All,

As most of you are aware, ICANN posted its proposed implementation model of the TMCH earlier this year, with the most recent drafts posted on September 24, 2012 (http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-7-24sep12-en.htm).  For a number of months, several registries and registrars have been working on an alternate mechanism for implementing the Trademark Clearinghouse at least with respect to how the Clearinghouse interacts with the gTLD Registries and Registrars.    A paper discussing the issues presented by the proposed ICANN implementation model along with our proposed alternate Sunrise and Trademark Claims models has now been posted by ICANN at:

ICANN has graciously volunteered its resources to host a call on October 9th at 9am Eastern US time for the authors of the alternate models to discuss our models and rationale.  We wanted to make sure that you all were aware of the call as well.   This call will be good preparation for the meeting in a couple of weeks in Toronto.

I hope that ICANN will send out a more formal announcement about the call.  But just in case they do not, here is the call-in information that ICANN has given me.
