I'm glad to see more comments and contributions from NCUC'ers and like-minded friends on the IRT proposals! While my take on the IRT report may differ to some extent from some of you (I'm on the IRT), I think it's important to make those public comments so that divergent views and alternative proposals can emerge. The final IRT report will be released toward the end of this week, and I encourage everyone with an interest in the intersection of trademark law and domain name policy, as well as those who are concerned about how the new gTLDs will operate, to track it and comment. I will be happy to discuss the final report once it's released; there will also be a public forum at the Sydney meeting that I encourage everyone who will be there to attend.
