ICANN Response Clause Samples

ICANN Response. Following the IRT report, the Board sent an October 12, 2009 letter to the GNSO Council for rapid review, saying it would implement several IRT recommendations unless the GNSO Council voted otherwise.62 On October 28, the GNSO called for participants from all stakeholder groups to a broad “Special Trademark Issues” working group (STI). The STI worked to produce a consensus report representing tradeoffs and compromises among positions. Its December 11, 2009 report63 was approved by the GNSO Council, which “resolve[d] that the STI proposal to create a Trademark Clearinghouse and a Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure as described in the STI Report are more effective and implementable solutions than the corresponding staff implementation models that were described in memoranda accompanying the Draft Applicant Guidebook Version 3.64 The GNSO posted the STI report for public comment between its December 2009 meeting and January 26, 2010. ICANN revised the IP clearinghouse and Uniform Rapid Suspension System proposals in the Draft Applicant Guidebook to reflect the STI recommendations and posted these new proposals for public comment on February 15, 2010. At the March 2010 meeting, the Board voted to analyze public comments on the new proposals and to create guidelines accordingly to add to the Draft Applicant Guidebook for new gTLD applicants. The Board also resolved to analyze public comment on the PDDRP and to “synthesize those comments, as appropriate,” in the DAG.65 No resolution was made on the Whois requirement, though on July 26, ICANN issued a call for “independent experts, law enforcement representatives and global policy experts” 61 NCUC, “Comments on Procedural Aspects of the IRT Final Report – A Suggested Roadmap for Moving Forward,” July 6, 2009, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/lists/irt-final-report/pdfYaEzv0si9f.pdf. 62 GNSO, “Letter from ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ \& ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Thrush to GNSO Council,” October 12, 2009, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/correspondence/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-to-gnso-council-12oct09-en.pdf. 63 GNSO, “Special Trademark Issues Review Team Recommendations,” Special Trademark Issues Work Team, December 11, 2009, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/issues/sti/sti-wt-recommendations-11dec09-en.pdf. 64 GNSO, “GNSO Council Minutes,” December 17, 2009, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/meetings/minutes-council- 17dec09-en.htm. 65 ICANN, “Adopted Board Resolutions --- Nairobi,” March 12, 2010, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/en/minutes/resolutions-12mar10-en.htm. to conduct a Whois policy review in line w...
