 one of the topics on which ICANN may enforce consensus policies, who will have access and on what basis?  While I appreciate the ICANN may have the right to draft and enforce certain policies, any such policy must be in accordance with applicable law.  Isn’t
 that exactly what we are trying to do in this EPDP?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
