[Chapter-delegates] Interesting comments via Robert Guerra

[Glenn McKnight]

A  recent post by Robert Guerra  has cross posted this post....

For those who may have missed it, ISOC's Public Interest Registry is planning
to establish by the end of the quarter a new compulsory private arbitration
system that would allow copyright owners to cancel .org domain names based
on allegations of copyright infringement:

nk-as-org-adopts-udrp-for-copyright

This is also being pushed as an international best practice standard for other
domain registries to adopt:

tive-censorship-through-shadow-regulation

This hardly seems like a measure that's in the "public interest".  What do
ISOC members think about this proposal?
