IP Justice opposes this illegitimate attempt to circumvent proper policy development process in the creation and imposition of a new gTLD policy. In addition to the inappropriate process utilized, the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) policy will chill freedom of expression as domain names will be quickly suspended without any fair opportunity for consumers to defend their lawful rights to use their domain names.

IP Justice Comment on .Cat and .Pro

Dear ICANN,

IP Justice appreciates this opportunity to provide public comment on the 
attempt by ICANN staff to impose the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) policy on 
the new generic top-level domains (GTLD) .cat and .pro.  IP Justice is a San 
Francisco based civil liberties organization that promotes balanced 
intellectual property rights and Internet freedom policy.

IP Justice opposes this illegitimate attempt to circumvent proper policy 
development process in the creation and imposition of a new gTLD policy.  In 
addition to the inappropriate process utilized, the Uniform Rapid Suspension 
(URS) policy will chill freedom of expression as domain names will be quickly 
suspended without any fair opportunity for consumers to defend their lawful 
rights to use their domain names.  Numerous Internet users will be unable to 
use their domains without any due process based on nothing but overzealous 
claims from trademark attorneys.

Particularly at the critical time when the world is watching ICANN to see if it 
has begun to fix its accountability crisis, including the regular practice of 
ICANN staff circumvention of bottom-up community- developed policy and its 
continued disregard for the rights of ordinary Internet users, this 
illegitimate imposition of a dangerous policy on the world's Internet users is 
extremely disturbing.

Thank you,
Robin Gross
