[gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: Summing up Option 7
According to my understanding of our discussions, I definitely think that you are on the right track Jeff. I made some suggested edits that are highlighted in the attached file, including an attempt to accommodate Alan's comment. Note that the edits reflect my personal thoughts and do not necessarily represent the RySG; once we agree on language for option 7, I will seek RySG input just like the rest of you will do with your groups. I am fully open to critique of my edits.

Can you please forward to me an comments on this as to whether this matches your understanding of what was discussed? Thanks. __________________________________________________________________________________________ * Option 7: Treat the terms set forth in Section 2.2.1.2.3 as "modified reserved names" meaning: a) The names are available as gTLD strings to the International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, as applicable. b) Applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity review to determine whether they are similar to those in Section 2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too similar to a Reserved Name will not pass this initial review. c) Unlike other applied for gTLDs, however, the process would not end here. Applicants for these strings, or those strings found to be similar through the String Similarity Review will have the opportunity in an "extended evaluation" to demonstrate that they have rights or legitimate interests to the strings they are seeking. - This could be in the form of a letter of non-objection from the International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as applicable; or - A demonstration of trademark rights in the strings - Other factors? d) This would not preclude the IOC/Red Cross from bringing a legal rights objection if they disagree with the "determination of rights or legitimate interests".

Please let me know if you want to add anything else. I. Schedule (including Costa Rica sessions) II. Recap of Last Call III. Feedback from Team/Constituencies/SGs/ACs on Top-Level Options IV. Next Steps / Prep for GNSO Call & Possible Status call with GAC I am a little disappointed by the lack of e-mails in the last two weeks on the questions presented, so please come to the meeting ready to contribute. Thanks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Question 1. How should the Olympic and Red Cross/Red Crescent Terms be Treated in the Current Application Round GAC Proposal At the top level, the request is to protect the Olympic and Red Cross terms like the words "test" and "example" in the Applicant Guidebook (Section 2.2.1.2), extending those terms to multiple languages and receiving consideration during the String Similarity review. Right now, these terms (in not every language) is in the section entitled "Strings Ineligible for Registration" and would not invoke String Similarity Review. * Option 1: Recommend no changes to Guidebook and reject GAC Proposal. This means that the names set forth in 2.2.1.2.3: a) Are not considered "Reserved Names" b) Applied for strings are not reviewed for similarity to the names in Section 2.2.1.2.3. * Option 2: Treat the terms set forth in Section 2.2..1.2.3 as "reserved names" under Section 2.2.1.2. This means that: a) the names are not available as gTLD strings to anyone; and b) applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity review to determine whether they are similar to those in Section 2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too similar to a Reserved Name will not pass this review. c) Like other applied for gTLDs not passing String Similarity Review, there is no appeal. * Option 3: Treat the terms set forth in Section 2.2.1.2.3 as "modified reserved names" meaning: a) The names are available as gTLD strings only to the International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, as applicable. b) applied-for gTLD strings are reviewed during the String Similarity review to determine whether they are similar to those in Section 2.2.1.2.3. An application for a gTLD string that is identified as too similar to a Reserved Name will not pass this review. c) Like other applied for gTLDs not passing String Similarity Review, there is no appeal. * Option 4a - Same as Option 2, except there would be an appeal process for those organizations that can demonstrate legitimate rights to the "reserved names." Appeal mechanism TBD. * Option 4b - Same as Option 3, except there would be an appeal process for those organizations that can demonstrate legitimate rights to the "modified reserved names." Appeal mechanism TBD. * Option 5a: Same as Option 3 except that the "modified reserve names" are available as gTLD strings only to the International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement or, to those entities receiving a letter of non-objection from the International Olympic Committee, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as applicable. * Option 5b: Same as Option 5a but also to include entities receiving a letter of non-objection from a relevant government. * Option 6a: Same as Option 5a, except that there would be an appeal process for those entities that can demonstrate legitimate rights to the "modified reserved names." Appeal mechanism TBD. * Option 6b: Same as Option 5b, except there would be an appeal process for those entities that can demonstrate legitimate rights to the "modified reserved names." Appeal mechanism TBD. Question 2. Should the protections set forth in Question 1 apply to languages in addition to those set forth in the chart in Section 2.2.1.2.3? If yes, which additional languages? a) Option 1: No, just the languages set forth in the Applicant Guidebook b) Option 2: Accept GAC Proposal stating asking for protection in "multiple languages - all translations of the listed names in languages used on the Internet." c) Option 3: Extending protections to other languages, but a subset of languages. Question 3. Should the Protections in Questions 1 and 2 apply to subsequent gTLD rounds? a) Option 1: Yes, it should apply in all future rounds b) Option 2: No, it should only apply to this current round. c) Option 3: It should apply in this current round with no decision on subsequent rounds. We should evaluate the results of this initial round, document lessons learned, and then decide on recommendations on subsequent rounds based on the results of the evaluation. Jeffrey J.
