RE: [nc-udrp] UDRP Review Questionnaire

Caroline -

        

You had
proposed deleting the following question (no. 18) for the reason stated
in parentheses.

18. Should decisions be in the public domain or should they be the
intellectual property of the providers.(I
believe question 16 addresses this)

        

Question
16 states:
16. Do you believe copies of the complaints and responses should be
publicly accessible? Why or why not?

        

In
proposing question 18, I had in mind the issue of ownership, not access,
and I was referring to the decisions, not the complaints and responses.
The decisions, of course, have always been accessible, but opportunities
to use them or add value to them can be affected by claims of ownership
of them.  Perhaps question 18 can be made clearer but I don't think
question 16 addresses the same issue.
