RE: [npoc-voice] NPOC Proposal for IOC-RC protection & Reminder on NPOC call March 13

["Branzelle, Judy" <Judy.Branzelle@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two quick questions:


·         Do we know that the term " International Legal Personality' equates 
with "if an NGO reaches sufficient size and international recognition"

·         Would the coverage be for the name of the organization only?

Thanks to the folks on the ground in Costa Rica.

I agree with this proposition.  While it does appear vague, I believe that it 
adequately expresses that if an NGO reaches sufficient size and international 
recognition that it should receive protection/exemption in the domain naming 
space.  Thank you so much to our NPOC delegates in Costa Rica for working on 
these issues.

Additional reminder about the NPOC monthly call tomorrow.  Due to the ICANN 
meeting our call has been moved up in the day.  The NPOC call will be occurring 
Tuesday, March 13th at 11:00 local time (San Jose, Costa Rica).  This 
translates to 1:00pm EST.  The dialing instructions are attached.

Subject: [npoc-voice] NPOC Proposal for IOC-RC protection

Dear NPOC members:

Greetings from San José. As Acting Vice Chair, I would like to consult you on 
an important issue:

Context: Given the tension here on the IOC and Red Cross exemption (some of us 
call it protection) and the Drafting Committee Chair report to GNSO this 
morning - we find it wise, for the benefit of our current and future NPOC 
members, as well as the ICANN Community at large, that NPOC promotes and 
supports a) the proposal from the WG and b), in a broader manner, the generic 
extension of this protection based on avoiding the setting of a precedent, and 
based on objective and independantly verifiable criteria to define who or who 
does not qualify:

Proposition:
Would receive new gTLD protection: "Any organization operating globally in the 
public interest and enjoying International Legal Personality in the country 
where its Headquarters are located, and its members."

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Please respond by 
Tuesday 13 March 17:00 San José time.

Best regards,

Alain Berranger
