NCSG input on request for special privileges for Red Cross & International Olympic Committee regarding Internet domains

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Alain

I am little bit confused by a statement that you made,

I may  understand for WIPO (which is btw an arbitration center) and  I have
some reserves about that , but I am puzzled that you imply that ICANN must
respect INTA "rules and regulations",for remind INTA is an association for
trademark holders and professionals, which means an interest group.

Best Regards,

Rafik
