NOTE: Topics DEFERRED from Sunrise discussion:
- Brand/trademark owner survey – Working Group will return to this discussion, to determine scope in light of INTA’s experience with its Cost Impact survey, and to determine target group(s) if survey goes forward
- Non-trademark/brand owner (i.e. registrant) survey – given the very broad scope, Working Group will return to this discussion following agreement on how to proceed with the other data suggestions
- Outreach to public interest groups and other trade associations – for the same reason as the registrant survey, Working Group will return to this discussion following agreement on how to proceed with the other data suggestions
ACTION ITEMS FROM TRADEMARK CLAIMS DISCUSSION:
- Working Group members to review Trademark Claims collated data proposal from this week for further discussion on the mailing list and on the next call
- Working Group members to consider if, for those suggestions concerning URS data, the collection should also include UDRP cases at this stage and what other uses may be made of the data for the future
