2017-12-13 Review of all Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in all gTLDs PDP WG

PROPOSED AGENDA

Working Group Observers are welcome to attend. The call will focus on the URS Rules that apply to every URS proceeding, and we will be joined by guest speakers Doug Isenberg and John Berryhill, who will share their experiences with URS proceedings with the group.

See below in Background Documents:

(1) a single document that compiles all the three current documents relating to the Working Group’s scoping of a review of the URS (i.e. a draft list of suggested topics based on the approach suggested on the 30 November call, an accompanying table cross-referencing the topic suggestions to their respective URS Charter questions, and the co-chairs’ joint statement on URS review); and (2) the slides on the URS Rules that were presented earlier today during the Working Group’s call with special guests Doug Isenberg and John Berryhill. 

For (1): we have included a note that the single document merely combines all the three documents that were circulated, without edits, and with the intent that this continue to be a Discussion Draft rather than authoritative documents agreed to by the Working Group. We hope this compilation will be useful to the group’s discussion on the next call on 20 December. 

For (2): we have added a footnote to the preliminary slide, based on Doug’s comment during the call earlier today, that while the URS is mandatory for all New gTLDs it has also been voluntarily adopted by some ccTLDs and “legacy” gTLDs.
