Re: [nc-udrp] UDRP Questionnaire

[Ethan Katsh <katsh@legal.umass.edu>]

         I have been away and if Dan's suggestions below have already been 
implemented, I would be very pleased. But if people are still filling out a 
form that has the kind of format flaws Milton identifies below, or if there 
are questions that are confusing people, these should be fixed as quickly 
as possible. Given all this, we might be fortunate that there is as yet no 
notice of the questionnaire on the ICANN home page or the ICANN UDRP page. 
This, however, should be fixed quickly as well.
