  If you read the bilateral trade agreements between the US and the Republic
of Vietnam you will find that they allow for a separate UDRP for handling
disputes regarding trade, including Ecommerce.  I read that as saying
that a "Universal UDRP" does not necessarily apply.  Given that is true,
Eric is right in trying to fight for his shoeshine boys to that extent.
My problem is that his so called "no such Dotcommers", are really
no such thing and such trade agreements are really not the purview
of ICANN per se.  Ergo, ICANN mission creep.
