[gnso-igo-ingo] New Board (NGPC) resolution and update
Dear WG members, We thought you might be interested to know that the ICANN Board, acting through its New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC), met on 9 January 2014 and passed the following resolution extending the temporary protections for certain IGO identifiers first issued in July 2013 (via implementation through Specification 5 of the New gTLD Registry Agreement) as the Board, GAC, staff and community continue to work through the implementation issues. You'll notice that in the rationale for its resolution (required by the ICANN Bylaws) the NGPC specifically noted the work done by this WG and our Final Report: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-09jan14- en.htm#2.d.i The public comment period for the Final Report closed on 8 January 2014. The GNSO Council has been asked to approve its report on the recommendations for sending on to the ICANN Board at the next Council meeting on 23 January 2014: http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/agenda-council-23jan14-en.htm. The Board will take up consideration of the recommendations following GNSO Council approval of its report. The Preliminary Issue Report on access to the curative rights protection mechanisms of the UDRP and URS is in preparation, and staff expects to be able to publish it for the requisite public comment period by the end of January. Following the close of that public comment period, staff will prepare a Final Issue Report incorporating public feedback and input for review and voting on a possible PDP by the GNSO Council. We hope you all had a happy and festive holiday break, and thank you again for all the hard work that went into the recommendations and Final Report.
