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>
