[gnso-pro-wg] PRO WG Meeting Summary - 6 March Teleconference

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

All,

As promised, here's a brief summary of yesterday's meeting.  The
recording is available.  

1.  Meeting in Lisbon.  We will meet in Lisbon on Sunday at 9:00-11:00.
(That may change to either 9:30 or, possibly, Saturday afternoon after
the GAC-GNSO meeting.)  Would you please let me know if you are planning
to attend the Lisbon meeting, but would not be available Saturday
afternoon?    At this point, I expect we will be discussing outreach to
the constituencies and others regarding the qualitative information we
hope to obtain.  

2.  TLD Summaries.  We will be using the forms I circulated yesterday
morning.  The only change is that each member may add a "comments"
section to capture information that may not otherwise be covered.  For
example, Peter indicated during the call that many .eu sunrise
participants objected to the extremely strict adherence to formal
requirements such as complete identity of applicant and registration
owner.  That type of information should be noted in a comments section.
Comment should be added at the end of Part C or you may create a new
Part D, depending on the volume you expect to have.   Peter volunteered
to prepare a document that contains explanatory notes about what each
category should contain.  If you missed the call and still have
questions after you've listened to the recording and reviewed Peter's
document, please feel free to post them.  Summaries should be completed
and posted to the list before our next call on 13 March.  

3.  Registry Information.  The summaries call for certain statistical
information that the registry likely generated.  If you cannot locate
that information in any public documents, it may be necessary to contact
the registry.  Jeff agreed to post the TLD responsibility list to the
Registry Constituency list so that the registry representatives are
aware that they may be contacted.  My notes are not clear - and neither
is the recording - as to how that contact should be made.  (Jeff, would
you please let us know how your fellow constituency members would like
to handle such inquiries?  Many thanks.)

4.  WIPO Resources.  Eun-Joo Min, Senior Legal Officer at WIPO's
Arbitration & Mediation Center, is a WG member.  She volunteered
yesterday to be of informational assistance to the WG members
responsible for the .biz, .info, and .mobi TLDs.

If I've left anything out, WG members on the call should certainly feel
free to supplement.  Otherwise, I'll circulate next week's agenda this
weekend.

As always, many thanks.

Sincerely yours,
Kristina
