<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:#1F497D'>I would like to draw your attention to the Registry Restrictions
Dispute Resolution Procedure, which, I believe, seeks to enforce an approach
that will have a huge impact upon non-commercial use of community-based domain
names. This is of great concern to us and the way ICANN is seeking to encourage
Registries to ‘police’ domain name registrations and become content
controllers. ICANN, yet again, fails to understand the inherent interests
within communities and seeks to create a system that is dangerous and,
surprise, surprise, is tilted towards the complaining party. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

comments. Apologies for the delay in notifying you but there are so many issues
running at the same time that I sort of missed it. The documents are available
