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.
