Hi Mary,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for that clear and comprehensive note. It fully reflects my personal understanding of NPOC's position except for temporary reservation. That said, we must join the NCSG consensus, as Avri has just explained to me - silence is agreement as per our Charter. I do not recall the NCSG-PC meeting but it was probably for me to miss.</div>

<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">Everyone, just a few additional notes on this topic:</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">- throughout the Drafting Team (DT) process, NCSG representatives consistently brought up the broader issue of protections for international governmental organizations (IGOs - as requested by some of these to the ICANN Board recently) and other international non-governmental organizations (as brought up by NPOC members and representatives at the ICANN Costa Rica meeting and this listserv, among other places.)</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">- in the end, the DT thought that recommending a PDP that specifically includes IGOs and other organizations went beyond its original mandate, which was to deal with IOC and IFRC names. Nonetheless, the transcripts and recordings of the DT meetings will show that the DT acknowledged that since a Final Issue Report on the IGO issue is going to be presented to the GNSO Council, it is up to the Council to decide (1) whether to launch a PDP of whichever type/scope; and (2) the precise scope of such a PDP, e.g. whether to include IGOs and other organizations, as urged by NPOC and some NCUC members.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">- at that point, the ICANN community can (and should) weigh in on the merits of a PDP that is broader in scope than what the DT is specifically recommending w.r.t. the IOC/IFRC issue it was tasked to examine.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">- NCSG representatives also consistently made it clear that most NCSG members (i.e. NPOC and NCUC) support a PDP, and that many support a broader PDP beyond just the IOC/IFRC issue.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">Finally, NCSG representatives submitted a formal minority statement to the DT report. It has been included in the full DT report and can be found here: </font><font color="#0000ff" size="3" face="Lucida Grande"><i><a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-iocrc-dt/msg00605.html" target="_blank"><u>http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-iocrc-dt/msg00605.html</u></a></i></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="3"></font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I hope the above clarifies the positions that have been taken, on behalf of the entire NCSG membership, by our representatives to the DT. In sum, we have said that NCSG supports a PDP (and that many of our members from both Constituencies support a broad PDP that includes more than just the IFRC and IOC names), and that we oppose a temporary reservation/block on the IFRC and IOC names in the interim.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">These positions are consistent with the discussion that has taken place on this listserv, reflect what we believe to be the general consensus among our members - all of which have had equal and ample opportunity to weigh in on this issue in the past few months - and have been approved by the NCSG's Policy Committee, which operates on a consensus basis and which includes our GNSO Councilors and representatives from both Constituencies.</font> </p>

Since the beginning of 2012, the IOC/RCRC Drafting Team (DT) has deliberated about possible second level protections and how to respond to the GAC's request for protections.

These recommendations are being posted at the request of the Drafting Team. Although some members of the Drafting Team believe that a PDP is not necessary at this time to grant second level protections for the IOC/RCRC, a consensus of the DT does in fact agree that a PDP represents an appropriate compromise on this issue. With respect to the Recommendations #2 and #3 (temporary protection at second level), there is strong support amongst the Drafting Team for those recommendations with opposition from the Non-commercial Stakeholder Group and Thomas Rickert. A copy of statements from certain constituencies, stakeholder groups, and/or individuals is attached as appendices to the recommendations.<u></u><u></u></span></font> </p>
