Browsing through documents published on the ICANN site I saw that the 
concept of  "The DNS is public space" asserted by GAC has been used 
affermatively by Louis Touton in answering to a letter claiming a copyright on 
'.BIZ'  new gTLD proposal.
I think that this fact may be used, if needed, in order to have ICANN acting in 
a consistent way on the issue of "DNS=public space".
