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>
