[gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: Preparation for Tomorrow's Call

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Also in preparation for the call, everyone should review the original letter 
submitted by the GAC on their consensus GAC Advice which contains the rationale 
for why these 2 marks.  There is a lot of comments that focus on the precedent 
this may set, slippery slope and on why these marks are being given special 
consideration. I found it helpful to re-read this original letter 
(https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/1540128/GAC+advice+on+IOC+and+Red+Cross+Sep.+2011.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1317031625914)

Finally, please review the GAC Communiqué 
(https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/4817665/CR_Communique_FINAL.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1331877857000).
  It states:

International Olympic Committee (IOC), Red Cross and Red Crescent

The GAC advises that the IOC, Red Cross and Red Crescent names should be 
protected without delay at the top level so that these protections can be 
applied as part of the first round of new gTLD applications. The GAC and 
Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO) held a focused exchange on the 
efforts by members of the GNSO community to develop proposals to protect the 
IOC/Red Cross and Red Crescent names at the top and second levels. The GNSO 
Drafting Team provided an overview of its proposals to ensure effective 
protection is available at the top level, which the GAC concurred with. If 
approved by the GNSO Council, these proposals will be forwarded to the ICANN 
Board. In that event, the GAC urges the Board to act expeditiously on these 
proposals, to ensure that the IOC/Red Cross and Red Crescent names will benefit 
from full protection at the top level. During the exchange, the GAC confirmed 
the rationale for its consensus proposal to protect IOC/Red Cross and Red 
Crescent names. As this rationale is not outlined in the Applicant Guidebook 
the GAC notes the need for clarification of the underlying criteria.

I know we informally asked for the research that was done, but I do not believe 
a formal request was sent out for the research.

Will do Jeff.  Did the Council send a request to the GAC for general language 
that wouldn’t require naming of the IOC and RCRC?
