Re: [ga] WLS Input - Greatest Good vs. Benefits of the Few

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear Sotiris,
The truly interesting point is the business squatting concept introduced 
via the DN once WLS has been contractually linked to UDRP. This implies the 
loss of ownership of the TM registered as domain names. I am really 
impatient to see how Joe Sims is going to word this out.

I note that there is another oddity in what you note: what you way is only 
true for DNs managed by VRSN, i.e. .com, .net, .tv (will they include it 
for .org before the transfer? ) This means that sotiris.com would be a 
property and sotiris.ca would be simple designation.  Hmmmm. Seems they 
forgot about the old issue of the Chilean Constitution.....

I will go and start a Coca proof "Cook'a Cola" business in Chile while they 
will mourn the loss of 48,6% of their capital (the value of the CocaCola 
TM) in Atlanta.

I do enjoy!

Chuck, are you really sure this is what you want? :-)
