Re: [ICANN-EU] A specific question for Lutz D

Joop and all,

  As you know already the whole ICANN process is ripe for
abuse.  And we have seen the such abuse in the DNSO on
more than one occasion as well as with WIPO.  This was
of course predicted, by yourself some time ago amongst
others.  ICANN is broken.  Can it be fixed?  We at
INEGroup once thought so, now there is great doubt...
