URS into a single recommendation (which is now Recommendation #3).
  *   We have attempted to highlight the options under consideration even more by labeling them Option 1 and Option 2 (for the UDRP and URS, in what is now Recommendation #4 & #5, respectively.) We have also used yellow highlights in these square-bracketed options to indicate the differences between the two options in question.
  *   All other changes, updates and additions have been indicated via Comments balloons.
  *   We have clarified that the question regarding applicable law is not an option to mutual agreement but a possible additional step (in what is now Recommendation #6.)

For the URS process flow chart, we plan on making any necessary updates once the EPDP team has agreed on the text of the recommendations, prior to insertion into the Initial Report.

Staff is currently updating the draft Initial Report to reflect the latest changes and agreements. We will do our best to circulate an updated version as soon as feasible, prior to Monday’s call.

Thanks and cheers
Steve, Berry & Mary
