Mike Rodenbaugh is correct in this matter. ICANN has already provided legal sanction in the acceptance that the issue is within GNSO competence. This is a by law provision. Next the GNSO acts as it wishes and makes a recommended policy to the Board. Our job is done. Then ICANN's board may seek a second legal opinion of that specific policy outcome if it chooses. The GNSO is failing in its duty of care to the public in our continued failure to act. Philip
