&gt; Demonstrable to who?? &nbsp;to whom?? &nbsp;Pardon the grammar, but
you get the point. <br>
&gt; &nbsp;What Verizon supports is that organizations indicate their respective
positions <br>
&gt; via the process established by ICANN, rather than through private
conversations <br>
&gt; with a task force member. &nbsp;<br>
<br>
MarkMonitor was very clear that there were issues with their submission
<br>
- i.e. that they listed the Mozilla Corporation when in fact the Mozilla
<br>
Corporation did not endorse their position, that they listed dotberlin
<br>
as a supporter, when in fact dotberlin is not a supporter. This doesn't
<br>
take into account the &quot;private conversations&quot; - their own 
clarifications
<br>
make the case for me.<br>
<br>
ICANN's PDP supports a comment process that allows individuals and <br>
organizations to make their views known. It doesn't provide for petition
<br>
cramming. As an indication of support for a particular position, the <br>
MarkMonitor submission is no more useful and appropriate than supportive
<br>
comments made by a line up of paid shills at the microphone during the
<br>
ICANN public forum.<br>
<br>
As I've said, we should take their submission as written and ensure that
<br>
any new views it presents is taken into account during our <br>
consideration. However, given the highly questionable nature of the <br>
validity and authenticity of the co-signatures, this document does not
<br>
warrant any special consideration at any level during the PDP.<br>
