Brief Notes:

1. Updates to Statements of Interest (SOIs): No updates provided.

2. Development of Preliminary Recommendations:

a. Discuss agreed Sunrise Charter Question 8

-- There were some limited comments in the data, but don’t think they relate to the LRP.  Some issues around launch programs generally. 

-- Limited uptake of ALP.

-- People need to be clear what they are talking about.  Make sure this is clear in the discussion thread.

-- The responses said that some registries noted issues with the improved launch program, which is completely different.  

-- Staff will revise the summary table by reviewing the source material.

b. Discuss agreed Sunrise Charter Question 9, in conjunction with Proposal #13

-- Support for keeping the current rules.

-- Let mark holders decide where to register the mark in Sunrise.

-- Anecdote suggest problems -- scenarios where people gamed the system.

-- Solution penalizes the vast majority of genuine brand owners.

-- Don’t develop a system that goes further than it should.

-- Not every TLD is category-specific.

Proposal #13, Michael Karanicolas:

-- Where a top level domain is suggestive of a category of service, then the TM holder would have to prove use in that category of service.

-- The proposal doesn’t go far enough.

-- Could look at how SDRP could address the problem or some variant
