Dear All,

I believe we have been over the issue of past harm within existing gTLDs during 
earlier WG deliberations, and have had good exchanges on that.

Berry, if necessary would it be possible to re-circulate that earlier staff 
survey for the information of those in the group who may not have been involved 
in those earlier deliberations?

The issue of how best to accommodate potentially legitimate use of exact match 
IGOs by third party registrants should be distinguished from the question of 
whether examples of past harm exist, which IGOs submit is certainly the case 
based on the evidence and submissions examined thus far by the group.

I think we will need to look at the question of appropriate protection within 
the existing gTLD space at some point, as that is within the group's mandate, 
but would submit that this need not hold up progress on work being done in 
connection with protection appropriate for new gTLDs (in which there have not 
yet been any second-level registrations to potentially complicate the matter).

Best,
David

I agree with Avri.  Any harm that any IGO can actually show from operation of 
existing TLDs over the past 20 years would also be relevant to this discussion 
about purported likely harm in future TLDs.  In particular, how has any IGO 
ever suffered in any way from anyone else's legitimate use of the IGO's 
purported acronym?  Without some evidence of past harm, there can be no 
justification for future protection.

Hi,

In any case it needs to be mentioned in the initial report, even if just as a 
amrker of work yet to be done.

And you are right, what I stated is  a principle I think we should always 
adhere to, the fairness principle.  But it is not the result of any 
conversations we have had.  On the issues of this particular group, it is easy 
for the incumbents to agree on all sorts of requirements for new gTLDs, that 
they themselves don't have to deal with.  It is for this reason that I always 
try to keep the fairness principle foremost in my mind.

I do disagree with you on deciding first what happens to the new gTLDS without 
also deciding on how the incumbents will meet the same requirements.
I am assuming that for every protection that is being argued for, there is an 
equivalent argument for why it is needed on the incumbent TLDs.  After all, any 
harm they have shown, only exists in the incumbents as an actuality.  
Everywhere else it is merely possible.

actually have closure on the new gTLD protections, although it does make sense 
to keep in mind that eventually we will need to look at the existing TLDs as 
well. Presuming we will come to closure....
