Thanks, Roberto. Now I better understand your meaning in the original email
I was responding to.  

On MLN's, of course, you are right. There will need to be modifications in
the present UDRP to accommodate for different languages, conflicts/overlaps
between duplicate characters, etc.

thanks, Marilyn

Off my memory, when the applications for the new TLDs were collected, one of

the information the applicant Registries had to provide was their dispute 
resolution policy.
This, IMHO, hinted the possibility of having different mechanisms for 
different registries: otherwise, ICANN should have stated since the 
beginning that everybody had to adopt UDRP.
Even in the discussion about the individual applications, the point never 
came up (incidentally, unlike the failure to separate Registry and 
Registrar, that was criticized for IOD's .web).

I still think that it will be a *good thing* to have different policies for 
different TLDs. In a multicultural, complex world the "one size fits all" is

indeed often a simple solution, but seldom the best one.

Regards
Roberto
