Hey Joe, you can't argue with a lawyer like that.  Just tell them that =
the word "speculation" really means "property rights" and they shut up =
and go to sleep. As far as Michael's main point=20
=20
> What is it, exactly, about permitting trademark owners priority to =
register
>their trademarks as secondary names in new commercial domains
>that threatens the structure of the Internet or free speech?=20
=20
The answer is as follows:

(1)    It is a well-known legal maxim that "he who asserts, must prove". =
 Therefore those claiming PRIORITY must show that their private rights =
supersede the public rights to domain names.
=20
(2)    There are a multitude of classes of goods and services recognised =
in international trade-mark law (see, for example, the 42 categories =
below in Australia).  These classes are not ranked by hierarchy making =
it impossible to determine competing claims to the same trade-mark.

(3)     With dot coms being used internationally, there is extreme doubt =
that trademarks registered in the US should have priority over those =
registered in perhaps 200 other countries.
=20
(4)    And even within the US there are competing claims between Federal =
and State systems of registration. For example, which State would take =
precedence in a dispute between competing registrations in different =
States?  Or should federal law prevail thus denying States' rights?
=20
(5)   Even within the trademark system, there is a serious conflict =
between trademark legislation and common law rights.  This is a matter =
for the Courts to determine on a case-by-case basis.
=20
(6)    From a practical viewpoint, the creation of a bureaucracy to =
allocate domain names on the basis of competing claims, is fraught with =
danger.  Apart from the cost involved, it will inevitably lead to claims =
of bias, unfair process and delay.
=20
(7)    To ensure fair play, an administrative appeal process will need =
to be established which in turn is subject to judicial review and =
appeal.  This is an unnecessary hindrance.

Of course, all of this makes work for lawyers giving them a "gravy =
train" to feed on.  They are not stupid, just greedy.

Subject: Re: [ga] Comments on WG B report.

Dear Name Council members:

This is Myung-koo Kang who are organizing a non-commercial group, Korean
Internet Forum since Icann started. Postponing the deadline is crucial for our
group and some other South Korean NGOs to elaborate and discuss the issue. The
Korea Internet Forum(KIF) had started the campaign for the icann at-large
membership last week of April. Ninty-nine percent of commercial and
non-commercial groups had really hard time to understand what Icann is. Now
KIF asked them to post their opinion on the Working Group B report. If the Name
Concil wants to have different voices, i think the deadline has to be
postponed.

Best regards,

myung-koo Kang

Subject: [ga] Subscriptions to the DNSO General Assembly voting registry

[ To: [email-masked] ]
[ To: [email-masked], [email-masked], WGs, liaison7c ]

Dear DNSO GA Memebrs,

As per the posted proposal for a GA voting registry sent
by Harald Tveit Alvestrand on 19 April 2000:
   http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc04/msg00341.html
you can now register to vote in GA votes through E-mail.

The GA voting registry is open to the DNSO General Assembly,
those persons who want to be members of that assembly.
At present, this includes "ex-officio" the subscribers to
the GA-lists, the participants to the DNSO Constituencies
and the participants to the Working Groups.

A list of memebrs who already subscribed to the DNSO voting
registry is posted on the Website, see "DNSO GA voting registry"
on the main page, http://www.dnso.org/secretariat/rosterindex.html
