<div>Thank you very much to Konstantinos, Mary, Milton, Bill, and the others who contributed to NCUC's statement on the New gTLD Guidebook.</div><div><br></div>BTW: An interesting <a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/gtld-guide/docAl3AkKVseP.doc">comment</a> was published by .org on the new gtld process and draft applicant guidebook.<br><br><div>The PIR comment describes some of the problems with creating new rights for "communities" at the expense of other legitimate interests. NCUC has had similar objections to this new idea of "community rights" because they subjugate individual rights to "community" rights (and are a new concept for law and policy).</div><div><br></div><div>And PIR also addresses the VERY BIG PROBLEM of ICANN staff's plan to eliminate review of DRP decisions by real courts of law.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robin<br> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>IP JUSTICE</div><div>Robin Gross, Executive Director</div><div>1192 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 USA</div><div>p: +1-415-553-6261 f: +1-415-462-6451</div><div>w: <a href="http://www.ipjustice.org">http://www.ipjustice.org</a> e: <a href="mailto:robin@ipjustice.org">robin@ipjustice.org</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
