In response and opposition to IPC comment

[Andy Gardner <apgardner@xxxxxx>]

In their comment 
http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-rpm-requirements-06aug13/msg00061.html 
the IPC state:

"extensive domain registration abuse in the .COM registry, which would be 
duplicated across various IDN versions of .COM under the VeriSign proposal"

IPC fails to provide any proof of extensive IDN domain registration abuse in 
.COM. From a quick look on the WIPO and ADR UDRP search pages, there appears to 
be only a handful of IDN UDRP procedures in the 10+ years of IDN's existing in 
.COM. Perhaps the "extensive domain registration abuse in the .COM registry" is 
mainly focused on english (and possibly other latin languages)?

Unless the IPC can produce evidence of "extensive IDN domain registration abuse 
in .COM", I ask ICANN to ignore their opposition to Verisign's proposal.
