[PC-NCSG] Mark Monitor's counter attack

[Avri Doria]

Ps.  One reason I am not interested in taking on the challenge myself in a formal sense, is that the issue has risen to the level of legal language.  Beyond my competency.

If we are going to respond, it should be one of the lawyers that crafts the language.  

Or perhaps Kathy would want to answer for herself as she seems to be singled out by the counterclaim - though we are all named.

Perhaps in insisting people ignore the rest of the comments, they will now see why the TM people would like for our comments to be ignored and will explain the attack the messenger effect.

The comment from the lawyers (who are coincidentally the representatives for many IP interests in ICANN) to which the Mark Monitor letter was attached is a start for the response to those COI issues. As transparency is one of the key issues at ICANN, it is good to see COI issues called out, and responded to.
