[wg-review] (IDNH) Terms of Reference

[Sotiropoulos <sotiris@hermesnetwork.com>]

Does anybody on this List wonder why companies like Procter and Gamble can get away with registering and SELLING domains like FLU.COM & 
HEADACHE.COM without being labelled as "cybersquatters"?  There are in fact Live and pending US, UK, & Canadian Trademarks for both words, none 
of them by P&G.  Interestingly, the word `headache' is trademarked by Hasbro, Inc.  One wonders why there's no news of a suit yet... I guess the libellious 
slander term "cybersquatter" applies only to the little people (IDNHs) and NOT the corporate giants.  I suppose SIZE is everything after all!  I wonder if we 
might not also wish to substantiate a definition of the term "cybersquatter" along with one for "domain name".
