<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Suggestion: can somebody post all the NCUCs position papers, letters and comments on the IRT on the NCUC website? In an acessible manner that might make sense to non native English speakers? It would also be useful to have a concise 1-page post at the front of the NCUC site for ppl not already familiar w the IRT (or more than general knowledge of ICANN) explaining "why the Irt is bad for free expression". without such materials online it will be difficult for to rally ppl to attend the HK meeting. There needs to be an easy one stop shop where people can go to bone up on everything they need to know and all relevant links to where they can go for more. Right now it's all way too inside baseball and not accessible for the general public or even people in the free speech / ip community who aren't ICANN insiders.</div><div> Thanks</div><div>R <br><br>Sent from my iPhone<div>UK: +44-7759-863406</div><div>USA: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">+1-617-939-3493</span><div>HK: +852-6334-8843</div></div></div><div><br>On Jul 3, 2009, at 3:39 PM, Kathy Kleiman <<a href="mailto:Kathy@KATHYKLEIMAN.COM">Kathy@KATHYKLEIMAN.COM</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>
And following up on Bill's posting,<br>
This London Consultation allows everyone to comment - and criticize -
the IRT Proposals for overexpansion of trademark rights (a big part of
our focus in Sydney).<br>
It is a very important opportunity to speak.<br>
<br>
Please attend! Can you come? <br>
<br>
The more NCUC organizations and individuals who can come, the better.
Konstantinos will be leading our NCUC charge in London (hooray!), but
one person is not enough. Trademark interests will be there in force
and Konstantinos needs support from other NCUC at the microphones.
Let's continue our work from Sydney in London -- and continue to voice
strong and clear opposition to the IRT Report.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you would like any links or comments re:
noncommercial concerns about the IRT report-- any materials to help
prepare a short presentation for London.<br>
