<p class="">Over the past year, Public Interest Registry has been developing a highly focused policy that addresses systemic, large scale copyright infringement – the "Systemic Copyright Infringement Alternative Dispute Resolution Policy" or SCDRP.</p>
<p class="">Given certain concerns that have been recently raised in the public domain, Public Interest Registry is pausing its SCDRP development process to reflect on those concerns and consider forward steps. We will hold any further development of
the SCDRP until further notice.</p>

<div class="">Thank you for this response, Sally.
<br class="">
<br class="">Before all the potential questions can be asked, which is the prerequisite for your provision of responsive answers, the largest question is where is the statement of what the Copyright ADRP will be -- in at least as much detail
as that for the UDRP (see
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr/udrp-en" class="">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr/udrp-en</a> ) on which it is purportedly modeled (and noting that copyright law is substantially more complex
than trademark, which likely introduces additional considerations)?
<br class="">
<br class="">Until we see at least the same level of detail for both the Policy itself and the Rules under which NAF would provide administration it is not even possible to formulate a full list of questions that should be addressed in
advance of an implementation decision. So I hope you will focus on providing that basic level of detail as a priority matter.
<br class="">
<br class="">I look forward to working on this issue in a constructive manner.
<br class="">

<br class="">Hi everyone,
<br class="">
<br class="">I just wanted to chime in here to say that I've been following this discussion closely and to recognize that a number of important points have been made about this issue. I don’t have all the answers just yet but am
working to get greater clarity on where this proposal stands.
<br class="">
<br class="">Thanks for your patience,

<br class="">I also agree.
<br class="">
<br class="">And add that the absence of any comment to date on this from either ISOC or PIR is, I hope, because a response is being considered and the current position reversed. But at least a holding response would be a good idea, the
current silence is concerning.

<br class="">Good to see some clarity from this list. As I hope is obvious I fully
<br class="">agree with the need for PIR to engage in an open inclusive process as
<br class="">has been eloquently described.
<br class="">
<br class="">I hope that PIR is encouraged to engage to build that dialogue.

<br class="">agree with Brandt's comment below.

<br class="">PIR's "About Us" states their purpose is to represent the public and
<br class="">to give people "a powerful voice" - it is clear that "the public"
<br class="">(that's us) are not convinced this step represents the interests of
<br class="">the public and that there are plenty of public groups who want a voice in this issue.
<br class="">
<br class="">PIR must abandon commitment to the initiative, go right back to the
<br class="">start, open a comprehensive consultative process, with published
<br class="">submissions and public discussion, give time for debate, publish a
<br class="">position paper outlining their response and proposed course of
<br class="">action, allow for feedback on the position paper, and ONLY THEN be in
<br class="">a position to move. It may be that this will lead to abandoning the
<br class="">proposal, or additional safeguards to handle legitimate concerns, but
<br class="">what is certain is that whatever happens will have had more thought put into it.
<br class="">

<br class="">For those who may have missed it, ISOC's Public Interest Registry
<br class="">is planning to establish by the end of the quarter a new
<br class="">compulsory private arbitration system that would allow copyright
<br class="">owners to cancel .org domain names based on allegations of copyright infringement:
<br class="">
<br class="">http://domainincite.com/21517-the-pirate-bay-likely-to-be-sunk-as-
<br class="">or
<br class="">g-adopts-udrp-for-copyright
<br class="">
<br class="">This is also being pushed as an international best practice
<br class="">standard for other domain registries to adopt:
<br class="">
<br class="">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/02/healthy-domains-initiative-c
<br class="">en
<br class="">sorship-through-shadow-regulation
<br class="">
<br class="">This hardly seems like a measure that's in the "public interest".
<br class="">What do ISOC members think about this proposal?
