<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; As you know, I have always felt that the UDRP as currently 
'existing', was and remains a very</P>
<P>questionably useful or transparently approach to domain name or otherwise 
disputes.&nbsp; Both</P>
<P>WIPO and ICANN are supposed to have oversight.&nbsp; Seems to me that each 
of our GAC representatives</P>
<P>should be actively participating at a minimum in that oversight.&nbsp; 
Additionally public oversight to the</P>
<P>extent possible is necessary and prudent.&nbsp; Exposing/whistelblowing 
where appropriate by same</P>
<P>provides for correction of judgment mistakes or brings to light corruption 
where evident.&nbsp; <BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>Since George brought the issue of cut and paste decisons and plagerism to 
our attention I have been forensically trying to get a handle on just who 
oversees the UDRP. Well the answer should come as no surprise, there really is 
none.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>WIPO has oversight as in "does UDRP protect copyright and trademark"? And 
that makes sense. One can say that ICANN has oversight function -- but there is 
no process that one can use there to complain about process in UDRP.&nbsp; And 
of course we have courts that do a de novo review of matters in UDRP, but those 
are in fact de novo and do not review the process just the results - and not 
really because it is in facto de novo non post facto. There is no judgment of 
the judges.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>So who does George complain to when he catches a "jurist" in UDRP cheating 
or being bribed or selling "verdicts"?&nbsp; Well the forensic report would 
tell him that historically nobody.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>So if anyone knows of somebody or group of somebodies that has actually 
directed UDRP jurists how to act and has authority to do so, It would be very 
interesting to know.</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Jeffrey
