positions within ICANN exhibited a demonstrated comprehension (and better 
yet, a commitment toward the protection) of intellectual property 
law. </div>

those in the IPC, demonstrated an understanding of the historical limits of 
intellectual monopoly protection, and exhibited recognition of the 
unjustifiable expansion of said protection during the first decade and a 
half of the ICANN experiment.  </div>
