> The Trademark Clearinghouse is one of several important enhanced  
> rights protection mechanisms that have been built into the New gTLD  
> Program. The Clearinghouse will accept and authenticate rights  
> information, and will support both trademark claims and sunrise  
> services, required in all new gTLDs.
>
> Today, ICANN is publishing two explanatory memoranda related to the  
> Trademark Clearinghouse for a 45-day public comment period:
>
> Implementing the Proof of Use Verification [PDF, 176 KB] – This  
> memo describes the procedures to be used by the Clearinghouse to  
> verify proof of use associated with a trademark where requested.
> Implementing the Matching Rules [PDF, 194 KB] – This memo provides  
> the detailed explanation of how a "match" is determined between a  
> trademark record and a domain name, for purposes of the sunrise and  
> claims processes.
> The public comment period opened 24 September 2012 and will close  
> on 7 November 2012 at 23:59 UTC.
>
> To access the public comment forum see http://www.icann.org/en/news/ 
> public-comment/tmch-docs-24sep12-en.htm.
>
> In addition to the explanatory memoranda above, the current draft  
> version of the Trademark Clearinghouse Requirements [PDF, 1.285 MB]  
> is available for review. This Requirements document [PDF, 1.285 MB]  
> details the responsibilities of the Trademark Clearinghouse  
> provider, expanding upon the Clearinghouse Request for Information  
> (RFI) to define the specific requirements of the Clearinghouse at a  
> detailed level. It is informed by the gTLD Applicant Guidebook, as  
> well as inputs from the Implementation Assistance Group (IAG) and  
> other community discussions.
>
> Note that discussions on technical implementation of some  
> Clearinghouse processes are continuing, and a volunteer group is  
> working to develop possible alternative models for sunrise and  
> trademark claims services for community feedback.  These  
> discussions are not currently captured in the requirements.
