Thanks. Keep the standard place for policy development clearly and
strictly - and say so publicly, before others get confused.<br>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> <font face="Lucida

about the new gTLD program, mentioning the progress that has
been made by ICANN to address industry stakeholder concerns.
The letter also refers to the ongoing implementation of the
Trademark Clearinghouse and the Uniform Rapid Suspension
service, and calls on ICANN to develop additional trademark
protections going forward through the appropriate processes.
As such, I think it's important that we continue to emphasize
that all the various rights-protection mechanisms, including
the long-standing Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP),
are due to be reviewed by the GNSO in 18 months' time (per a
recent GNSO Council resolution). That should be the forum, and
the GNSO the primary venue, where these developments are
evaluated and possibly improved. This does not of course rule
out cross-community dialogue and working groups, but any
policy changes to the new gTLD program should either originate
in or at least be conducted through the GNSO, which bears the
primary responsibility for such policy making.</font> </p>
