-I would also urge removal of the language in your text calling for ICANN
to sanction dispute providers. Let's focus on uniform rules governing
their qualifications and responsibilities. The contract/sanctions
model would not only run into problems with IGOs as Mike notes, but would also
undermine the whole nature of independent third party dispute resolution
providers. People use these providers exactly because they are
independent and trusted third party not affiliated with ICANN. But that's
not to say that they shouldn't be subject to high standards and uniform
qualifications. If an entity fails to meet the standards, then they should
be deaccredited.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I
share your concerns. In fact this type of rigid “contract” language
is what stalled individual ccTLD participation within the ICANN process for so
long. It was only after ICANN adopted an accountability framework document that
more participation/recognition occurred.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

think Phil’s concerns can be address without the hard coded “contract” language.
Having dealt with IGOs over the past several years I can tell you that getting
them to sign “contracts” can be a complicated process. Therefore making WIPO
sign a UDRP provider contract is likely to run into some complications that
would likely draw the support/empathy of the GAC. Do we really want to pick that
fight? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

dealt with WIPO during the past 11 years ago (remember that first UDRP meeting
at Georgetown Sarah/Marilyn – seems almost like yesterday) I think as a trustee
of this process WIPO would be in agreement about ensuring some uniformity
of the rules. So let’s figure how to make them part of the solution, instead of
making them part of the problem.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
