===October, 2012, Follow-up===
On October 4, 2012, a week prior to the start of [[ICANN 45|ICANN's 45th meeting]] in Toronto, Sec. Larry Strickling followed up his January 2012 letter to ICANN. He first noted that NTIA had noticed recent progress within the organization citing the progress on incorporating the law enforcement concerns via the [[GAC]] within negotiations for a new [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]]; the recent announcement that the Contract Compliance Division will now report directly to the [[ICANN CEO]]; and the possibility of moving quickly on recommendations from the [[Whois Review Team]]. He stressed that implementation of the latter item was important.
However, Sec. Strickling also notes NTIA's concerns over the limited progress over [[Trademark Clearinghouse]] and the [[Uniformed Rapid Suspension]] (URS) policy. Larry Strickling noted that ICANN has issued an update on the clearinghouse and a request for information searching for a URS services provider. NTIA encouraged ICANN to continue to allow stakeholders to evaluate and provide input on the the information presented by the applicants. It stressed that the URS was originally envisioned as an effective and low-cost alternative to the [[UDRP]], and encouraged ICANN to ensure that cost concerns were kept in mind throughout their evaluation process.NTIA also encouraged ICANN to not stop at the [[Intellectual Property]] mechanisms as is, but continue to explore other ways of ensuring that trademarks and brands remain safe within the landscape of current and new TLDs.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/strickling-to-crocker-04oct12-en Strickling to Crocker, ICANN.org]</ref>
He promised that NTIA would continue to participate in the [[Multistakeholder Model|multistakeholder model]] within the [[GAC]].
