For those who may have missed it, ISOC's Public Interest Registry is
planning to establish by the end of the quarter a new compulsory private
arbitration system that would allow copyright owners to cancel .org
domain names based on allegations of copyright infringement:

This is also being pushed as an international best practice standard for
other domain registries to adopt:

This hardly seems like a measure that's in the "public interest".  What
do ISOC members think about this proposal?
