IP Justice opposes this illegitimate attempt to circumvent proper policy development process in the creation and imposition of a new gTLD policy. In addition to the inappropriate process utilized, the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) policy will chill freedom of expression as domain names will be quickly suspended without any fair opportunity for consumers to defend their lawful rights to use their domain names.

IP Justice Comment on .Cat and .Pro
Dear ICANN,
IP Justice appreciates this opportunity to provide public comment on the
attempt by ICANN staff to impose the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) policy on
the new generic top-level domains (GTLD) .cat and .pro. IP Justice is a San
Francisco based civil liberties organization that promotes balanced
intellectual property rights and Internet freedom policy.

IP Justice opposes this illegitimate attempt to circumvent proper policy
development process in the creation and imposition of a new gTLD policy. In
addition to the inappropriate process utilized, the Uniform Rapid Suspension
(URS) policy will chill freedom of expression as domain names will be quickly
suspended without any fair opportunity for consumers to defend their lawful
rights to use their domain names. Numerous Internet users will be unable to
use their domains without any due process based on nothing but overzealous
claims from trademark attorneys.
Particularly at the critical time when the world is watching ICANN to see if it
has begun to fix its accountability crisis, including the regular practice of
ICANN staff circumvention of bottom-up community- developed policy and its
continued disregard for the rights of ordinary Internet users, this
illegitimate imposition of a dangerous policy on the world's Internet users is
extremely disturbing.
Thank you,
Robin Gross
