Item 5: International Olympics Committee /Red Cross Names Drafting Team (IOC/RC DT) (10 minutes)15 minutes)

On September 14, 2011, the GAC submitted a proposal to the GNSO Council to protect IOC and RC marks at the top and second level for all new gTLDs.

At its March 26 meeting, the GNSO Council approved the IOC/RC DT's recommendations (see resolution passed by the Council here http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions#20120326-1).  However, these recommendations did not contain any proposals with regard to the protection of these marks at the second level.

On April 10, 2012, the Board established the New gTLD Program Committee and granted it all of the powers of the Board to exercise Board-level authority for any and all issues that may arise relating to the New gTLD Program. The Committee met on 10 April 2012 and resolved not to update the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook at this time (see http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/prelim-report-new-gtld-10apr12-en.htm).

On April 12, 2012, the GNSO Council approved a motion requesting an Issue Report on protection of names and acronyms of IGOs at the top and second level for all new gTLDs.

In the light of this both the Board decision and the decision by the Council to request an Issue Report on the protection of names and acronyms at the top and second level for all new gTLDs , this discussion item aims to determine whether the Council should (i) continue the IOC/RC DT to recommend a complete response to the GAC proposal at the second level, (ii) disband the IOC/RC DT and prepare a response to the GAC proposal on its own, (iii) disband the IOC/RC DT until the potential new PDP progresses and delay any response to the GAC, or (iv) whether fresh new instructions should be given to the DT.
