[GNSO-RPM-WG] RPMs PDP WG Consensus Call: 30 Oct - 08 Nov

Sun Nov 8 23:43:43 UTC 2020

Dear friends and colleagues,
Thank you to everyone for their commitment and diligence in preparing this Final Report. I am honored to have participated alongside you.
A special thanks to the Co-chairs, Phil, Brian, and Kathy who of course are likely owed the equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize.
And a very special thank you to Staff - Mary, Julie, and Ariel, who went the extra mile throughout, and made all of this possible through their hard work and counsel.
I am pleased to support all Final Recommendations in the Final Report, except to the extent stated in the attached Minority Statement in relation to TMCH Final Recommendation #1. The Minority Statement raises issues related to Word Marks and the TMCH that have long been before the WG and which we felt were important to record.
I would ask fellow WG members and the Co-chairs to not take this Minority Statement as detracting in any way from the immense success generally achieved and the apparent consensus on every other Final Recommendation, however we felt it was important to record our thoughts on these particular issues.
Zak

I would like to thank all of our Subteam Chairs and Co-Chairs who gave so generously of their time and energy.

This includes David McAuley, Greg Shatan, Roger Carney, Jason Schaeffer, Paul McGrady and Zak Muscovitch!   Brian and Phil also served as subteam chairs. I'm sure I am missing someone(s) -- so please add to my list!

We could not have parsed surveys, analyzed comments and much more at the rate, depth and quality that we did without your input, guidance, humor and encouragement.

Thank you!
Best, Kathy

Dear co-chairs, staff, and WG members,

I am writing to indicate my personal support for all Phase 1 final PDP recommendations.

And like Steve Levy, who said it so well, I want to thank the co-chairs, our very able and diligent staff, and WG members for their efforts over the course of Phase 1. It has been a pleasure to be a participant in this group.

With best wishes,

David

WG members who wish to familiarize themselves with the steps involved and the various levels of consensus applicable to GNSO PDP recommendations can refer to the recording of the 29 October meeting<https://secure-web.cisco.com/12-IAJcjpfetWmAFa_hwg2sMtKbHEkaHZwtc1_xw6DCPFYy5pWUUcJ7ffXq1BPv9j1YTau5jYangPB4unDIX7xKaSyJ3KIyE9HarqawZD5I3L8lTQWR_rQ2QdBFKFRDA17hUKmDr2xajPC8zTrfLxAPaUocz5BDnUwAFet-lEjrlMpREBkrPXJPcrOOMT0FH5ibFxi8We-FXZI3LaR8PqteUu2q3M5CLOpEuG_Xdlhda-IZrychgDK0P4xCYvKI0PLByOCMlVcCn1blmwNEzdig/https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.icann.org%2Fdisplay%2FRARPMRIAGPWG%2F2020-10-29%2BReview%2Bof%2Ball%2BRights%2BProtection%2BMechanisms%2B%2528RPMs%2529%2Bin%2Ball%2BgTLDs%2BPDP%2BWG> where the Consensus Call process was described.

This Consensus Call opens today, Friday, 30 October 2020 for a 10-day period, closing on Sunday, 08 November 2020.  Per the GNSO Working Group Guidelines<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1QRezqe0qMnIb88ODtf99WDFWRY1jCXB6wAwC6W7I_T36jRbpn67QuNmOv2A_nt-HYK87iT5ag3It2VUAtUu3CyG5Y9EzQuAK5C9WCaIsjgwDummx6q0yLQQjxYl_QCoUlu_VWX9sO-i9PUSwJlYOrAIlL0dkcgr0WVtc8V58lg6uzKGcUIU3KpYj-E1RoHaMeHMP58DLw4jccebAVzhLWf2KXhr_tctxwg3gZAvPWuXj6OoRHb-FgAngznOgGeb8Zriaksu7FggYm82Ky6mqgA/https%3A%2F%2Fgnso.icann.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Ffile%2Ffield-file-attach%2Fannex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-24oct19-en.pdf>, WG members are requested to indicate via reply to this list whether they support, or do not support, the recommendations.  If a WG member does not respond this will be taken as support.  During this period there will be no WG meetings.

Following the close of the Consensus Call, the WG Co-Chairs will meet on Tuesday, 10 November to review the responses from the WG members and determine the Consensus Designations for the Recommendations.  The WG Co-Chairs will post the results of their determination to the WG email distribution list.  Assuming there is no disagreement by the WG with the Consensus Designations that may require further review of the initial Designations by the Co-Chairs, staff will incorporate them into the Final Report.

Per the Work Plan, the WG must submit the Final Report to the GNSO Council no later than Wednesday, 25 November 2020.

Kind regards,
Mary, Ariel, and Julie
