<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We (the IGO Group) have discussed Option 1 and are uncomfortable with the requirement for an IGO complainant to specify a court for the registrant in case it wishes to initiate court
proceedings. This may well be deemed to constitute a submission to jurisdiction, and it is not clear whether the reservation of immunities would be effective.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We would therefore be grateful if the group could work off Option 2 on this afternoon’s call. The language we have proposed seeks to circumvent the issue above, as it does not require
an IGO complainant to nominate a court. The outcome for the registrant is also broadly the same – its right to go to court if it wishes is reaffirmed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear EPDP team,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One action item from Monday’s call was for staff to work with the leadership team to develop updated draft text for Recommendation 3 (regarding jurisdiction and the respective rights of an IGO Complainant and registrant).
In addition, IGO representatives were to send suggested language for consideration. As a result, we attach a document that contains two alternative, updated formulations of Recommendation 3 for your review and further discussion.
<u>Please come to next Monday’s (7 February) call prepared to discuss the new text in detail</u>, so that the group can conclude its deliberations on this topic in a feasibly expedient manner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We will send out the agenda for Monday’s call, including updated draft text for Recommendations 4 & 5, separately.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p>
