[Milton L Mueller]

Who is the New gTLD Program Committee and why are they usurping the GNSO's role in making policy?

Dear Stéphane,

I wanted to reach out to you and the GNSO Council to let you know about an issue of interest to the GNSO that the New gTLD Program Committee addressed this week: the protection of Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC names.  The Committee passed a resolution yesterday requesting that the GNSO consider a proposed solution for the first round to protect at the second level the names of Red Cross/Red Crescent and IOC, consistent with the GAC advice to the Board.

We have been apprised of, and appreciate, the significant work currently underway by the GNSO's IOC/RC Drafting Team, and the potential PDP under consideration.  We crafted the resolution in a way that recognises that GNSO work is ongoing.  The resolution and the rationale will be posted next Monday.

The Committee adopted this resolution now, rather than wait until Toronto, to provide sufficient time for the GNSO to develop its views on this request taking into account the timeline for the first round.   It is important that this issue is resolved early next year so that additional protections, if they are adopted, are in place for the first round.  As a result, the Committee is seeking the GNSO's response by January 31, 2013.

We look forward to receiving the GNSO's response and are available to discuss this issue in further detail in Toronto.

Sincerely,

Cherine Chalaby
