2c: Protection of IGO Names and Acronyms
The GAC reviewed developments with regard to protection of IGO names and acronyms. It decided to reiterate previous advice on preventative protection of IGO identifiers. This includes retaining interim protections, although the GAC agreed that the list of IGO names and acronyms on which such protections are based should be maintained so that it is as accurate and complete as possible.
The GAC also considered current interim protections for IGO acronyms at the second level[1]. A proposal from the African Union Commission to revise these protections to enable IGOs to request that their own acronym be removed from the current reserved list was considered. The GAC agreed that there may be merit in such a measure and will consider the full implications further before deciding on any advice to the Board.
At the face to face meeting between the GAC and the ICANN Board, Board members noted that ICANN org continues to work on outcomes from the facilitated discussions held at the Copenhagen meeting; that the GAC may be asked to release Euclid University from the reserved list of acronyms; and that the PDP on IGO access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms has not yet reached consensus and next steps on this are not clear.
