I'm confused.
I just re-read the ICANN Press Communiqu� from Berlin.
In the press release (written by the PR firm, not ICANN) is this sentence:
The Initial Board noted that a uniform dispute settlement
mechanism was a necessary element of a competitive
registrar system. The Initial Board noted that the
scope of this policy should be wider than the cases
of abusive registration with which the WIPO report
deals, and ultimately cover all commercial dispute
issues linked to Domain Name registrations.
That last sentence is not in the Board's resolutions. What does it mean? Does it
indeed represent a Board sentiment? Was that sentiment unanimous?
Can someone who was in Berlin (or better yet, an ICANN Board member) shed some light
on this?
Thanks.
