With regards to Brian Beckham of WIPO being one of the co-chairs, I'm relatively indifferent, as long as the co-chairs comply with the working group guidelines which place constraints on their behaviour (i.e. neutrality, not pushing their own agenda, etc.). It's meant to be an administrative/clerical task, essentially. I think Brian would go a long way towards demonstrating his commitment towards that required neutrality if he would get WIPO to update their "Court Challenged Cases" page at: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/challenged/ with cases that have been **repeatedly** brought to their attention in the past, including: 1.

Moobitalk.com -- http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=5899d5f9-3bbc-416e-a9a5-7233a1... https://www.legalis.net/jurisprudences/cour-dappel-de-paris-pole-5-ch-1-arre... (actual decision) It looks bad on WIPO's part that all of these successful challenges are not being reflected on that page. WIPO is quick to assert "record cybersquatting" exists, yet they fail to mention the other side of the coin, abuse of the process, reverse domain name hijacking, and the court cases that are required to achieve justice. If Brian would get that page updated before an election, that would be wonderful. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
