Paul,

Can you please do a compare of the language in 5.1 to the language proposed in 
the Final IRT Report?  I am assuming that is where you got the language 
originally which I was fine with, but review would be a lot easier with that 
comparison.

Margie,

 

Attached is a comparison version showing the IPC's comments to the draft 
report.  We believe these comments are clarifying in nature and do not expect 
that they would be controversial.  I will be in transit most of today, so if 
you have any specific questions, please reach out to Mark.  Thanks!  

 

Regards,

Paul

Some other comments.  Thanks again Margie!

Section 3.2:  I believe “equal access requirements for all persons and entities 
required to access the TC” should be added as another element of the Agreement 
between ICANN and the TC.

Section 4.1 I would like a statement included (even if a Minority Statement 
from the Registries) that says: “Inclusion of a trademark in the Trademark 
Clearinghouse from a country where there is not substantive review, does not 
necessarily mean that a new gTLD Registry must include those trademarks in a 
Sunrise or IP Claims Process.”

Section 4.2 – I am not sure this is worded the way we discussed.  I would 
change from this: No common law rights should be included in the TC Database, 
except for court validated common law marks.   The TC Service Provider could 
charge higher fees to reflect the additional costs associated with verifying 
these common law rights” to “The TC Database shall not be required to include 
common law rights, except for court validated common law marks; provided that a 
new gTLD Registry may elect to have the TC Service Provider collect and verify 
common law right provided that it conforms to Recommendation 2.3.  The TC 
Service Provider could charge higher fees to reflect the additional costs 
associated with verifying these common law rights.”

Section 5.2 – See last e-mail from Alan (which I agreed with his comments).

Section 10.1 – IN the minority view, I would change: “RySG Minority Position 
that Registries should not bear any of the costs of the TC” to “RySG Minority 
Position that Registries should not bear any of the costs of the TC and that if 
Registries are required to provide funding for the TC, nothing shall prohibit 
Registries from passing those costs through to participants of RPMs”.

Dear All,

 

Attached for your review is the first draft of the STI Report, that includes 
only the Trademark Clearinghouse recommendations.   I will send the remainder
