'''STI''' is the abbreviation for '''Specific Trademark Issues'''. It is also sometimes referred to as Special Trademark Issues. It was mostly adopted as a resolution by the Generic Names Support Organization ([[GNSO]]) on 28 October 2009. It was basically proposed by the GNSO when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([[ICANN]]) sent a letter to the GNSO requesting to review the policy implications of specific trademark protection mechanisms for the sake of the proposed new [[gTLD]] Program. The STI consisted of the following representatives:
* Representatives from each Stakeholder Group
* Nominating Committee Appointees
* GAC
These representatives were tasked to analyze the specific rights protection mechanisms, which needs to be included in the Draft Application Guidebook or [[DAG]].
== Members ==
The STI mostly consists of attorneys from all the Stakeholder Groups, and people who have lots of experience in trademark law and Internet and a few numbers of non-lawyers.
== Principles ==
The STI works on the following principles:
# Unanimous consensus
# Rough consensus: This is a situation wherein there is a small minority that disagrees about a topic but majority agree
# Strong support: This means that there is a large number of opposition
# No consensus <ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/issues/sti/sti-wt-recommendations-11dec09-en.pdf gnso.icann.org]</ref>
== Work ==
The STI after its creation was assigned a huge task which included processing and addressing trademark issues as well as providing solutions to the benefit of both the non-commercial users as well as those of the trademark owners and the DNS community as a whole. <ref name="link2">[http://www.komaitis.org/1/post/2010/6/my-personal-statement-to-icann-on-its-trademark-policies.html komaitis.org]</ref>
The STI published a report in which it provided its vital recommendations regarding the creation of a [[Trademark Clearinghouse|TMC]] and Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure. It was mostly created to protect the trademarks in the new gTLD program. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-17dec09-en.htm icann.org]</ref>
== ICANN and STI ==
The ICANN created the STI to provide the recommendations about how the trademark issues should be handled keeping in mind the new gTLDs program and expansion of the Root. <ref name="link2">[http://www.komaitis.org/1/post/2010/6/my-personal-statement-to-icann-on-its-trademark-policies.html komaitis.org]</ref>
