Re: [council] UDRP interim committee

Hi Milton,

I take it from this that your constituency is concerned about the quality of
decisions made by UDRP providers - that is, with the implementation of the
UDRP, rather than with the principles established in the UDRP.
From my perpspective, I would be happy to support ToR which call for a
report on the quality of decision making (particularly with repect to the
appreciation by decision makers of x,y,z), as well as the principles
incorporated into the UDRP (is the scope too wide, too narrow, ambiguous,
etc).
