So I'm resending it here with a link to the .pdf instead: http://www.ipjustice.org/ICANN/drafts/PDFPDPDec05FRPartA30July07.pdf See below. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ICANN New GTLD Policy and Public Comments Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:12:29 -0700 From: Robin Gross <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Organization: IP Justice To: [log in to unmask] Colleagues, Attached is the final report (part A) of the new gtld committee's recommendations.
