DRAFT COMMENT - GNSO Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs Policy Development Process Phase 1 Final Recommendations for ICANN Board Consideration

[kathy at DNRC.TECH]

  Tomslin and Pedro,
Tx you for your work and I'm glad we have an extension.

Have you had a chance to closely review /ANNEX D, WORKING GROUP  
MEMBERS' MINORITY STATEMENT ON TMCH FINAL RECOMMENDATION #1/?   It's  
Item #10 in the Table of Contents.

It is signed by two longtime members of the NCSG: Mitch Stoltz of EFF  
and Michael Karanicolas of Yale Information Society Project. They  
participated actively in the RPM Working Group and for them to help  
draft and sign a Minority Statement means they are deeply concerned  
about the way an issue was resolved.

I note that Rebecca Tushnet is also a signatory of the Minority  
Statement. She is a professor of international trademark law at  
Harvard Law School and an expert in free expression and trademark  
law.  (We heard her name mentioned numerous time by the US Supreme  
Court in the Booking.com oral argument for the arguments of her  
"Tushnet Brief.")

She is an expert in intellectual property and "fair use" which  
examines when IP is going too far and imposing on the rights of  
others, including noncommercial speakers. 

The Minority Report reflects a disagreement in the RPM Working Group  
on the issue of "word marks" and "design marks" in the RPM WG.  Our  
members have noted some very serious implications.  /DO YOU WANT TO  
TALK TO THE DRAFTERS/SIGANTORIES OF THIS MINORITY STATEMENT AS YOU  
PREPARED OUR COMMENTS?  SHOULD NCSG BE ECHOING THEIR CONCERNS?/

Best, Kathy
