Re: [gnso-udrp-dt] Action Items From Today's Call

[Wendy Seltzer <wendy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry I had to miss the call.  Did the group consider reaching out
through our networks to find additional viewpoints?  For example,
academics who have studied the UDRP, and individuals who have been in
domain name disputes but who have not been represented by attorneys.

Thanks,
--Wendy
