Changes

The initial report's findings included a number of conflicts between existing rights protection mechanisms and the [[GDPR]].<ref name="initialrep" /> The WG noted, for example, that the procedural rules of the [[Uniform Rapid Suspension System]] (URS) had filing requirements that included information that the provisions within the [[Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data]] no longer required. As a result, amendments were proposed regarding the specificity of information necessary to file a complaint.<ref name="initialrep" /> The questions to the community sought public input on the workability of the protection mechanisms and specific input from registry operators regarding their experience receiving and processing complaints and other transactions with complainants or petitioners.<ref name="initialrep" /> The proposals from individual WG members dealt with the URS and the [[Trademark Clearinghouse]], specifically. The report noted that some of the rationales behind the proposals were not necessarily supported by the findings of the WG.<ref name="initialrep" />

<blockquote>That these questions still need to be asked shows a failure (stemming from the open-ended charter) of the Working Group effort to consider the relation of the URS and UDRP (a relationship that was to some extent considered in the initial design of the URS). This speaks to the need to give due serious consideration to any charter for a Review Team or Working Group tasked with reviewing the UDRP (any such charter should learn from the flaws in the current Phase I charter).<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wke2krmhV2tNPNhvIOskAlLVraWp-88mqzScCtj01fw/edit#gid=872694278 PDP-RPM Public Comment Matrix: Overarching and General Questions] (Google Docs)</ref></blockquote>
