Dear colleagues I just remembered this http://www.domainpulp.com/legal/383/ this http://www.domainpulp.com/legal/right-to-property/ and, very much, this :- http://www.domainpulp.com/legal/another-reason-icann-should-respect-human-ri... just in case any of you (one or two, Mathieu, in particular, excepted) are at all surprised at my forthrightness and insistence on the embodiment of internationally accepted fundamental rights principles as a binding commmitment upon ICANN before transition . . Kind regards
