[gnso-igo-ingo] IGO-INGO Consensus Call

["Lelievre-Acosta, Berly" <berly.lelievre-acosta@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Thomas and colleagues,
Further to our previous teleconference, we confirm that we do not support IGO 
Recommendation 5 since it does not provide an appropriate level of protection 
for IGO acronyms.  As indicated in our email of September 11, 2013, our 
opposition to IGO Recommendation 5 "concerns the lack of preventative 
second-level protection implied by the majority-proposed addition to the 
Trademark Clearinghouse".
Regarding General Recommendation 4, we believe it is more appropriate to keep 
the wording as is and call it divergence.  The fact is that the members of the 
Working Group provided comments to General Recommendation 4 as it is currently 
drafted and it would be ill-advised to change its wording at this late stage.  
Considering the compilation of responses received from Working Group members, 
to invert the recommendation and then argue in favor of consensus is simply 
inappropriate.
Sincerely,
WIPO, OECD, UPU
Berly Lelievre Acosta and Jo Teng on behalf of Working Group representatives 
from WIPO, OECD, UPU
