<DIV><SPAN class=396523312-13082003><FONT face=Arial size=2>The GNSO council
has been asked to nominate 6 persons to the President's working group to study
(NOTE; STUDY ... NOT IMPLIMENT !!) the WIPO II Recommendations and
its effect on ICANN from both a legal and policy perspective. The GNSO
has recommended that one person from every constituency is appointed and that
person be knowledgeable in legal issues and a history of the UDRP.

<DIV><SPAN class=396523312-13082003><FONT face=Arial size=2>The GNSO as a
whole is against the recommendations as it creates substantive law that does
not exist today and exceeds ICANN's scope. The GAC, however, very much
wants this implemented (even without GNSO support).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
