Brian:
I believe this goes beyond what was agreed at our meeting today.
I do not regard the first indent as redundant or duplicative. I would approve removal of
the phrase beginning " develop specific …" from the second indent.

To Members of the IGO-INGO Working Group:
During the call today a proposal was submitted to the WG by Ricardo Guilherme
for the WG to request the GNSO Council to consider revising the draft WG
Charter which will be voted on during the Council meeting on 15 November. The
suggested revision is delineated below.
Members are asked to state whether they would approve or object to this
proposal being submitted to the Council on behalf of this PDP WG.
The Council meets at 11:00 UTC on the 15 Nov. and so, WG members are requested
to submit their approval/objection no later than 8:00 UTC on 15 Nov.
If approved to be submitted on behalf of the WG, then the Chair could

Thank you.

Subject: Proposed language edit for the WG charter
Dear Brian,
As discussed during the call, please find below the proposed remarks and edits to the WG
Charter (Section "Mission and scope", third paragraph, first and second
indents), to be shared with and potentially submitted by the WG before the GNSO Council
call takes place tomorrow.
An inconsistency exists between the language used in the first indent and the
one contained in the second indent, in the sense that there is already an
assumption that protection shall be afforded to the two movements/organizations
named therein. Moreover, a reference to the initial round of new gTLDs is
already provided in the second indent.
THE CURRENT DRAFT WG CHARTER READS:
Should the PDP WG reach consensus on a recommendation that there is a need for
special protections at the top and second level in all existing and new gTLDs
for certain international organization names and acronyms, the PDP WG is
expected to:
- Determine the appropriate protection for RCRC and IOC names at the
second level for the initial round of new gLTDs.
- Determine whether the current special protections being provided to RCRC
and IOC names at the top and second level of the initial round of new gTLDs
should be made permanent for RCRC and IOC names in all gTLDs and if not,
develop specific recommendations for appropriate special protections for these
names.
In this regard, it is worth emphasizing that the WG is supposed to provide, on
a comprehensive and objective basis, recommendations concerning the protection
of the names and acronyms of IGOs and INGOs (including as the case may be the
IOC and the RC for the latter category).
Consequently, in case the final recommendation is to refuse permanent protection to one
entity or another, there is no legal or logical reason to further "develop specific
recommendations for appropriate special protections for these names". I may also add
that both the IOC and the RC fall within the scope of INGOs.
In the light of the above, the first indent should be deleted (as it is
redundant/duplicating language already present in the second indent) and the
second indent read as follows instead:
"Determine whether the current special protections being provided to RCRC and IOC
names at the top and second level of the initial round of the new gTLDs are appropriate
and should be made permanent for RCRC and IOC names in all gTLDs."
With kind regards,
Ricardo Guilherme
