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-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:

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
