>> Hi All,
>> For discussion purposes a little later in our meeting today, here
>> is a DRAFT Joint Statement on the IRT Report between NCUC and ALAC.
>> It would be very nice if, at the Board Public Forum on Thursday,
>> we could go up together with ALAC to make a strong joint statement.
>> That would make the Board wake up! :-)

>> Best,
>> Kathy

>>
>> DRAFT
>>
>> Joint Statement on the DIRT Report
>>
>> From ALAC and NCUC
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The At-Large Community, ALAC and the Non-Commercial Users
>> Constituency of ICANN strongly support the creation of new gTLDs.
>> Having said that, the process to move forward with changes to the
>> DAG Guidebook requires the legitimacy of full community
>> participation and full transparency.
>>
>> In the case of the IRT Report, we had neither transparency nor
>> openness. The IRT Report and its recommendations harm the
>> interests of domain name Registrants and Internet end users, and
>> consequently we must object to the vast bulk of its recommendations.
>>
>>
>> To be more specific:
>>
>> 1. The Globally Protected Marks List – the GPML database- is a
>> matter well beyond ICANN's scope and its core competence. It
>> presumes to be able to resolve an issue that even WIPO wrestles
>> with. Clearly the creation of the GPML, if even possible, would
>> cause enormous complexity. Instead of speeding up the process of
>> creating new gTLDs, it would introduce delays that would last for
>> years. But the creation of this list must take place outside of
>> ICANN.
>>
>> 2. The GPML takes no consideration of the actual limits of rights
>> and protections allowed to trademarks. In the real world,
>> trademark owners apply for a trademark in a specific class of
>> goods and services, and their use is bound to that class or
>> classes. By protecting a string of letters in all new gTLDs, the
>> GPML would extend trademarks into new gTLDs far beyond the bounds
>> of their class of goods and services, far beyond existing
>> national laws and internationatreaties.
>>
>>
>> 3. We have enormous problems with the Uniform Suspension Service
>> (URS). The URS mechanism subverts conventional UDRP practice as
>> it gives entirely insufficient time for notice to the registrant
>> of the pending dispute. Thus, the registrant is unfairly limited
>> in his/her right of response and the process is missing the
>> fundamental principle of due process.
>>
>>
>> [ Kathy Note: This paragraph below seems to be somewhat
>> controversial within ALAC. I think we will be dropping it. Don't
>> worry, we'll include the statement in our comments -- if you all
>> agree]
>> 4. ALAC and NCUC strongly object to the Thick Whois Registry. In
>> mandating such, the IRT Committee did not address any of the
>> privacy issues that arise from moving personal data from many
>> countries with data protection laws, perhaps, to a single country
>> without data protection. Does ICANN really want to be in a
>> position in which it may be violating national laws?
>>
>>
>> Overall, we wish the result were different. We wish the IRT had
>> delivered a reasonable proposal for the protection of trademarks.
>> But the product delivered is far outside the scope and core
>> competence of ICANN, and outside the bounds of trademark law.
>>
>> We can do better; we must do better before we move forward.
>>
>> Consequently, NCUC and ALAC stand before this forum together in
>> fundamental opposition to many of the IRT Results.
>>
