Oliver and fellow Delegates,<div><br></div><div>I am pretty sure that the identification of the protection of Intellectual Property and Marks for ICANN is specifically as it related to Internet naming and directly in respect of a Name.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I do not believe it includes the entire area of litigation over Intellectual Property rights or the authority to adjudicate the entires area of the use of a Name for doing business and other aspects...</div>

Cohen, Senior Partner at Shapiro Cohen replied that this was false: according to
