RE: [gtld-council] Recommendation 20

I also envision a yes/no approach.  However, your question also raises
the possibility of a built-in "cooling off" period during which the
parties could - on their own - attempt to resolve the objection.   OHIM
uses this approach for Community Trade Mark opposition proceedings.  Its
period is two months and starts automatically after the opposition is
filed.  It's my understanding that 90% of CTM opposition proceedings are
settled and the majority during the cooling off period.

Perhaps something for the implementation team to consider?

Interesting question Bruce.  I will not try to answer for Avri but here
is my response.  With the exception of where contention is involved, I
have never envisioned the objection process as a dispute mediation
process, so I guess I see it more as a yes/no approach.  I am of course
curious as to what others think.
