<b>Subject:</b> Update from The New gTLD Program Committee on the Red
Cross/Red Crescent and IOC Issues<br><br>
<br><br>
Dear Stéphane,<br><br>
I wanted to reach out to you and the GNSO Council to let you know about
an issue of interest to the GNSO that the New gTLD Program Committee
addressed this week: the protection of Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC
names. The Committee passed a resolution yesterday requesting that
the GNSO consider a proposed solution for the first round to protect at
the second level the names of Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC, consistent
with the GAC advice to the Board.<br><br>
We have been apprised of, and appreciate, the significant work currently
underway by the GNSO’s IOC/RC Drafting Team, and the potential PDP under
consideration. We crafted the resolution in a way that recognises
that GNSO work is ongoing. The resolution and the rationale will be
posted next Monday.<br><br>
The Committee adopted this resolution now, rather than wait until
Toronto, to provide sufficient time for the GNSO to develop its views on
this request taking into account the timeline for the first
round. It is important that this issue is resolved early next
year so that additional protections, if they are adopted, are in place
for the first round. As a result, the Committee is seeking the
GNSO’s response by January 31, 2013.<br><br>
We look forward to receiving the GNSO's response and are available to
discuss this issue in further detail in Toronto. <br><br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
Cherine Chalaby<br>
