http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,30939,00.html ICANN has to approve it. They can't until the DNSO is constituted, because they would then be acting against their own bylaws, which require that rules restricting domain name registrations (among other things) to originate with the DNSO. Which is where the January 21 & 22 meetings in Washington come in. That's where support for WIPO's new rules will be fixed, probably on the 21st, with the re-written DNSO proposal, including WIPO's draconian DN constraints (two-month wait between registration and allocation, investigation of the applicant, a requirement to sign an agreement to be bound by a WIPO-appointed arbitration board, etc.) submitted to the community on the 22nd. There is only one question that remains to be answered: Has the ICANN BoD already told the INTA and WIPO that it will accept those draconian measures, and that only an application for a DNSO that includes them will be approved? __________________________________________________ To receive the digest version instead, send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To SUBSCRIBE forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNSUBSCRIBE, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems/suggestions regarding this list?
