RE: [gnso-udrp-dt] Action Items From Today's UDRP-DT Call

[<Mary.Wong@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another academic who is familiar with the UDRP is Eric Goldman (Santa
Clara). I know him quite well and can ask him informally if he'd be
available and would like to participate.
 
It's true that neither Michaels F nor G have done much recent academic
work on UDRP issues - Geist does track studies and updates though. I can
also ask him if folks would like, although maybe I won't if we agree on
asking Konstantinos and Eric.
 
Let me know,
Mary

Margie, et. al.,


In socializing the names of the people we talked about inviting to
speak I have come to think we should try to offer more breadth and less
duplication of view.  

In that vein, I would second Jeff Neuman's suggestion that Konstantinos
Komaitis be invited.  

Further, I think Jonathan Cohen should be added, too, perhaps in place
of either Geist or Froomkin.

Cheers,

Berard

Dear All,

Here is a brief summary of the action items arising from today’s call
related to the UDRP Webinar scheduled for May 10th:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->I will reach out the
UDRP providers to clarify my request for recommendations for speakers. 
Specifically, the request  was intended to identify individuals  that
quantitatively had the most appearances before the provider in each
of the categories.   This clarification seeks to use objective rather
than subjective metrics to identify speaks in each categories
(panelists, respondents, complainants, etc.).
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->I will contact the
Registrar Stakeholder Group to identify up to 3 individuals from
registrars which implement the largest numbers of UDRP cases, from which
one speaker would be selected that could speak on behalf of the
registrar stakeholder group on issues that are of concern to the RrSG as
a whole, and not reflective of only the views of his/her registrar.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->With regard to
selection of the speaker from the academic perspective,  the DT
discussed Mary’s recommendations of Michael Froomkin (Miami) and Michael
Geist (Ottawa)—it was noted that these individuals may no longer be
conducting research/analysis on the UDRP and that their publications on
the topic may be dated.   The DT is seeking to confirm this assumption
and/or identify other academics with recent work on the UDRP.  [Mary-
perhaps you can elaborate on your understanding of their recent work?]
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Since several
providers were unable to provide recommendations by today’s call due to
the Easter holidays,  the DT deferred reviewing recommended speakers,
and will finalize the list on Friday’s call.  To date-  the following
names have been received:
Hong Kong Arbitration Centre suggests:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->UDRP panelists
Mr. Christopher TO Mr. Anthony WU
Attorneys Ms. Gabriela Kennedy  (Represents Complainants) 
National Arbitration Forum (NAF) suggests:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Panelists: 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->Sally Able 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->David Safran 
<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Complainants (outside
counsel)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->Paul Mc Grady
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->Andy Coombs
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->David Steele
<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Complainants (inside
counsel)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->Renee Reuter
<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Respondents (outside
counsel)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->§  <!--[endif]-->John Berryhill 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->The DT is considering
including a representative from ICANN Compliance (Khalil Rasheed) to
participate in the Webinar, to briefly share its experience of issues
that arise with regard to implementation of the UDRP.  

The next call is this Friday Apr 29 at 1500 UTC due to the need to send
out invitations to speakers this week.

Best regards,

Margie
