<div>Hi Klaus,</div>

<div>The link you shared isn’t working. If you could provide
another one, I’d appreciate it. It’d also be helpful if you
shared the study you referred to.</div>

Greetings. All webinars are recorded and available online.
The first webinar in DC is available at:

<br>
All webinars will be available online as audio recordings
shortly after they took place.<br>
<br>
In addition I can only support what Lori has mentioned.
From a operational concerns perspective, IP is a highly
relevant and important topic. I was myself surprised when
some basic research did show how much Civil Society
organizations are afflicted in their work through
infringements against their domains and IP. (You can find
more info on this in my presentation during the first
webinar). It is right that Civil Society is concerned
about most important topics like human rights, what the
Pathfinder initiative and the webinars are concerned about
is that Civil Society can use the DNS fairly and securely
without having their rights infringed and their voices
stifled. In other words, we try to make sure that the
microphone is working so that others can use it to call
out the messages. From this point of view I find the mix
of civil society online, domain names and brand protection
everything else then just a little odd, I find it
essential in order to ensure that Civil Society can do its
important job in the first place. <span

<br>
I am also happy to let you know that we are planning for
2015 besides a number of additional regional webinars,
capacity and awareness building events, 2 webinars that
are specific to Civil Society and IP. We will make details
for these events available shortly<br>
<br>
Yours<br>

<div>This is precisely why I am interested to hear what
this section of the webinar will include. You’ve (as
have others before) certainly made a case for why
protection of brands is important to the operations of
NGOs. The thing is; the balance you refer to would never
really be achieved if the arguments made by members of
the IPC on Policy Development Process (PDP) working
groups were to go unchecked without active pushback from
those representing civil society interests in gTLD
policy development. That is generally how some semblance
of a balance is achieved. More often than not, it does
feel like an uphill struggle.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So please do forgive me if I am a bit sceptical on
how this webinar will be presenting what the policy
issues of importance to civil society are. To get a feel
for how what you describe is presented to CS
organisations within the context of the whole webinar,
it’d be helpful to have a recording of it archived
somewhere. So are there plans to have the webinar
recorded?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again.</div>
