Protection of Intl Organization Names in new gTLDs ALAC Presentation Brian Peck

Red Cross/IOC Names Update Since Costa Rica Meeting On 26 March, GNSO Council approved the IOC/RC DT's recommendations to protect the Red Cross/IOC names On 10 April, ICANN Boards New GTLD Committee declined to adopt the GNSO recommendations at this time – The Board stated that although the substantive recommendations of the GNSO are well taken, it had concerns about timing. 2

Red Cross/IOC Names Update Since Costa Rica Meeting In 11 March letter, ICANN Board requested the GAC/GNSO to provide policy advice on whether to protect IGO names at the top and second levels of new gTLDs – The GNSO has deferred any action on the Board request until the GAC first provides its policy advice to the Board GNSO Council requested an Issue Report on special protections for international organization names and acronyms at the top and second level for all new gTLDs – Includes the Red Cross, IOC and IGOs 3

Red Cross/IOC Names – Current Status The temporary moratorium for Red Cross and IOC names at the top level for new gTLDs will expire after the initial round There are currently no special protections provided for the Red Cross/IOC names at the second level Preliminary Issue Report published and public comment forum opened on 4 June GNSO Council sent a letter to the GAC on 7 June informing that DT is continuing its work in evaluating the GAC proposal and possible recommendations 4

Preliminary Issue Report Objective – Define the type of organizations that should be evaluated in any related PDP for any such protection at the top and second level – Describe how the PDP could be structured to analyze whether ICANN should adopt policies to protect such organizations at the top and second level Scope: Includes an evaluation of whether to protect the names of both international government and NGOs at the top and second levels of new gTLDs 5

Preliminary Issue Report Currently available protections at the top level – Review and objection process currently underway for applied-for strings – Legal rights objection may be applicable to IGOs – Independent Objector – PDDRP for holders of a word mark specifically protected by statute or treaty Currently available protections at the second level – Trademark Clearinghouse, Trademark Claims process and sunrise protections – PDDRP – Uniform Rapid Suspension System Staff recently submitted Board-directed briefing paper on issues related to concerns over need for 2 nd level defensive registrations in view of current protections 6

Preliminary Issue Report – Suggested Issues to Explore in PDP Definition of international organizations Quantifying the entities to be considered for special protection Scope of protections under international treaties/laws for Red Cross and IOC names Distinguishing between Red Cross/IOC from other international organizations Establishing an objective set of criteria to determine which international organizations would qualify for any special protections 7

Preliminary Issue Report: Staff Recommendations GNSO Council should consider whether or not to initiate a PDP as an approach to develop any additional policy advice in response to Board requests on additional protections If PDP initiated: – suggest that scope be limited to: 1) IGOs and 2) international organizations that are not-for-profit and are protected by treaties and national laws in multiple jurisdiction – Consider minimum required timeline and work load issues to complete a PDP, and that additional resources may be necessary to develop recommendations relevant to types of protection at top and/or 2 nd level in a timely fashion 8

Next Steps Drafting team working session scheduled on 27 June Public Comment reply period closes 16 July The ICANN community is encouraged to participate, and to comment on whether a PDP should be focused on additional protections for: – (i) only international organizations that are not-for-profit AND are afforded unique protections under international treaties or national laws in multiple jurisdictions, and/or (ii) all international governmental organizations Once public comment period closes – Staff will review and publish public comment summary report – Staff to publish and submit Final Issue Report to Council – Council will consider whether to initiate a PDP 9
