Re: [gnso-thickwhois-dt] weekly status report -- FINAL

Hi,

If it is International Law, than why has this never been acted on in any 
International court.  There are certainly infringements in the incumbent gTLDs 
(I haven't checked, I am just assuming) that could have been judged in 
International tribunals.  Certainly  infringement of the RCRC movement symbols 
on a battlefield would have been.  Also, while the GAC can give valuable 
advice, it is not an arbtrar of International Law. Nor does it make law.

I certainly think that the PDP should look into this seriously and I think the 
pointer to .int policy is a very useful clue. But I also agree with Jeff, this 
is an ICANN policy matter.  In the absence in rulings by duly constituted 
tribunals at the correct International level, it is for the muti-stakeholder 
ICANN to develop and apply policy that meets the existing International 
requirements to the best of our understanding.  

I look forward to the WG.
