Thank you very much to Konstantinos, Mary, Milton, Bill, and the  
others who contributed to NCUC's statement on the New gTLD Guidebook.

BTW: An interesting comment was published by .org on the new gtld  
process and draft applicant guidebook.

The PIR comment describes some of the problems with creating new  
rights for "communities" at the expense of other legitimate  
interests.  NCUC has had similar objections to this new idea of  
"community rights" because they subjugate individual rights to  
"community" rights (and are a new concept for law and policy).

And PIR also addresses the VERY BIG PROBLEM of ICANN staff's plan to  
eliminate review of DRP decisions by real courts of law.

Best,
Robin
