Alf Hanson, WIPO's choice ICANN AL candidate? was:Re: [ICANN-EU] Re: WIPO

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Marc and all,

  Yes, I believe that we have established that Alf is a "WIPO-lover".
Pity indeed!  As such he is not likely to be able to represent the
AL members of ICANN in good stead.  But of course, he is still
likely a nice enough fellow....  >;)

  Sorry Alf, but you still fail to grasp the scope of the
problem with the UDRP and WIPO in general.  Hence,
your candidacy is circumspect because you either have
little concern for the "Little People/DN holders" or you are
being purposefully disingenuous....  I prefer to believe it is the
former....  I hope I am right....  Maybe WIPO is hiring!
Brush up your resume and FAX them a copy.  E-Mail is not
WIPO's thing you know!  >;)
