[gnso-igo-ingo] Update from Admission team
Hi, Update from the Admission team - The 3 members of the Admission team (Chuck, Mary and me) started by each contributing our responses to the questions by filling in the cells in the table - Chuck then took those responses and: a. produced a possible common statement for each cell in the table b. proposed a short answer to the actual question - We had a Tele-chat where we discussed each cell making edits. We also discussed possible new questions, but in the end decided against adding any questions. Finally we settled on the wording of the short answers to the questions. Chuck once again took this content and updated the table. - Avri produced this cover note, which was discussed by the team members. - The table is attached to this note. --- The team was concerned by the topic of criteria and types of criteria used in admission control. We saw this as a problem of balancing the various criteria and categories of criteria. We did not think that any criteria or type of criteria was absolute. The Team discussed many concerns beyond the type of organization and the treaty or list they might be on. We beleive that there will be many necessary components in any decision. The team envisions admission as depending on meeting a base set of criteria, e.g. treaty basis, IGO list membership, type of organization or type of activity, as well as meeting at least some subset of criteria from categories such as UDRP/URS and other RPM history, infringement history, DNS threat level, uniqueness of the name under question, jurisdictional scope etc.. We were also concerned about the degree of magnitude of [number] as defined in many of the questions, and had many questions on the definitions of various terms, such as evidence of infringement and DNS threat. We think admission requires an evaluation process suited to a complex set of characteristics and metrics. That is, this issue requires multi-variate admission procedures and processes. Attachment:
