Dear all (apologies for the lateness in sending this)



Please find attached the report on the IOC/Red Cross issue to be discussed between the DT and the GNSO/GAC on Friday. Please note that this is just a reflection of the discussions the DT has been having and not an official statement policy of the group. However, also please bear in mind that this is the option that will most probably be presented before the GNSO for vote in Costa Rica.



I have insisted (and will continue to do so) that the report submitted to the GNSO should incorporate also the minority view, I.e no special provisions for these marks. also, I have been insisting but not much discussion has taken place on the need for public comment, where the community will have the opportunity to weigh in on these recommendations.



I will keep you posted for any further updates.



Thanks



KK

Subject: IOC/RC Drafting Team Status Report



Heather, Mark and Suzanne,





As promised, please find enclosed a status report from the Chair of the IOC/RC Drafting Team of the GNSO Council that has been tasked with advising the GNSO Council with respect to the September 2011 GAC proposal on permanently protecting the Olympic and Red Cross names at the top and second levels for new gTLDs.  Although this report was shared with the members of the Drafting Team, it was drafted by me as the Chair, and as such is not an official report from the Drafting Team.  It represents the Chair’s current understanding of the discussions of the Drafting Team.  Each of the recommendations addressed in this report are still under review by the GNSO Community.  We are providing this report to assist in the discussions between the Drafting Team, interested GNSO Councilors and GAC members on March 2, 2012.







Please feel free to forward this report to the other members of the GAC as I will be sending this to the GNSO Council as well.  We look forward to a productive call this Friday as well as in Costa Rica at the ICANN meeting.







Best regards,



Jeffrey J. Neuman
