The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) announced today that it’s “seeking one or more provider(s) to conduct an independent review of the Trademark Clearinghouse to assess the effectiveness of three key areas related to the Clearinghouse in meeting its intended objectives and to identify considerations for future application rounds of the New gTLD Program.
The three key areas for examination in this review include:
(a) Trademark Clearinghouse Guidelines and Verification Process;
(b) Sunrise Period; and
(c) Trademark Claims Service.
The selected provider(s) will design and execute a study to create a meaningful report of quantitative and qualitative data on the specified areas for examination.
Proposals should be submitted to [email protected] by 23:59 UTC on 28 August 2015.”
