Dear Patrick, thanks a lot for your draft of a (ALAC) statement on the IRTP report. Your draft actually reflects most of my concerns and I hope it will be approved by the ALAC, given the narrow deadline of May 5th (what means next Tuesday!). Thanks again for your excellent work and kind regards, Wolf Patrick Vande Walle wrote Sat, 02 May 2009 21:38:

To follow up on the request made during last week's teleconference, I have drafted the following statement. https://st.icann.org/gnso-liaison/index.cgi?draft_statements_related_to_irt_...

The discussions on the new gtld list focused mainly on the composition of the IRTP working group, its lack of balance and the fact that most members were from - or close to - the IPC. Several members of At-Large mentioned they volunteered for the WG, but were not included. Hong had concerns regarding the fact that these proposed rules were in contradiction with international trade mark law. Bret Faussett made a comment about the fact the URS process is not limited in time. His comment is included in extenso.

The draft statement tries to capture all these remarks.

I am not sure which process the chair wishes to follow to have some some of approval from the ALAC, given the deadline is May 5th.

Patrick
