To the list: when I comment, my comments are my own personal comments and
reflect the policy positions of my employer, and not of any other entity.
The comments below suggest that I may be acting for someone else. Not the
case.  Anyone may disagree with me, and that is their right and I respect
that right, but they are wrong when they accuse me of representing anyone
other than myself and my employer.  No one asked my "help".  

cheers,

Marilyn Cade

Michael and everybody else,

  "Circle-Jerk" would be one viable description  :)   I prefer to look at
this as a bit of PR work done on the behalf of and likely at the behest
of, ICANN and WIPO.  It is an obvious attempt to sway opinion and 
in hopes of feeding thoughts to the General public as well as the
Stakeholder community that the UDRP is or will be one of the
"Rules of the road", so to speak.  Sadly, it may actually work. :(
Of course that would be a terrible travesty and a blatant case of
misleading the Stakeholder community terribly.

 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.
