special trademark issues in new gtlds

[asmartlawyer]

Dear All,
 
How are you? 
This is Leslie, one of ICANN Seoul Fellows, I have an interest to work on trademark issues for NCUC in the new gtld policy that ICANN is developing. I'm well content to apply for volunteering to represent NCUC to participate on a GNSO Work Team on"special trademark issues"that remain unresolved from the IRT Report. I want to give my opinion on Trademark Clearinghouse in the perspective of comparative studies on China trademark law and Common Law trademark rights. I hope I can help, and I am looking forward to seeing all of you in Seoul!!
 
Warm regards,
Leslie (Guan Yuanyuan)

Dear All,


It looks like the new GNSO group to deal with "special trademark issues" (formerly known as "IRT") is getting up and running.  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.

We should begin to formulate our constituency response as soon as possible.


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.


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.    


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?


Thank you very much!


Best,
Robin
