I need some help here...

I have read Mexico City ICANN Board meeting resolution:

<http://icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-06mar09.htm#07>

7. Protection for Trademarks in New gTLDs

....
Therefore resolved (2009.03.06.06), that the Board requests the GNSO's
Intellectual Property Constituency in consultation with staff to
convene an Implementation Recommendation Team comprised of an
internationally diverse group of persons with knowledge, expertise,
and experience in the fields of trademark, consumer protection, or
competition law, and the interplay of trademarks and the domain name
system to develop and propose solutions to the overarching issue of
trademark protection in connection with the introduction of new gTLDs.
....

That the IRT group apparently own-up to contradicting on "An Open
Letter from the IRT Introducing our Work (To be read before reading
our report)" at
<http://icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/irt-final-report-trademark-protection-29may09-en.pdf>

"....The views of the IRT reflect the views of business and trademark
interests in general..."

------
Question: Is the IRT report in the first place valid if it was
prepared by a group other than as directed by the ICANN Board
resolution 2009.03.06.06 ?

Could someone please help me understand,

Alex
