Overarching Issues Sample Clauses

Overarching Issues. ICANN’s analysis identified four “overarching issues” requiring additional discussion before changes could be made to the DAG: 1) Security and Stability; 2) Malicious Conduct; 3) Trademark Protection; and 4) Demand/Economic Analysis. In its analysis, ICANN staff pledged to solicit additional feedback from a variety of sources and conduct additional research before proposing any solutions: • Security and Stability: The ICANN Board asked the Security and Stability Advisory Committee and Root Server System Advisory Committee to jointly conduct a study analyzing the impact to security and stability within the DNS root server system of the proposed gTLD expansion. • Malicious Conduct: ICANN pledged to “actively solicit[] feedback...over the next 60 days” on the potential for malicious conduct (specifically criminal conduct: phishing, pharming, malware, botnets) in the new DNS namespace. • Trademark Protection: ICANN pledged to discuss trademark issues stemming from the introduction of new gTLDs “with all relevant parties” and with Intellectual Property organizations around the world. Note: For more information about public participation with respect to ICANN’s handling of trademark protection issues in the new gTLD program, please see the Implementation Recommendation Team public participation memo. • Demand/Economic Analysis: ICANN pledged to release two studies, one on the “[economic] dynamics of the domain system in broad” and one on the economic impact of the gTLD expansion, and to post these studies for public comment prior to the third draft of the DAG. As part of their efforts to solicit feedback on the “overarching issues,” ICANN staff created a wiki in April 2009 focused on these topics.14 The wiki was open to any group or individual who wanted to participate, provided 12 ICANN, “Bylaws," xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/en/general/bylaws.htm. 13 ICANN, “Bylaws," xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/en/general/bylaws.htm. 14 ICANN, “New gTLD Overarching Issues,” xxxx://xx.xxxxx.xxx/new-gtld-overarching- issues/index.cgi?new_gtld_overarching_issues.

Overarching Issues. In its analysis of public comments, ICANN pledged that the third version of the DAG would include solutions (based on the feedback it had promised to solicit from various experts, ICANN constituencies and the general public) to the four “overarching issues” identified after the first round of DAG public comments. It also promised to focus on these issues at the June 2009 ICANN meeting and to hold regional events in the Americas, Asia and Europe focusing on trademark protection (one of the four overarching issues). Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx released a statement arguing that ICANN had “simply kicked the can down the road” on how to minimize the impact of abusive domain name registrations, which he considered to be the biggest concern.17 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx of Ars Technica wrote that security and stability concerns were similarly delayed.18

Overarching Issues. Access. The WVU Detailed Report focused on the Community-Based Services Population at 2 Years provides a great deal of insight into the challenges and issues that children, families, and providers face around access. “That said, stakeholders want more—organizations and facilities reported challenges with service coverage and continue to experience difficulties hiring and retaining providers with advanced training and experience, caregivers and youth need more community-based services with higher levels of intensity, and opportunities exist to further engage stakeholders in discharge planning and transitioning youth out of RMHT” (p. 3). In that report, providers felt the top three barriers to maximizing referrals were: lack of qualified providers; lack of resources; lack of information about resources. “Approximately 70% of Year 2 providers who had heard of the mental and behavioral health services of interest indicated that they (the services) need more resources” (p. 51). Waitlists have also increased: “A larger percentage of organizations reported having waitlists for services in Year 2 compared to Baseline. Statewide, 30% of organizations at Baseline and 40% in Year 2 reported having waitlists” (p. 104). In reviewing all of the materials for this review, the SME notes the recurring theme of a need for more services with better access.

Wherever possible the University will endeavor to arrange teaching schedules that avoid excessive numbers of preparations and recognize evening and/or off-campus assignments.

Such payments shall be made by payroll deduction as a condition of continued exemption from the requirements of financial support to the Association and as a condition of continued employment.

  • Religious Objectors Any employee covered hereby who maintains that she/he holds a sincere and bona fide religious belief that conflicts with an obligation to financially support MSEA-SEIU, public employee organizations or labor organizations in general may seek religious objector status by petitioning MSEA-SEIU. Any such employee who is found to hold a sincere and bona fide religious belief that conflicts with an obligation to financially support MSEA-SEIU, public employee organizations or labor organizations in general, shall have the right to refuse to make service fee payments; provided, however, that said right to refuse shall continue only so long as the employee makes contributions at least equal in amount to the service fee to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee so refusing and the Union, within ten (10) days after each payday. Part-time employees’ contributions to non-religious charitable organizations shall coincide in amount with the payments of those part-time employees paying the service fee. MSEA-SEIU shall not unreasonably deny the choice of such non-religious charitable organization suggested by the employee. An administrative or legal challenge to a denial of a petition for religious objector status may be filed in an appropriate forum. The State of Maine Office of Employee Relations is not such a forum. Should an employee have a pending written request for religious objector status or a pending administrative or legal challenge regarding their religious objector status, the State will continue to deduct an amount equal to the service fee from the employee’s pay until the request is granted or the challenge is resolved in the employee’s favor, and that amount will be placed by MSEA- SEIU in an interest-bearing escrow account pending resolution of such dispute or request. MSEA-SEIU shall pay for any maintenance fees associated with such escrow accounts. The State shall not be liable for any fees, costs, damages, expenses, or any other form of liability involved with regard to such escrow accounts. If an employee is granted religious objector status, MSEA- SEIU will notify the State of the employee’s religious objector status, and the State will cease automatic service fee deductions. It shall be the sole obligation of MSEA-SEIU to certify to the State the name of any employee who has failed to make timely contributions as a religious objector and has, thus, forfeited religious objector status. Once MSEA-SEIU has certified the employee’s name to the State, the State will commence and continue to automatically deduct the service fee from the employee’s pay as provided in Section 1.
