Hi Milton,
 
Apologies for my brevity - I'm currently on the RPM call and believe I'm the only NCSG member here, along with a bunch of primarily IP lawyers.
 
The fee structure of the TMCH can be found here: http://www.trademark-clearinghouse.com/sites/default/files/files/downloads/TrademarkClearinghouse_fee_structure_131010_SCREEN_2.pdf .
 
Anyone who finds this to be of interest please join us on the RPM WG. We need your help. Desperately.
 
Kind Regards,
 
Ed Morris

Thanks, Marilia.

Going through the report, it seems to be pretty objective.

I want to know an important supplementary fact: how much does the TMCH cost and who pays for it?

Hello everyone, 

 

There is a public comment open until September 3rd on the draft report of the independent review of the trademark clearinghouse services. This is a topic that touches upon a historical cause of NCSG: to ensure freedom of expression, bringing more balance and fairness to policies related to intellectual property protection in ICANN.

 

The Independent Review of the Trademark Clearinghouse report considers the effectiveness of key areas related to the TMCH in meeting its initial intended objectives. You can find more detailed information in: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/tmch-review-2016-07-25-en

 

Time is very short, but would anyone be willing to try to put together a short and to the point document outlining some key points on this matter?

 

Thanks and all the best,

Marilia
