1. IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights PDP WG Phil Corwin, WG Co-Chair | ICANN-52 | February 2015

2. | 2 WG Progress since ICANN51  Preliminary decision to exclude INGOs from further consideration:  SG/C/SO/AC (including GAC) input sought  Responses received from SSAC, IPC & ISPCP so far  Currently discussing “standing” to file complaint under a dispute resolution proceeding (whether UDRP, URS or other):  Reviewed existing treaty scope and implementation in selected jurisdictions (e.g. USA, Australia)  “Thought exercise”: prior draft of alternative DRP, alternative wording to UDRP  IGO coalition’s input sought on standing & sovereign immunity  Response received 23 January, being discussed by WG

3. | 3 GAC Communique – ICANN51  The GAC Communique from ICANN51 in LA advised the ICANN Board that:  The UDRP (and URS) should not be amended  Curative Rights Protection Mechanism(s) should be at no or nominal cost to IGOs  Mason Cole, at the request of the WG and in his role as GNSO-GAC liaison, is facilitating dialogue between the GAC and the WG

4. | 4 Next Steps  WG face-to-face meeting on 13 February  Conclude discussion on standing  Commence work on sovereign immunity issue  Input expected from the GAC after ICANN52  In addition to questions posed by WG, potential issue may arise w.r.t. GAC’s IGO List not being limited to IGOs protected by the Paris Convention  Aim to produce preliminary recommendations by ICANN53
