Joint ccNSO/GNSO Council Meeting
Time: 1230 - 1400
Location: Lenana
Author: Rudi Vansnick, Ron Sherwood
Amazing statement from Rod Bekstrom at the ccNSO session with Peter and Rod : Rod states that the majority of financial support (funding) to ICANN comes from North America and GTLDs ... he forgets that tose buying the domain names are not all located in North America and as such this statement is not correct. Chris Disspain corrected immediately the wording and was confirmed by Rod. |

Trademark Protection in New gTLD's

Review of new gTLD IP protection processes. Discussion of IP Clearinghouse, and then uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure, as well as some time spent on Post Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure. |
ICANN has been accused of delving into Trademark Resolution – this is clearly not so – it is an attempt at avoiding not doing anything and thus an attempt at facilitating the protection of rights holders through facilitated and streamlined external processes.
Zahid Jamil, representing the Business Constituency (BC) pushed for BC’s minority statement as contained in the STI working group report. As expected, his opinion was not entirely shared by other panellists, since this is a minority opinion.
The tension which had been apparent in previous meetings dealing with the subject, specifically the IRT meetings in Sydney and in Seoul was absent from the session and the congregation appeared closer to consensus as a whole than ever before thanks to the wonderful work of consensus building by all parties.
In conclusion, it appeared as though the new gTLD process was slowly but surely moving forward. |
NARALO Monthly Meeting
Time: 2300 - 2345
Location: Offsite
Author: Darlene Thompson
The NARALO monthly meeting went very well. We found out that Rod Beckstrom joined ISOC San Francisco and so is now part of at large! This can be nothing but good. |
The NARALO is still working on their At-Large Brochure. The English version will be ready in 4-6 weeks with Spanish and French ready by Brussels.
Possible meeting locations for the next ICANN meeting in North America were discussed. Since it is scheduled for March, only warm locations would be appropriate so Honolulu was recommended and Seth Reiss will contact the Hawaiian tourist bureau again in this regard. |
hi,
I try to add my report but the system doesn't allow me.

New gTLD process – At Large report
Author: Olivier Crépin-Leblond
Review of new gTLD IP protection processes. Discussion of IP Clearinghouse, and then uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure, as well as some time spent on Post Delegation Dispute Resolution Procedure.
Of note, most comments submitted by the audience had been discussed within the STI working group, but with so few members of the STI working group on the panel, some questions went unanswered, with Mike Silber needing to fill-in with some somehow generic answers.

Oops, the title to my contribution above should have been: Trademark Protection in New gTLDs, 16:00-17:00 and not New gTLD process. Sorry.

New gTLD Update and EOI Panel Discussion
I'll let someone else provide a report of the session's contents and provide my (biased) feedback as a panel participant.
The panel mysteriously arranged itself in a polarized fashion, with opposite views held by opposite ends of the linear table. Panellists found the room to be distributing itself in a similar fashion. With the debate being (in my opinion) slightly sterile, a post session discussion among the panellists and the moderator reached the conclusion that a possible future panel discussion might be more productive by adopting a crescent-shaped panel with panellists being able to see each other and therefore being able to interact with each other, and a moderator having a direct line of sight of every panellists with no difficulty. The linear panel appeared to stop the flow of the debate and made an possible interesting discussion sound tedious at the end.
