> Subject: [council] Initiation of IGO/INGO Protection PDP
>
> GNSO Council,
>
> As you recall from the 17 October 2012 Toronto meeting, the Council 
> adopted the motion to initiate a PDP to be completed in an expedited 
> manner on the Protections of Certain International Organization 
> Names in all gTLDs (see 20121017-2 
> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions#20121017>http://gnso.icann.org/en/resolutions#20121017). 
> The GNSO Council decided at this meeting that a group of volunteers 
> should be convened quickly to draft the charter for the IGO-INGO 
> Protection PDP Working Group, which will likely include the members 
> from the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team.  The first meeting of the IGO-INGO 
> Protection Charter Drafting Team is scheduled to occur on 31 October 
> 2012 at 18:00 UTC.  Calendar notices and request for volunteers will 
> be sent out shortly.
> To expedite initiation of the PDP, Staff developed the attached 
> first drafts of the IGO-INGO Protection WG Charter and proposed work 
> plan.  The draft Charter proposes that the future WG create two 
> sub-groups (A & B) to address the different scope and timelines for 
> addressing the issues of special protections for the IOC/RCRC names 
> and IGO/INGO names separately.  We'd like to request your particular 
> attention be given to the Mission & Scope, Objectives & Goals, and 
> Deliverables & Timeframes sections of the Charter.
> The draft proposed work plan is also provided to understand key 
> milestones of the PDP efforts and external events planned through 
> the first quarter of 2013.  Please note that this is a working 
> draft.  Staff is checking internally on the expert opinion issue, 
> and we'd like to propose updating this work plan once we receive 
> confirmation that we can obtain the expert opinion.
> Because the IOC/RCRC DT members will likely participate in the 
> IGO-INGO PDP, Staff suggests that the current IOC/RCRC DT be 
> suspended.  It is expected that the remaining IOC/RCRC DT efforts, 
> after the close of the public comment period, will be addressed by 
> sub-group A of the PDP WG mentioned above.
> We look forward to meeting with members of the Drafting Team next 
> week.  In the meantime, Staff would like to hear the Council's view 
> about this go-forward plan and will incorporate any feedback that 
> the Council has.
> Supporting Staff:  Brian Peck, Margie Milam, Berry Cobb
