color=#0000ff size=2>David is very familiar with the underlying immunity issues
and believes that the DRP approach is a way for the IGOs to avoid the treaty
route. Here are his words, "<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000
size=3>This conflict can be reconciled by the traditional means of treaties. I
understand that the impetus for this proposal is to do an end run around the
treaty process.</FONT>"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Given David's participation in the Joint Working Group on
2003, I've assumed he's familiar with the underlying immunity issue that
motivates the arbitration proposal. (For those Councilors who may not
have the institutional knowledge of the IGO issue, it's discussed in pages
12-14 of the Issues Report.) I, for one, would welcome alternative
suggestions from David - or anyone for that matter - that take into account
the immunity-driven limitations.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

proposal still has the fundamental flaw that it requires mandatory
ARBITRATION. It is an attempt to make ICANN a global legislative body
outside the jurisdiction of national courts. The existing UDRP provides for
a mandatory ADMINISTRATIVE proceeding and has the following escape clause
(4(k)):<BR><BR></FONT>
<DL>
<DD>Availability of Court Proceedings.</B> The mandatory administrative
proceeding requirements set forth in <A title=#4
href="BLOCKED::#4">Paragraph 4</A> shall not prevent either you or the
complainant from submitting the dispute to a court of competent
jurisdiction for independent resolution before such mandatory
administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is
concluded. <BR><BR></DD></DL>If ICANN can do this, it can make law on any
other subject. I don't think we, as registries, want to subject ourselves to
mandatory arbitration (except as provided in contracts we have signed) on
any subject that the GNSO comes up with."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Attached please find the IPC Proposed Revised
IGO DRP, which was approved by the IPC at its meeting this morning.
Attached also for reference is a redline against the IGO DRP that was
contained in the 28 September 2007 staff report.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The IPC believes that its proposed revised IGO
DRP remedies the aspects of the original IGO DRP that were previously
identified as being of concern. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The IPC proposed revised IGO DRP does not
address - and was not intended to address - the process by which an IGO
DRP would become applicable to existing gTLDs. Once (or if) it
does become applicable to existing gTLDs, the proposed changes reflect a
mechanism that is believed to treat existing gTLD registrants
fairly.</FONT></P>
