ICANN Board dismisses NCSG reconsideration request on ICANN violating process by adopting TM+50 policy

[Robin Gross]

ICANN New gtld program committee adopted BGC's revised rationale dismissing NCSG's request for reconsideration.  We should file for an Independent Review Panel determination and ask ICANN and/or the arbitrators to waive our costs, which are otherwise prohibitive.  There is no accountability "within" ICANN, as this situation has demonstrated.  We need to go outside of ICANN to get any constraints on ICANN's lawlessness.  - Robin

Revised BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3

Whereas, the Noncommercial Users Stakeholders Group's ("NCSG") Reconsideration Request, Request 13-3, sought reconsideration of the staff action of 20 March 2013 regarding "Trademark Claims Protections for Previously Abused Names".

Whereas, the BGC considered the issues raised in Reconsideration Request 13-3, as well as the issues brought to and discussed by the GNSO Council regarding some of the language in the BGC's Recommendation.

Whereas, the BGC revoked its initial recommendation, and issued a Revised BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3, which ultimately recommended that no further action was warranted with respect to Request 13-3.

Resolved (2013.07.02.NG01), the New gTLD Program Committee adopts the Revised BGC Recommendation on Reconsideration Request 13-3 <http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/governance/reconsideration/recommendation-ncsg-25jun13-en.pdf> [PDF, 142 KB].

Resolved (2013.07.02.NG02), the New gTLD Program Committee directs ICANN's President and CEO to assure that the issues raised within Request 13-3 are brought to the ongoing community discussion on policy versus implementation within ICANN.
