I'm not so sure about that. At least trademark holders 
/don't/ get the domain simply by claiming trademark
rights. E.g., if Marc claims BIJT(tm) and I manage to 
register bijt.biz for my Better Investigative Journalism 
Training business, I'm informed of Marc's claim and 
Marc is informed of my registration. 

Marc is free to file a Startup Opposition Policy 
complaint, but if I "(as an individual, business, or other 
organization) have been commonly known by the domain name", 
even if I /haven't/ acquired trademark or service mark 
rights, then it is bona fide use and I can keep it. More 
importantly, the IP claims expire when .biz goes live.

(One may of course wonder whether this is worth $90. :))

Subject: [ga] RULES

There is a very old and somewhat true statement; everyone hates a lawyer
until you need one.  I like it's sister statement; next time you are
getting mugged call a Hippie.

We are avoiding creating rules, to better facilitate the GA.  We have
seen over the last several months that they are woefully inadequate, but
in that everything is running smooth we are ignoring the problem.

Aggravation and avoidance of invovlement come from a lack of clearly
defined ground rules. Due process requires openness and understanding of
exactly what is required of us. As children, we grow best with clearly
defined boundaries that we know those in control will also adhere to.

Mr. Corliss, would you use one of your "list admin" moves to send this
over to the new rules list and provide us the links to existing rules so
that we can begin progress on establishing some guidelines to make the
fulfillment of your job easier.

Sincerely,

You have published this on the GA list. Would you be so benevolent and
kind as to provide us humble and unsophisticated folks with some URLS
and maybe some link type stuff so we know what the heck you are talking
about.  I like to think you and Jeffsey are working from the same camp.
I guess we all must be slow to judge our moves and the ramifications
which they may have.

Any time and attention would be appreciated.

I also take this time Mr. Sheppard to thank you for the attention you
pay to the GA, obviously we do not always agree but the fact that you
participate is fantastic.

Sincerely,

Thank you to many,

I have already recieved great input from many of the usual helpful
suspects.

Distinctions within and without groups is a very important topic, from
the TLDA to the formation of an IDNH.  Capture is important to avoid and
inclusion is every groups life blood.

As Mr. Younger was recently chastized for writing regarding matters
involving the GA, now Mr. Morfin is called to answer for advocating
something which may be antogonistic toward a membership he holds. As Mr.
Corliss is on the board of the TLDA and also our Alt-Chair, Karl works
for a company which may benefit from BoD decisions. These are tough
issues.

We must live by the concept that we route around problems, where others
see walls we see momentary diversions, a chance to excel. Mr. Sheppard
has brought forth a valid point, but not one to take offense at or to be
angry with Mr. Morfin about.

I believe Joop may have great experience in resolving this type of
problem, clearly Corliss can offer helpful insight.  This is the GA and
we must maintain its' integrity to allow members from each group to
speak their mind and have their say.

Sincerely,

According to this article in Wired, NeuLevel does not have a Sunrise which grants trademark owners first right to the domain names.  Instead, it has a claim service which lets the domain name owners decide for themselves whether there is possible infringement.

Sorry, I got carried away a bit. I meant to say that the lottery
system, where anyone can buy as many tickets for a certain .BIZ
(acc. to ICANN) as (s)he likes, made me sick. Not so much the IP claim
system. It should be clear to anyone paying into that, that he gets
hot air.

From my own experience I know that 'grabbing' domains that expire (I
mean com/net/org) every day is a sort of a 'luck' system. Still there
one only pays if one gets the domain. The chances may be inequal
(connections, skills, servers), but it is not a casino. .BIZ is a
casino. _Public resources_ should not be distributed through a
casino. 

I will boycott .BIZ (acc. to ICANN) for this reason. I can think of
another reason to boycott it, vid. that there is another .BIZ, which
resolves for some time already. I can, however, stand the power play
of ICANN, ignoring alt roots (though I dont agree with it), but not
this money grabbing casino it established. This really drives me nuts.
Where are we going to? This is no longer a 'game'. This is evil. I
mean it.

Subject: [ga] Invitation

Philip,

Thank you for the kind invitation to address the Names Council with regard
to the GA work agenda.  As the General Assembly is in session prior to the
Names Council meeting, and as all Names Council representatives may take
advantage of attending the General Assembly meeting to hear about the GA's
work agenda, it will probably not be necessary to have me address the NC on
this topic (I understand that your time is somewhat limited - only a 3 hour
session -- and that you have many other important matters on your agenda).
I do, however, appreciate the courtesy that you have extended and would like
to reciprocate by inviting you (our Management) and the Chairs of your
Interim Committees to make a presentation to the GA.

I will be glad to set aside a full hour of time so that each Interim
Committee Chair will have ample opportunity to discuss the
Terms-of-Reference that their respective committees have decided upon, and
so that each may outline to the GA the degree to which we will be invited to
participate in committee efforts.

As the NC is responsible for the designation of such research or drafting
committees, working groups and other bodies of the GA as it determines are
appropriate to carry out the substantive work of the DNSO, we will look
forward to hearing your comments on which committees, working groups or
other bodies of the GA you will be designating to undertake such efforts.

Please let me know if 9:30 - 10:30AM will be convenient for yourself and the
Names Council Interim Committee Chairs.

Best regards,
Danny Younger

Louis,

We have noted that the the Business Constituency has posted this item on
their Stockholm meeting agenda :

2:05 pm  Alternate Root versus One-root-system (ICANN staff) Discussion

As the GA has brought this subject to the attention of the Names Council,
and as we have undertaken considerable discussion of this topic for some
time on both the GA list and on a new list dedicated to this subject, we
would be most appreciative of the opportunity to hear the ICANN Staff view
regarding alternate roots.   Would your staff be willing to also make such a
presentation to the GA?

Best regards,
Danny Younger

This is great Mr. Chair and exactly why I voted for you rather than myself.
;>}.  The agendas on some of the different lists seem to have stalled perhaps
you could ask each to give a preliminary paper to report, if only on progress.

Please also give your thoughts on "chairing" of each list, while I am too often
abusive of Mr. Corliss it is a tireless job he undertakes to single handedly
administer them all.   While Mr. Williams and I have disparaged him for assuming
a role of "list admin" we recognize the difficulty of running these start up
lists.

Thank you for all consideration and wellness to your family.
