Robin,
Thanks for the detailed background.  It is great for the constituency  and
for the noncommercial community that you have such a good handle on what is
happening and what needs to be done.

One thing you wrote below particularly resonates.  Why bother to pass  a
treaty when you can get ICANN to make global (and let me add biased,  one-sided,
and pro-IP) policy?  That's exactly where the UDRP comes from,  and other ICANN
initiatives.  Would that ICANN could stay solely in the  business of the
technical and away from freedom of expression/intellectual  property matters, but
it won't.

Thanks again for leading our response to this IPC proposal.  I know
understand why you take it so seriously.
Best,
Kathy

One  thing is clear: ICANN is the ideal forum for these causes that can't
win  approval in a legitimate international treaty context.   Why bother
with the difficulties of passing a treaty when one can easily get ICANN
to make global policy?
