I'd certainly like to know why this matter, which is one squarely under
the charter of the DNSO, not being done by the DNSO?
This "drafting group" is not dealing with "mere details".
Rather it is dealing with the most fundamental issue of all, that of
defining when there is a conflict between a domain name and a trade or
service mark.
I object to this critical work being done under wraps, in closed session,
and subject only ICANN's typical substandard level of post-definition
review and overt disregard of inconvenient commentary.
This matter is of such critical importance that it must be drafted in
public, by all interested parties, with sentence-by-sentence discussion
and debate by all concerned parties as it is constructed.
Otherwise, this is a hijacked procedure of no legitimacy whatsover.
