I found the GAC letter to be lacking. Webster's dictionary defines "dogma" as "a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds". Unfortunately, this is what the GAC appears to have delivered in their (very brief) answers. As a PDP working group, we should not be relying on mere dogma to determine the path we take. Instead, we should look at the actual evidence and data, to see where it takes us. We've seen IGOs file UDRPs and lawsuits, just like any other entity. We've seen court cases that circumscribe and limit asserted "immunities" of IGOs.These are undeniable facts. Personally, I expected better from the GAC (and the IGOs, if/when they decide to respond to our requests). I do have confidence, though, that this working group will come to a well-reasoned conclusion based on the actual evidence.
