Ah, but it'd be a great bit of flag-waving PR for ICANN.

Don't worry about NAF completely ignoring the UDRP rules.

Don't worry about Registrars holding names to ransom in an attempt to
maintain market share.

Don't worry about reversing our mandate and handing Verisign back its
stranglehold.

Nah. Write those problems out of our contracts. Not ICANN's responsibility.

But hey! Yeah! This'll give us some brownie points with Joe Average US Citizen!

We'll be heroes!

Barf.

barcelona.com stolen, stmoritz.com stays. What's uniform about the UDRP?
We could ask ICANN to send WIPO a clue, but do they have any to spare?
