This is one of the big issues in all of ICANN at the moment. At-Large has taken the lead in the formal process which can begin a Policy Development Process at the GNSO by requesting an Issues Report be drawn up. You can find the request here: http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg03474.html
