Re: [ga] Interesting WIPO ruling re: NewZealand.biz

ummmmmmmm,
I have been following this thread in silence for a while but I fear its time
for me to say something.

My 'something' is in the form of a question: the question is.........
why bother? as everyone agrees.... .int is sparsely populated.  So why mess
with it?  Are we setting an example? are we setting precedents for others to
follow? at the end of the day...will it make a difference?  with so many .org
and .net that dont appear to follow the rulez... since we appear to agree it is
impractical to make changes there...why bother worrying about dot int?
sure...as Roberto says, it is probably possible.  But many things are
possible.  Would our energies not be better spent doing something that actual
makes a difference?
