As the participation in the community continues to expand to all parts of the world, ICANN anticipates adjusting the model to include other areas such as Latin America/Caribbean Islands, South America, Africa and the Middle East. http://blog.icann.org/?p=353 ICANN: Public Comment Period Now Open for Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy Denials Definitions PDP The GNSO Council approved on 4 September 2008 a motion on the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (IRTP) Denial Definitions Public Development Process (PDP).

Everything Good company monikers suggest rather than describe; great ones have the flexibility to survive unforeseen changes or expansion - How to Trademark: The USPTO may register common non-descriptive names, but they run the risk of conflict with other similar names. The more common a name, the less likely the USPTO will register it. An exception is when an entrepreneur owns a generic domain name--a word that cannot usually be trademarked on its own. For example, the company that owns Cars.com may want to use Cars.com as its name to make a direct association between the company and the website. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26759822/ Sedo Domain Jargon Buster!
