the strong levels of concerns raised about the DAG from many parties, I don't
think we can characterize the current remedies as having consensus, much less
remarkable consensus. Re-opening the UDRP is a dangerous exercise that
could wind up being a double edge sword.. Without a workable UDRP, IP
owners will by default turn to suing registrars.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><SPAN

<DIV><FONT color=navy size=2 face=Arial>ICA would object to endorsing that
portion of the letter that seeks to reopen the URS debate and undo the
remarkable consensus achieved by the STI at the direction of the GNSO. <BR>Also,
while I do not fully understand their last point, WIPO seems to regard the UDRP
as something they control rather than an ICANN consensus policy they facilitate
as arbitrator, and has opposed the community reexamining it after 10 years of
experience. The RAPWG, on the other hand, has recommended a balanced PDP focused
on UDRP reform. ICA believes that placing all UDRP providers under standard
contract should be a key component of such reform and that doing so would
enhance uniform implementation that would benefit both complainants and
registrants. <BR>Philip S. Corwin <BR>Partner, Butera & Andrews <BR>1301
