What's this? Cade thanks Fausett for justifying WIPO's secrecy? The
circle-jerk continues, ad nauseum.

In case anyone didn't know, in the U.S. civil pleadings are
available, at least to attorneys, from the time they are filed. One
supposes that the courts have decided that providing openness even
while incurring the risk of creating prejudice is preferable to
secrecy and the harms that ensue from it. ICANN, loving secrecy, has
come to the opposite decision. No doubt they would hide the names of
the litigants and the arbitrators forever, if they could get away
with it.

WIPO, an international treaty organization, has been warned not to
follow these mistaken policies of ICANN's if it does not wish to
suffer the same fate that ICANN will eventually succumb to: a
come-uppance for its sins, delivered, one expects, from an
independent judiciary, if such can still be found in these United
States.
