One more point, which I wanted to write separately: I've heard a lot of people say that Intellectual Property & the work of the IRT fell outside ICANN's scope. Someone asked this specific question & Jonathan Cohen, Senior Partner at Shapiro Cohen replied that this was false: according to him, the ICANN bylaws & principles mention protection of Intellectual Property & Marks, and that therefore, the IRT's proposals fall completely *in line* with ICANN's *core mission*. I'd be interested if this was confirmed/denied. O.
