<DIV>My research assistant has been working on the MAPO issue, focusing particularly on the international law angle (e.g. what does "internationally recognized principles of law" and "norms" mean, how have they been applied etc.) I asked him to look into it in view of ICANN staff requests in Mexico to offer them specific suggestions, even language, for the next DAG iteration.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So count me in, especially on that specific legal question.</DIV>
