It also looks like each constituency will appoint 2-3 people to serve on this group and that much of its work will be done in Seoul next week.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#002fd7" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #002fd7"><u><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg07701.html">http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg07701.html</a></u></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg07709.html">http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg07709.html</a></font></div><br> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div>We should begin to formulate our constituency response as soon as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>I understand there are a number of changes in the trademark policies in the DAGv3 from previous versions. Now it is in the hands of the GNSO members until 14 December to work through the unresolved issues. This will be an important topic at the GNSO sessions on the weekend, so we should try to have our position formulated before then to the extent possible. We will spend some time on Constituency Day discussing these issues, but that is too late to be useful for participants in the weekend sessions.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be very helpful if those members of the constituency who have reviewed the new DAG v3 could provide the rest of us with some guidance on how NCUC should respond moving forward in light of the Board's letter to the GNSO. </div><div><br></div><div>Especially those who would like to represent NCUC in this new GNSO work group, can you please provide us with some understanding of what the issues are that remain and what NCUC's position should be on those issues?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br></div></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>IP JUSTICE</div><div>Robin Gross, Executive Director</div><div>1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA</div><div>p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451</div><div>w: <a href="http://www.ipjustice.org">http://www.ipjustice.org</a> e: <a href="mailto:robin@ipjustice.org">robin@ipjustice.org</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
