Thank you Susan,

My understanding of your comments is that you don't want to let the Sunrise use 
(due its benefits in sunrise to TM Holders) of what is effectively only a 
Sunrise Clearinghouse be lost in the process.

I have included some language saying that though BC has concerns we reluctantly 
the result since some thing is better than nothing and due to the benefits it 
brings for sunrise.  

Mike is updating my draft of the minority report at present and may find your 
comments useful.

..... As I was typing this saw that Mike already replied to you.

Hello Zahid,

I have briefly reviewed the latest draft of the STI report and I am concerned 
about the level of consensus that the BC is supporting on the IP Clearinghouse 
in general.   In Section 1.1 and 5.1 you have noted a "Rough Consensus"  for 
each principle.   We should change the designation of our support of the IP 
Clearinghouse to Unanimous Consensus.    I am concerned that if we do not 
support the IP Clearinghouse as it is designed for the Sunrise period we will 
end up with no standard process in the new gTld rollout.   A standard process 
across all gTld's is vital to a company like Facebook.  In my experience in 
previous gTld rollouts and ccTld rollouts numerous hours and outside counsel 
fees were expended to understand and participate in the Sunrise periods.  I 
firmly believe that the IP Clearinghouse will ease this burden going forward 
for Facebook.

In the BC meeting in Seoul I argued strenuously to extend the use of the IP 
Clearinghouse to post sunrise period but did not realize that this would bring 
the BC to this Rough Consensus opinion.

I will still argue for the use of the IP Clearinghouse in the post Sunrise 
period but if we lose the battle to have it implemented at all we have nothing 
to build upon in the future.

The IP Clearinghouse is vital to the Sunrise process and would I urge others on 
the list to rethink the BC's stance on it a Unanimous Consensus is our best 
protection at this point in the process.

FYI.

Mike and me are drafting a minority report based upon existing BC positions 
culminating in the consensus at the Seoul meetings and comments from the list.

Unfortunately it seems we will probably have one day to submit this. We will be 
able to post the draft by tomorrow morning and look forward to comments 
tomorrow and will at day end submit to the STI.

Comments today so we can use them in our draft would be appreciated and would 
help speed matters up.

Dear All,

Thank you for a very productive call today.  Attached for your review is the 
fourth draft of the STI Report, which attempts to pick up our discussions today.

I believe we are very close to a final version of this the report and would 
appreciate your comments or revisions by the close of business today, so that I 
can prepare the final report tomorrow morning.    Also, please send your 
minority reports by tomorrow morning to ensure inclusion in the version that 
will be circulated to the GNSO Council.   As discussed, if you need more time 
to draft a minority report, you would need to send to me next week, so that it 
can be forwarded to the Board after the GNSO Council vote (if successful) next 
Thursday.


Best Regards,

Margie
