Subject: [ALAC] Draft Advice to the Board on Confusingly Similar New
gTLD Strings
To: ALAC Working List <alac at atlarge-lists.icann.org>


Attached and at https://community.icann.org/x/1AuMAg is my first draft
on a statement of advice to the ICANN Board on confusingly similar
strings.

I think that it is likely that the issue of the two conflicting string
objection results for .com and .com (pointers below) will be on the
agenda of the 27-28 September Board Workshop, so it would be opportune
for us to submit this statement prior to then.

Please distribute to your RALOs as you see fit.

For those interested in the string confusion objections, the full list
can be found at the easy-to-locate document -

(or if that gets mangled - http://tinyurl.com/StringObjections).

The three .com/.cam determinations can be found at:

http://images.go.adr.org/Web/AmericanArbitrationAssociation/%7B89cde8ce-0b0f-4511-8fa2-d34d3baf5295%7D_50_504_T_00226_13_determination.pdf

Note that the first two determinations that found the strings to be
NOT confusingly similar were by the same panelist. The third which
found that the exact same strings WERE confusingly similar was by a
different panelist.
