Classic WIPO double-dealing here. Keep the stakeholders busy with
discussion, churn them hard if you can, while you bulldoze the real agenda
through whatever legislature gains you the most clout, preferably all of them.
What can I say, it's working for them, most of the time. It will continue
to work while folks approach WIPO innocently.
Vint Cerf, today on CSPAN, said a very interesting thing. DNS and tradmarks
are in fundimental conflict. IMHO, the only resolution to that conflict is
the get trademark discussion OUT of DNS discussions. They should be made
unrelated, a huge schism needs to be emplaced. URL's are not trademark
targets. That common usage does differently should be an issue beteen the
TM contigient and the individual domain holder on a case-by-case basis, in
a court of competent jurisdiction.
