Question 1 (Final Charter Questions for Trademark Claims)
Is the Trademark Claims service having its intended effect? Consider the following questions specifically in the context both of a Claims Notice as well as a Notice of Registered Name:
a) Is the Trademark Claims service having its intended effect of deterring bad-faith registrations and providing Claims Notice to domain name applicants?
b) Is the Trademark Claims service having any unintended consequences, such as deterring good-faith domain name applications?
Notes:
1. Statements of Interest: no updates.
2. Select Sub Team Leader:
-- Cynthia King nominated Griffin Barnett, who is considering the nomination.
-- Kristine Dorrain is considering whether to volunteer.
-- Griffin and Kristin may consider whether to offering to Co-Lead the Sub Team.
3. Introduction to the survey analysis tool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aBw-dW2gBzvBfhUgl3u6ShWlPZt0yyNF-Vs1qmUuIjg/edit#gid=381275905
-- First tab (far left) is the content table.
-- First column is the consolidated data from the survey results.
Example: Actual & Potential Registrant Response:
-- Column A: Questions based on the refined charter questions.
-- Column B: Actual survey question (but without the logic).
-- Some questions are asked of both actual and potential registrants, and some are related.
-- Column C: Sub Team's draft question.
-- Column D: Actual registrant response.
-- Column E: Potential registrant response
-- Column F: Findings from Analysis Group.
-- Look at the table -- there are some dividers -- noting what relates to Trademark Claims and Sunrise.
Discussion:
-- The table ties back to the agreed charter questions. Once the analysis is done there may be information here that may be relevant to other charter questions.
-- First, go through survey results.
-- Then how or whether the survey results answer the agreed questions.
-- How the survey results may answer other survey questions.
-- Goal is to answer the charter questions. Don't get bogged down in analyzing the data. Focus on column A and how we get the answers.
-- Question: What is in the tabs? That is the raw data/detailed responses.
4. Begin survey analysis:
Second tab: Actual & Potential Registrants
Column A: (reading the questions)
Discussion:
-- Based on the results it seems pretty clear that only half of the people who were not actual registrants answered the question about the notice correctly. Effectiveness and claims notice.
-- Note that some respondents seem to have been deterred (worried).
-- Claims notice: overarching question -- background question -- how much deterrence is acceptable?
-- #4/#5: That is what row 14 is answering. Is the notice intimidating, not the service.
-- Look at the survey analysis group outside of ICANN -- the meaning what the notice, half of the answers the distractor answers (wrong/unhelpful). Didn't understand the notice.
-- Proposal: Take question 1, sub parts a and b, study those questions, and compare against the 3 tabs.
