Let's please coordinate this with Jeff and the registries, since he'd
mentioned sponsoring a motion.

I can try to fit it in somewhere else, perhaps in one of the following whereas clauses which argues for doing the PDP, if you want it stated.

By suggesting a focus on process and substance and multiple working groups the risk is (even supposing the motion is successful) that the task is too big. Perhaps a smaller more tightly focused piece of work would have more chance of getting traction and be more difficult to argue against?
> This is a valid point and I totally agree with it. Although there are various issues concerning the substance of the UDRP, it might be wise to initiate a PDP on the process of the UDRP and then continue with the substance. This way we have a two-stage approach, which is more organized and we can say that it won?t create as many problems. I remember that the IPC was particularly concerned with changing the substance (although they also had issues with the process), so this might be a compromise.

> Again great suggestion Joy. One thing ? the UDRP is mainly focusing on the gTLDs (although it has been implemented by ccTLD operators and Registries). So, we can suggest that initially we would like to focus on those disputes concerning free speech (mainly paragraph 4(c)(iii)) and the way this provision is interpreted. Another one is the bad faith registration AND use, which is interpreted by some panels as bad faith registration OR use ? going against the policy itself.

I'm in airports tomorrow morning and get on a plane for Asia around noon EST, so either someone else takes over the drafting pen if this is too far from what you had in mind and takes charge of sending it in, or if you can let me know ASAP, I can send it in either as-is or with just a bit of tinkering.
