RE: [gnso-sti] Status of Next Draft

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Margie:

 

A call on Wednesday would work with me if it is necessary.  It's
probably better to schedule it and cancel it if not needed vs. the other
way around.

 

Thanks.

 

Jon

Dear All,

 

Thank you  all for your comments and suggested revisions.   I am
awaiting a few more comments that I am told should arrive by tomorrow
morning.   If possible, please have all of your comments in by 12:00 ET
tomorrow, and I'll send a revised document in the afternoon.    

 

There appears to be some open issues still unresolved.   My question for
each of you is  whether we should schedule one more call on Wednesday
morning to finalize the report. 

 

Please let me know if you think that is necessary, and I'll have Gisella
send around a doodle to determine the best time for a call.

 

Thanks,

Margie

Hi All,
Attached is the NCSG's requests for changes to the text of the excellent
STI Report which Margie has drafted. 
I hope you will find our edits consistent with the positions we have
taken all along. We offer them to further clarify and explain these
positions. 

Our edits fall into two broad categories: 
1. changing "should" to "shall."  Especially where there are issues
involving notice and due process, we feel strongly that the word "shall"
should be used as these are protections for the registrant we negotiated
together.
2. adding in specific language regarding the notice and due process
requirements as we understand the discussion and agreement. 

All changes in the attached document are shown via "Track Changes."
These include brief changes to the Background, opening paragraphs of
each section and Annexes.

One further change that we support, and have incorporated, is the change
of IP Claims to TM Claims. I think this was Alan's edit and we agree --
and note that the STI has been using the term TM Claims in our
discussion for some time. 

We hope these edits, and all our edits, advance us to the end game.

Best,
Kathy

Dear All,

 

Attached for your review is the second draft of the STI Report, that
includes the Trademark Clearinghouse and URS recommendations.   

 

Although I have received a number of comments already to the first
draft,  this version does not address any of them except to change the
references of "broad consensus" to "rough consensus."    I thought it
would be more appropriate to wait for additional comments before
circulating the next draft.   

 

 

Best Regards,

 

Margie
