Re: [gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: Draft Status Report to send to the GAC on Feb 29th

[Konstantinos Komaitis <k.komaitis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jeff for your hard work – this is an excellent document. One comment 
under Recommendation 2: I was under the impression that the issue concerning 
the list of languages was not really settled, especially given that the 
addition of more languages appears to be going beyond the scope of 
international law instruments (e.g. the Nairobi Treaty, which only has 50 
signatories).

The current language at the end of the first paragraph of recommendation 2 
reads: "If such a list can be produced, the Drafting Team may recommend the use 
of that list as a substitute to that currently in the Applicant Guidebook." - I 
was wondering whether this could be replaced (in line with what has been 
discussed) with the following wording: "If such a list can be produced, the 
Drafting Team will look at the way this list fits within the existing 
international law instruments protecting these terms and determine whether it 
will recommend the use of that list as a substitute to that currently in the 
Applicant Guidebook".

Thanks again for your hard work on this.

Konstantinos

Thanks for the comments. The first comment makes a lot of sense and I have 
changed the wording.  See new revised version.

The second comment is more substantive, and I am going to ask the group if 
there is anything we can do at this stage to define that more clearly.  Does 
anyone have any suggestions?  If we can get to agreement on something in the 
next day, then I will substitute the new wording.  Otherwise, we can leave this 
as a discussion point and resolve over the next week.

Here is what that section states.  Please comment on the highlighted portion.

                                            i.                        If the 
applied-for TLD is not identical to any of the Modified Reserved Names, but 
fails initial string similarity review with one of Modified Reserved Names, the 
applicant may attempt to override the string similarity failure by:


1.      Seeking a letter of non-objection from the IOC or the RCRC, as 
applicable; or

2.      If it cannot obtain a letter of non-objection, the applicant must:

a.      claim to have a legitimate interest in the string, and demonstrate the 
basis for this claim; and
b.      explain why it believes that the new TLD is not confusingly similar to 
one of the protected strings and makes evident that it does not refer to the 
IOC, RCRC or any Olympic or Red Cross Red Crescent activity.

Dear Jeff,

It is an excellent job.  Thank you very much for your hard work.

I have consulted my constituency regarding the proposal, Recommendation 1, and 
the only observations I’ve received where:

Recommendation 1, lit. b.  Where it says “too similar”, we think it would be 
more in line with the applicant guidebook to say “confusingly similar”.

Recommendation 1, lit. c., ii. 2, b.  where it says « any Olympic or Red Cross 
Red Crescent activity », the activities should be define more clearly.

I’m sorry to submit these observations so near the call with the GAC.

I´ll be on the conversation next Friday.

Best Regards,

Osvaldo

Asunto: [gnso-iocrc-dt] Draft Status Report to send to the GAC on Feb 29th

All,

As previously discussed, in order to be able to secure the call with the GAC on 
Friday, I had to commit to drafting a status report on the current state of 
affairs with the drafting team and the recommendations.  Please find enclosed 
what I drafted over the weekend and let me know if you have any questions, 
comments or concerns.  It is a report from the chair and has no official 
status.  I put in a bunch of disclaimers in the first footnote about that.

Thanks for your help with this and I look forward to having a productive 
conversation on Friday with interested GNSO Council and GAC members.
