Re: [npoc-voice] NPOC Objection to Proposed European Union Policy with Negative Impact on Non-Profit Organizations

[Sam Lanfranco <lanfran@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your endorsement Olevie,

As part of the knowledge building in this dialogue I will share with you 
the following with regard to the European Parliament and Council 
discussions on this trademarks matter.
Apparently the European "trialogue process" that will discuss and pass 
on this issue is notorious for its lack of transparency, and is 
essentially a final step that takes place behind closed doors. This is 
why public opinions are all the more important at this point. The EP and 
EC may already know the nature of the concerns, but what they need to 
know is the depths of concern. This is unlike the ICANN multistakeholder 
processes. We have been advised to submit two separate emails to the 
relevant European Parliament and Council members. We have those names 
and email addresses should anyone within NPOC, or your constituency 
friends, wish to make additional submissions.
Sam Lanfranco, Chair
NPOC Policy Committee
