>>
>> Detailed Information
>>
>> Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose
>>
>>
>> As a result of IOC/RCRC being granted top level protections for the first
>>
>> round of the new gTLD program, the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team was further
>> tasked to consider whether the same protections should be afforded at the
>>
>> second level prior to the first delegation of a new gTLD. Since the
>> beginning of 2012, the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team (DT) has deliberated about
>> possible second level protections and how to respond to the GAC's request
>>
>> for protections.
>> The DT now submits the recommendations formulated by the DT and makes them
>>
>> available for public comment before final submission to the GNSO Council.
>>
>> Note from the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team Chair:
>> These recommendations are being posted at the request of the Drafting
>> Team.
>> Although some members of the Drafting Team believe that a PDP is not
>> necessary at this time to grant second level protections for the IOC/RCRC,
>>
>> a consensus of the DT does in fact agree that a PDP represents an
>> appropriate compromise on this issue. With respect to the Recommendations
>>
>> #2 and #3 (temporary protection at second level), there is strong support
>>
>> amongst the Drafting Team for those recommendations with opposition from
>> the Non-commercial Stakeholder Group and Thomas Rickert. A copy of
>> statements from certain constituencies, stakeholder groups, and/or
>> individuals is attached as appendices to the recommendations.
>>
>> Section II: Background
>>
>>
>> The ICANN Board had requested policy advice from the GNSO Council and the
>>
>> GAC on whether special protections should be afforded to the RCRC, IOC
>> and/or IGOs. Specifically, in its Singapore resolution, the Board
>> authorized the President and CEO to implement the New gTLD Program "which
>>
>> includes the following elements: "the 30 May 2011 version of the Applicant
>>
>> Guidebook, subject to the revisions agreed to with the GAC on 19 June
>> 2011, including:
>> ...(b) incorporation of text concerning protection for specific requested
>>
>> Red Cross and IOC names for the top level only during the initial
>> application round, until the GNSO and GAC develop policy advice based on
>> the global public interest....."
>>
>> During September 2011, the GAC also sent advice to the GNSO with a
>> proposal for granting second level protections based upon the protections
>>
>> afforded to IOC/RCRC at the first level. In the same month, section
>> 2.2.1.2.3 was added to the latest version of the new gTLD Applicant
>> Guidebook dated 19 September 2011.
>>
>> As a result of the GAC proposal submitted to the GNSO, the GNSO Council
>> created a call for volunteers to form a drafting team about creating a
>> response to the GAC. The IOC/RCRC Drafting Team was formed has since
>> created a set of recommendations for protecting the IOC/RCRC names at the
>>
>> second level and includes an outline for a response to the GAC from the
>> GNSO. The Drafting Team now wishes to solicit feedback from the community
>>
>> prior to submission of the recommendations to the GNSO Council.
