["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au>]

Hello All,

From: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/gurry-letter-to-cerf-lynn-21feb03.htm
and
http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-12mar03.htm

The Board has given the GNSO until 12 May 2003 to provide comments on the matters raised in the WIPO letter.

WIPO proposes that Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP)  be modified to allow  international intergovernmental organizationss to file complaints in respect of the abusive registration of their protected names and acronyms.

This will be discussed at the next meeting of the GNSO on 17 April 2003.

The GNSO Council representatives (Bruce Tonkin, Thomas Keller, and Ken Stubbs) would appreciate any comments before then.

Regards,
Bruce
