<p>Thanks Zahid<a></a>, much appreciated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A fourth (and I hope final) draft is attached which drops the "duopoly" reference and replaces it with "vast majority", and which deletes the redundant sentence<a></a> on flexible and effective means of enforcement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any further comments or suggestions?</p>

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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span 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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I 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?
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Having 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.</span></p>
