[PC-NCSG] Fwd: [council] Motion to Request an Issue Report on the protection of names and acronyms of IGOs

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

Thanks Mary ? during last night?s call, Thomas informed the DT of his motion. This is great and let?s try to work with him on this. I had a brief chat with him in San Jose and discussed that the PDP option is certainly the best one. Let me know how I can help you with this and I agree with Robin?s remark.
Cheers

Hello again everyone,

A similar motion to ours has just been proposed by Thomas Rickert, the NomCom appointee to the Contracted Parties House (CPH) (see below). In view of the deadline today for motions, I took the liberty of sending ours to the Council as well, noting the similarity and possible overlap, and suggesting that we would welcome discussing the matter with Thomas, with a view toward fusing the motions. In other words, I wanted to put a placeholder on the Council's agenda and get our motion in on time, just in case.

I'm not sure if Thomas' motion has the support of the CPH or not. If it does, and if we can agree on common enough ground to combine the motions, there is a good chance the request for an issue report will go through.

Cheers
Mary

[council] Motion to Request an Issue Report on the protection of names and acronyms of IGOs

St?phane, all,
please find below a motion that I had already announced in Costa Rica.

Best regards,
Thomas

Motion to Request an Issue Report on the protection of names and acronyms of IGOs

Whereas the ICANN Board has granted protection for the Red Cross and the IOC until the GNSO and GAC develop policy advice based on the global interest in its resolution of June 20, 2011 (2011.06.20.01);

Whereas a drafting team of the GNSO Council was established to look at additional top and second level protections for the IOC and the Red Cross/Red Crescent movement in the current round of new gTLDs in response to a GAC proposal based on the June 20, 2011 Board resolution;

Whereas the drafting team is limited to reviewing only top and second level protections for the IOC and Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement;

Whereas the GNSO Council and the GAC were asked in the letter dated March 11, 2012 by the ICANN Board to provide policy advice in response to a letter dated December 13, 2011 from intergovernmental Organizations on the protection of additional International Governmental Organization (IGO) names and acronyms both on the top and second level;

Whereas it is possible that more organizations might request special protection both at the top as well as at the second level for the first and subsequent rounds of applications for generic TLDs.

THEREFORE BE IT:


Resolved, the GNSO Council requests an Issue Report on protection of names and acronyms of IGOs at the top and second level for all new gTLDs.
