BC will promote DMCA-style Rapid Takedown Procedures

[Danny Younger]

>From the published notes of the BC members call 7
March 2007

Does the BC going forward want to consider input for
rights protection in other ways than costly defensive
registrations?  In discussion the following points
were made:

„X	yes, defensive registrations are wasteful and
costly; both right owners and registries say they do
not want them
„X	a Council WG was looking at previous sunrise
systems and other rights protection mechanisms and may
come up with recommendations on best practice
„X	yes this issue is important and needs to be
addressed now
„X	a rapid takedown procedure is needed
„X	there is a need for a balanced system that is
proportional to harm
„X	the recent .eu and proposed .xxx rapid take down
system may be models to consider.

Conclusion: it was agreed to produce a new BC position
paper covering these two issues. ACTION Philip
