Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. It is an opportunity for the ICANN community to effect change and improve policies and operations.
I am resolutely opposed to the proposed recommendations, which would inequitably skew the landscape for dispute resolution in favour of IGOs.
I fully support the submissions made by both George Kirikos and the Internet Commerce Association:
