We would have to amend the charter in order to expand the discussion, and I 
oppose amending the charter

Subject: RE: [gnso-igo-ingo] SG/C Request for Input v0.4

I have attached revisions and comments to the SG/C Request for Input.  My two 
comments are as follows:


1.       I think it needs to be within the remit of this WG to determine 
whether the limitation to organizations “receiving protections under treaties 
and statutes under multiple jurisdictions” is appropriate, or whether it is a 
distinction without a difference, or whether some other limitation is necessary 
and appropriate (and if so, what it is).  International and treaty law is 
fairly complex, and there may be instances where a treaty was written so it 
doesn’t require enabling legislation in member states, or instances where there 
is a web of multi-national statutory regulation but no treaty (e.g., I believe 
Big Brother Big Sister organizations are protected in multiple jurisdictions, 
but not by treaty).  I don’t think names with multinational  protections should 
be disqualified based on how those protections were arrived at – to do so would 
be arbitrary and unfair.   I don’t think we need a Charter amendment to have 
that discussion; however, if we do, I would propose that we start that process 
immediately.


2.       Given Berry’s comment regarding edits to the quoted language of the 
Charter, we need to either (a) revert to the language of the Charter, (b) 
change the lead-in, so these are not identified as statements from the Charter 
per se, (c) amend the Charter to reflect these points, or (d) put the 
non-Charter language in a sub-bullet that makes clear it is a comment  to the 
Charter language and not part of the Charter language.
