[gnso-igo-ingo] Proposed protection matrix - to be discussed during the next call
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Dear all,</div><div>based on our discussions, I have below tried to amalgamate the points I have perceived to be supported by some in the WG into a consistent set of measures / protections / recommendations. </div><div><br></div><div>You will see that I have separately dealt with the IOC, RCRC, IGOs and INGOs, but still used a definition based on Mary's proposal to give an overall rationale for the protections. You will also see that I have covered for each of the above:</div><div><br></div><div>1. qualification criteria</div><div><br></div><div>2. protections for the top level and the second level</div><div><br></div><div>3. protections in the launch phase and as of general availability</div><div><br></div><div>4. protections that work preventive and preventions that work curative</div><div><br></div><div>5. protections for identical matches and similar strings</div><div><br></div><div>You will note that I have provided responses for all those aspects for all types of organizations separately. As I mentioned, we need to look at the organizations separately as no consensus was in sight on determining a unified set of criteria. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, you will find different protections for different phases / scenarios to respond to the proposal (as made by Evan) that the response/protection should correspond to the concrete threat or I should better say likelyhood of threat (paraphrasing now). To give an example: If someone took the string World Health Organization (exact match name of the organization) the threat level would be higher than if someone took the acronym (who). </div><div><br></div><div>ToDos / Next Steps:</div><div><br></div><div>I recommend you go through the proposal one by one per organization (type) in question and give feedback whether you are fine with the approach. If you think, other protections should be granted, please do explicitly mention them. </div><div><br></div><div>If you think that one or more organizations should fulfill other or more qualification criteria, please do explicitly mention them and come up with an alternative proposal. </div><div><br></div><div>If you think that the matrix is not covering all aspects it should include, please provide concrete information on what is missing. I know the matrix just provides headings and not all information we have exchanged in calls or in writing. Completeness for that can be checked by you when you get the draft report (which staff is thankfully starting to write up in parallel - thanks to Brian and Berry!!!). </div><div><br></div><div>If you think that you cannot grant protections to one or more of the organization (types) on the basis of the methodology, please spell out explicitly and comprehensively what you need to know, add to support a recommendation to provide protections. If you do come up with such requests, the group will consider whether such request can be responded to. If you think you cannot support protections for one or more organizations anyway, please indicate. </div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent;">Since the group has extensively discussed all aspects of the issues in question and provided all information that the members regarded relevant were put forward, I believe we are now at a point where we should move forward to the next stage and work on actual conclusions / proposals.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Hence, you find below a set of recommendations with proposed recommendations for all 4 organization(s) types. Please note that these do not necessarily reflect my own preference, but such proposals that I think might get some support after having listened to all of you for a long time. </div><div><br></div><div>We will discuss this set of recommendations during the next call. If you provide substantive feedback or alternatives, we will include such information if it finds sufficient working group support. If no alternatives are proposed, we will refine the proposals with additional explanations and include it in the report so that the report can be put out for public comment as soon as possible. We will call for view on all 4 organization(s) (types) separately, so you can say yes or no to each individually, unless there is broad support by the group that we should group the proposals into less than four segments. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Attached you find the:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; ">Proposed protection scheme for organizations that serve the global public interest, that are international in scope and operations, and whose primary mission is of such public importance that some form of special protection for its name and acronym can be justified.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; "><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; ">Eligible Organizations:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; "><br></span></div><div>Meeting two of the following criteria is deemed to be sufficient evidence of the above requirements for an organization to be eligible for protections. The protection encompasses the name and the acronym of the respective organization as well as designations that - as the case may be - are explicitly mentioned in a treaty as a protected designation. </div><div><br></div><div>- Protection by treaty </div><div>- Protection in multiple national jurisdictions (either by virtue of a specific law or treaty protection that is enforceable in a multiple jurisdictions without the requirement of a specific enactment </div><div>- Mission serving the global public interest</div><div>- inclusion in the Ecosoc list </div><div><br></div><div>I am looking forward to receiving your feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>Thomas</div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html> Attachment:
