Subject: WIPO RFC-1
August 12, 1998
A-TCPIP/Domain Name Rights Coalition (DNRC) requests an extension of time for all commenters to respond to the WIPO RFC-1 proceeding. DNRC is concerned that the WIPO RFC-1 proceeding is not receiving the attention it deserves from the Internet community due to the heavy staff and time obligations associated with the worldwide IFWP Internet Governance meetings. It is clear to us that both the Internet Governance Meetings and the WIPO RFC-1 proceeding are important to the creation of authority and responsible policies for the Internet and the new Entity proposed by the White Paper.
So that organizations do not have to choose between participation in the Internet Governance meetings and participation in the WIPO RFC-1 proceeding, DNRC requests that WIPO extend the deadline for replies to RFC-1 by at least one week and preferably two weeks. This brief delay will not disadvantage the WIPO process, and there is much to gain with increased participation.
We note that WIPO has yet to list its panel of experts that will be meeting to consider the comments. The panel - which we trust will include experts on both intellectual property and free speech/open communication - was promised in mid-August, and in all events, should be posted at least one week prior to the deadline for comments. We also note that current commenters to the RFC-1 have suggested flexibility in the schedule.
DNRC respectfully requests a email response to this message, in addition to any response posted to the WIPO website.
Thank you,
Kathryn A. Kleiman
General Counsel and Co-Founder, A-TCPIP/DNRC
