[At-Large] New gTLD implementation Consultation Session London 15 July 2009

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

One more point, which I wanted to write separately:

I've heard a lot of people say that Intellectual Property & the work of the IRT fell outside ICANN's scope.

Someone asked this specific question & Jonathan Cohen, Senior Partner at Shapiro Cohen replied that this was false: according to him, the ICANN bylaws & principles mention protection of Intellectual Property & Marks, and that therefore, the IRT's proposals fall completely *in line* with ICANN's *core mission*.

I'd be interested if this was confirmed/denied.
