Hi there Charles,
For those from the non-commercial sector and free culture/free speech
components, you may want to pass around a few materials. The non-commercial
constituency at ICANN is strongly opposed to the IRT proposal for trademark
protection on both substantive and procedural grounds. Details via the
following two links:

http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncucs-substantive-comments-on
http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncucs-procedural-comments-on

Also note that I wrote a blog post recently about free speech and ICANN:
http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2009/07/icann-and-free-speech.html

..and about China's re-engagement with ICANN for the first time in many
years:
http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2009/07/china-icann-thoughts-from-former-ceo-paul-twomey.html

I'm copying Kathy Kleiman from the NCUC who led the effort against the IRT
in New York and who I'm sure will be happy to provide more details.

Best,
Rebecca
