the entire GAC, while other stakeholders, including NCUC, were not afforded
such preferential access and opportunity to directly dialogue with the GAC
on their views on the UDRP.  The preferential treatment of certain
stakeholders consulted in the process of drafting the GAC Communique is
troubling to noncommercial users and appears to undermine ICANN's
multi-stakeholder model of checks and balances and its ability to serve the

made in our comments submitted[1] during the public comment period
concerning the UDRP for your consideration:

asymmetry in the process of drafting the GAC Communique seems contrary to
both the core tenets of ICANN's multistakeholder model of checks and
balances and its public interest obligations under the Affirmation of
