In early November 2012, Chehadé invited a group of business, IP, and noncommercial users, along with registrar and registry stakeholder groups, to discuss Clearinghouse-related issues. Resolutions and decisions for ICANN include:

• Registration: How registration recording and verification are addressed

1. Agreeing to map out trademark submission and verification components
2. Developing a new system to offer timely and accurate information on new gTLD launches
3. Implementing seminars between implementers and various users

• Sunrise Management: How to use Sunrise data files and offer flexibility for rights holders

1. Offering model in which Clearinghouse data can be provided securely to rights holders for early sunrise registration
2. Giving details on the degree of "matching" between a Clearinghouse record and a domain name's Whois data.

• Claims Management: How new gTLDs registries and registrars will facilitate Clearinghouse records during the registration process

1. Agreeing to hybrid system of decentralized and centralized system for Trademark Claims
2. Offering trademark claims service for at least first 60 days of general registration and all new gTLD registries must offer a minimum 30-day sunrise period
3. Decided not to implement measures to address the potential mining of the Clearinghouse database for purposes not related to rights protection, on the basis that most controls would be ineffective
