Re: [council] Current draft of Fadi's requested communication from council

I think Fadi has made it very clear during the meeting in Amsterdam that he has 
now understood the BC and IPC requests that led to the strawman as a second 
bite of the apple, as he called it. The proposed contents of the strawman would 
certainly constitute an expansion of the rights of a trademark holder in the 
domain world. I therefore support sending the draft letter as is.
