Suhail Rana ( ) Domebase Proposal (Open Microphone, 9/9/2001 10:43:29 PM, #1366) From the author of the Domebase Proposal My study of a random 11,000+ Sunrise registrations estimated around half were technically inconsistent with TM rules. Manual review gave plausible ones the benefit of the doubt -- including companies registering variations on a TM as originally requested by the IPC -- leaving 15-25% as probably bogus. The percentage is much greater for valuable non-trademarked names. People who registered non-trademarked names in the Land Rush are being cheated out of a chance at those names and their pre-registration fees. The DomeBase Proposal (see DomeBase.com) would correct this to the benefit of ICANN, Afilias, legitimate trademark holders, registrars, and LandRush pre-registrants. Without correction, future Sunrise periods may be in doubt. Afilias' current course of action leaves LandRush pre-registrants, and registrars as well, twisting in the wind. Please adopt the DomeBase Proposal. Thank you. Sincerely, Bob Connor

Suhail Rana ( ) (Open Microphone, 9/9/2001 10:41:36 PM, #1365) Afilias failed to make clear that it would not carry out a thorough check of Sunrise registratons and as a result let down it's Landrush customers. Should these customers not be compensated by ensuring their requests are included in Landrush 2 without having to any pay more fees?

veni markovski ( ) ccTLD redelegation (Open Microphone, 9/9/2001 5:59:08 PM, #1343) Vint, the problems with redelegation should not be avoided, or delayed by ICANN. As you, and the BoD is well aware of, in Bulgaria we have reached an agreement between the government, ISOC, the ISP association, the academic network, and the educational network. The only party not agreed (of course) is the current TLDA, who are also authors of the current rules, ISP, and there is no appeal body to complain to.. In situations like this ICANN should be more flexible with redelegation. veni

richard forman (register.com) New TLDs (Public Comment on New TLDs, 11/16/2000 4:09:38 AM, #1122) ICANN was authorized to increase competition in the domain name system. It has done so in the face of substantial adversity and many parties have tried to derail the process. Throughout these challenges, there has been one consistent theme -- progress. This process began many years ago and there has been a substantial amount of discussion, working groups and consideration preceeding the moment that we are at today. I believe that a successful challenge to ICANN and delay to the introduction of new TLDs at this point in time might pose a risk to the entire ICANN initiative. The risk is that control and management would revert to the Department of Commerce -- an event that few people involved with the Internet desire. I encourage you to accept as many applications as you believe adequately and appropriately address the guidelines set forth in Yokohama, Japan. Whatever you do, do not delay. Thank you, Richard Forman

Samo Kutos (9/26/2000 11:46:44 PM, in-room, #908) Does DMCA really follow technology in defining plausible behaviour, i. e. does it allow copyright owners to protect the work from any kind of usage - which effectively means that copyright is enlarged? Wouldn't it be more precise to say that it allows the owners to protect more effectively those AND JUST THOSE rights protected by "traditional" copyright? Should the owner try to enlarge his/her rights, law should not find this "enlarging" protection to be legal.

jenny lee dmca (9/26/2000 11:41:40 PM, in-room, #907) what is the punishment for violating the DMCA? jail? fines? is this laid out in the statute?

T.J. Duane "effectively control" (9/26/2000 11:25:13 PM, in-room, #906) The argument went back and forth regarding what is meant by "effective control," in defense of the legislature I wanted to advance that we wrote in to Subsection a(3)A of the DMCA that a technological measure effectively controls access to a work if the measure requires the application of information or a process or a treatment, with the authority of the copyright owner, to gain access to the work Jane required this info and therefore her actions were a violation.

Douglas Kiang (9/26/2000 10:50:19 PM, in-room, #896) The more obtrusive and evident the technology is, the farther to the right the technology boundary would be. Ideally, (IMHO) the technology boundary should be toward the left, where it only gets called into play when the user oversteps the legal boundary. We should give the user the chance to regulate his/her behavior and only step in when the legal boundary is crossed.

The fact that J.crew won Icann case is unforgotten,it is exactly the same as other generic terms out there .. it seems like icann is motivated by large businesses and does not really help the ordinery person online ,I`d like to know why icann arbitrators have so many conflicted solutions for similar cases ?

Jessica Westbrook Reverse Hijacking (At Large Membership, 7/15/2000 4:36:05 AM, #855) Why is it that ICANN makes no provisions for those of us that are reverse-hijacking victims? We have to just sit and live in fear and wait to be sent a notice ... which frequently never comes because the trademark owner knows they are wrong and this is wrong and clearly biased against my constitutional rights. I pay for my websites the same as anyone else and should have equal treatment. Is there anything being considered to offset this inequity ?

Gene Marsh (anycastNET Inc.) (New TLDs, 7/15/2000 2:51:54 AM, #840) Vin Cerf's comments are well spoken. However, there can be a natural and organic segregation by affinity group among diparate TLDs.
