Re: [ga] Stolen domains, transfers, WHOIS, audit trails,and systemintegrity
Ummmmmmm Marilyn,
I have to disagree with you here. This IS outside IP law. The rules
adopted give TM holders singificant protection that goes beyond existing
law. ummmmm...that is the whole point of it! To say ICANN relies on
existing trademark law...when existing trademark law was obviously
perceived as insufficient in the first place for the needs of TM
holders...well...I would call it 'interesting' but flawed.....

I am not a lawyer, but I was there through all of this debate, and played a rather visible and central role in developing the concept. ICANN relies on existing trademark law.
