[bc-gnso] RE: Updated draft for approval on 14-Jan: BC comment on Strawman Solution

["Deutsch, Sarah B" <sarah.b.deutsch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Thanks for the good work on the comments.  I have two comments.  First, on the 
Claims 2 notice, I would urge the following change:  "Accordingly, the BC 
supports a reasonable fee for the notice service PROVIDED THE CLAIMS 2 NOTICE 
CONTAINS THE SAME INFORMATION AND AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE REGISTRANT AS THE 
CLAIMS 1 NOTICE"  Without this change, it could be misread to mean the BC 
supports the business community paying all the costs for a an ineffective 
notice.


The comments again appear to be silent on the changes we are seeking to the 
URS.  Even though that issue is on a separate track at ICANN, this paper seems 
to be the place to remind them of the substantive remedies the IPC/BC working 
group proposed as a key priority, such as a real loser pays model and a 
permanent suspension remedy.  I would urge at least a few sentences on the 
importance of making the URS a meaningful (and not just low cost) remedy.



Sarah

Subject: DRAFT for review: BC comment on Strawman Solution

BC members:

In Toronto , the BC/IPC/ISPC requested improved Rights Protection Measures 
(RPMs).  That prompted ICANN executive management to host follow-up meetings 
with multiple stakeholders.   As a result, ICANN posted a "strawman solution" 
for public comment 
(link<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/strawman-solution-03dec12-en.pdf>).
    Public comments are due by 16-Jan-2013.

Attached is a draft BC comment on the Strawman solution, based on prior BC 
positions and discussions, email exchanges with BC members, and initial review 
by the ex comm.

Per the BC charter, this draft is posted for 14 days of review and comment.  As 
soon as possible, please REPLY ALL with your suggested edits to these comments. 
  If any BC member objects to the BC filing the attached draft comment , please 
REPLY ALL and indicate your objection and reason.

We plan to finalize and submit these comments on 16-Jan-2013.
