FW: [gnso-igo-ingo] Latest Public Comment Tool
WG Members, Please find attached an updated version of the Public Comment Review Tool (PCRT). From the thread below, Chuck offered up suggested changes to enhance our WG responses for several of the comments. They are now included in this version. While we have yet to receive any additional comments, we will briefly review a few comments during tomorrow's meeting. An agenda will be sent separately. Thank you.

As discussed by Thomas and others in the call last week, there appears to be a lot of misunderstanding of where the WG is leaning regarding recommendations so it might be a good idea to mention that in our final report and that we try to make the recommendations clearer in the final report. 2. In the last column, in cases where we say "No actions required", I suggest that we say something like "No actions recommended". From the commenters' points of view, actions are required. What is entered in the 'WG Response' column explains our rationale. 3. In cases where commenters argue with minority statements in the report, we may want to explain in the WG response that minority statements are just that, i.e., they are positions that the WG did not support. 4. For comment 3, I think our WG response should include a statement that the WG did not recommend confiscation of acronyms. 5. For comment 5, I think our WG response should include a statement that the WG did not recommend blocking acronyms. 6. For comment 10, I do not think that all of the comments align with the WG recommendations so some rewording of the WG response seems like a good idea. They align with regard to blanket protection of acronyms, blocking full names & distinguishing between TMs in the TMCH but I do not think they align with regard to Including acronyms in the TMCH. 7. For comment 16 in the WG response, I think we should say that the WG 'discussed these issues extensively' instead of just saying we 'considered them'. We may also want to add that serving the public interest involves the rights of others in addition to IGOs & INGOs. 8. For comments 26-35, 38 & 46, I think the WG response should say that in our discussion of implementing the recommendation for existing gTLDs we have not recommended changes that would impact existing registrations but rather a possible grandfathering approach that has been used in the past. 9. For comment 30, we should also note in the WG Response that the WG has not recommended reserving acronyms but only recommended that they could be added to the TMCH as a special category (i.e., not trademarks). 10. For comment 31, our WG response should include a statement that the WG did not recommend blocking acronyms. 11. For comment 45, we should also note in the WG Response that the WG has not recommended reserving acronyms but only recommended that they could be added to the TMCH as a special category (i.e., not trademarks).
