> Below are elements of the approved charter that the WG has been

>
> As part of its deliberations on the first issue as to whether there  
> is a need for special protections for IGO and INGO organizations at  
> the top and second level in all gTLDs (existing and new), the PDP  
> WG should, at a minimum, consider the following elements as  
> detailed in the Final Issue Report:
>
>
>
> ?        Quantifying the Entities whose names  may be Considered  
> for Special Protection
>
> ?        Evaluating the Scope of Existing Protections under  
> International Treaties/Laws for the IGO-INGO organizations concerned;
>
> ?        Establishing Qualification Criteria for Special Protection  
> of  names of the IGO and INGO organizations concerned;
>
> ?        Distinguishing any Substantive Differences between the  
> RCRC and IOC designations from those of other IGO-INGO Organizations.

>
> Should the PDP WG reach consensus on a recommendation that there is  
> a need for special protections at the top and second levels in all  
> existing and new gTLDs for IGO and INGO organization identifiers,  
> the PDP WG is expected to:
>
>
>
> ?        Develop specific recommendations for appropriate special  
> protections, if any, for the identifiers of any or all IGO and INGO  
> organizations at the first and second levels.
>
> ?        Determine the appropriate protections, if any, for RCRC  
> and IOC names at the second level for the initial round of new  
> gTLDs and make recommendations on the implementation of such  
> protection.
>
> ?        Determine whether the current special protections being

> Questions to Consider:
>
>
>
> 1.      What kinds of entities should be considered for Special  
> Protections at the top and second level in all gTLDs (existing and  
> new)?
>
> Group View:
>
> 2.      What facts or law are you aware of which might form an  
> objective basis for Special Protections under International  
> Treaties/Domestic Laws for IGOs, INGOs as they may relate to gTLDs  
> and the DNS?
>
> Group View:
>
> 3.      Do you have opinions about what criteria should be used for  
> Special Protection of the IGO and INGO identifiers?
>
> Group View:
>
> 4.      Do you think there are substantive differences between the  
> RCRC/IOC and IGOs and INGOs?
>
> Group View:
>
> 5.      Should appropriate Special Protections at the top and  
> second level for the identifiers of IGOs and INGOs be made?
>
> Group View:
>
> 6.      In addition, should Special Protections for the identifiers  
> of IGOs and INGOs at the second level be in place for the initial  
> round of new gTLDs?
>
> Group View:
>
> 7.      Should the current Special Protections provided to the RCRC  
> and IOC names at the top and second level of the initial round for  
> new gTLDs be made permanent in all gTLDs and if not, what specific  
> recommendations for appropriate Special Protections (if any) do you  
> have?
>
> Group View:
>
> 8.      Do you feel existing RPMs or proposed RPMs for the new gTLD  
> program are adequate to offer protections to IGO and INGOs  
> (understanding that UDRP and TMCH may not be eligible for all IGOs  
> and INGOs)?
