I thought we were not going to approach this on a recommendation by
recommendation basis.
Maybe its just me, but simply using the MS Word tracking function
would
have made it easier to identify the changes made. In the case of
recommendations 3 and 5, it doesn't seem totally clear what the final
recommendation is, what text was added or deleted, and what comments
were moved elsewhere. In particular, I think the GAC text was
supposed
to be deleted in recommendation 3; is that correct? For
recommendation
5, is all the orange text just notes for elsewhere in the
document? If
that is the case, then 5 looks fine to me.
If I understood correctly in today's meeting, I thought that
recommendation 3 should be worded like the following (with my addition
in lower case font): ". . . Examples of these principles INCLUDE BUT
ARE NOT LIMITED TO THOSE FOUND IN THE TRADEMARK SECTION OF THE PARIS
CONVENTION, the right to free speech as contained in THE UNIVERSAL
DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL
AND
POLITICAL RIGHTS." Another alternative that seemed to be
acceptable is
this: ". . . Examples of these principles INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO
THOSE FOUND IN THE PARIS CONVENTION, THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF
HUMAN
RIGHTS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS."
(I think the point made by Robin was that, if you are going to call
out
trademarks, you should also call out free speech. Did I
misunderstand?
I have a minor point on 12 that I did not bring up regarding the
change
suggested by Olof. What do we mean by "the start of the APPLICATION
process". If that means prior to when applications may be submitted,
then I am not sure that is best. Wouldn't it be better if it happened
prior to the 4 month period prior to the application submissing
period?
In my opinion all of the recommendations are complete except the
following:
3 - We need to make sure we are agreed on the wording and I think it
would be helpful to understand how we will deal with the
recommendations
of the PRO-WG before finalizing this one. I believe we made excellent
progress on this today.
6 - We need to make sure we are agreed on the wording and I think it
would be helpful to understand how we will deal with the
recommendations
of the RN-WG regarding controversial names before finalizing this one.
I believe we made excellent progress on this today.
12 - Just need to agree on final wording; should be easy.
20 - I am okay with the current wording but it will be helpful to get
more information about the implementation process before finalizing
it.
21 - Are we waiting for proposed wording of a possible new
recommendation to deal with Alan's concern with regard to
incorporating
a requirement in the registry agreement about fulfillment of proposed
purpose?

Subject: [gtld-council] PDP Dec 05: Recommendation Chart &
Responses Required
Colleagues
Thank you very much on your continued work and support.
Please find attached an overview document which sets out in
ORANGE the text from today's meeting.
Could I ask you to please RESPOND to me as quickly as
possible with your indication of support for EACH of the
recommendations as they stand? I assume that everyone
supports the principles and the implementation guidelines as
they stand. They will be used by the implementation team to
prepare the presentations on the Implementation Plan for the
San Juan meeting.
Could you please respond in the following way:
Recommendation 1 -- support
Recommendation 2 -- need more work
Recommendation 3 -- support and so on
If you do this, I will be able to finalise significant
sections of the Report and provide assistance to the
implementation team on a large body of work that depends upon
the completion of policy recommendations.
I will also be able to advise you on the small elements that
need further discussion which will guide the sessions we put
together for the San Juan meeting.
Kind regards.
Liz
