RE: Clarified SRSU from Neuman - Was - RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] Revised SRSU text

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

My only concern about the rewording is that some may consider the JN2
exception to now be SRMU, which everyone had fits about when I
referenced in the earlier version.

As much of a shock as this may be to Avri, who has been grouping all
contracted parties unnecessarily together, the JN2 proposal talks in
general about a Single Registrant Single User and makes no reference to
the type of entity that can apply so long as the qualifications are met.
The qualifications are based on use and not who you are.  This is Why
Kristina's version contains the following language:

"And still others [KR note: I think we need to identify who - Jeff N.,
this is your text] presented a case for an SRSU exception to apply to
any entity that could meet the basic requirements where the only user of
the second-level names is the registry itself [regardless of whether the
registry is a trademark owner or non-governmental entity]."

I would reword that a little to:

"And still other proposals, such as JN2, presented a case for an SRSU
exception to apply to any entity that could meet the stringent use
requirements where the only user of the second-level names is the
registry itself, its employees, agents and subcontractors, irrespective
of whether the registry is a "brand" or "non-governmental organization."

I am not advocating on the part of any specific NGO, but rather for the
class of entity called NGO.  I am not at this time an advocate for any
possible applicant though I do give advice to some.

I do not need to name a specific possible applicant who may be
interested in such an exception - if people have not mentioned their
possible applications I am certainly not going to mention some
possibility so that the Rrs and RSP can chase down their business.  

WG positions are not based on specific applicants, no matter how much
you and other members of the contracted parties want to make it so.

I merely have to indicated that on conversations with several NGOs, an
interest has been mentioned on such an avenue being open to them and
that they did not necessarily want to rely on an exception based solely
on famous marks, though some do accept that a famous mark exception
might serve their needs.
