Tucows has released its latest comments on the work of the ERC
with specifics comments directed to the names policy development
process, and in particular on the workings of the current DNSO and its
proposed successor, the GNSO. This latest document summarizes prior
proposals, to the extent they may be still relevant to the work of the
committee, and make further and more specific suggestions as to how the
future policy process can work better.

On July 26, 2002, Susan Crawford, of Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering, filed a submission to the ICANN
Public Comment Forum on the WLS on behalf of SnapNames that suggests
that the Board review of the recommendations of the Transfers TF related
to the WLS is "...a process not based in any contractually supported or
legally permissible role of the Board."
Needless to say, I couldn't disagree with the arguments made in this
submission more strongly (except in two regards - read the paper ;) and
have fi
led a response with the Transfers TF for their consideration. My
basic feeling is that;
1. The WLS constitutes a fundamental change in the domain names market
which permanently advantages one player.
2. The safeguards recommended by the Task Force to allay some of these
advantages are reasonable and should receive the support of the Board.
3. The Board of ICANN should deny Verisign's request to amend the
contract until such time that Verisign can actually agree to and
practically implement the necessary changes to the functional
specification of the WLS.
I will post a marked up and annotated version of my submission later
tonight.

Noodle this please Please pay attention to this issue. Resolution of the disputes that fall out of the various contracts between various registries, registrars and ICANN is an extremely important issue that the community needs to noodle further.
