Trademarking .generics - the .bank Fiasco!

• Comment posted Jan 26, 2012 10:16 pm PST — by Konstantinos Komaitis
  Granting a generic trademark is not solving ICANN problems - it is actually re-enforcing them. PTOs are there to apply the law- not the other way around. But, I agree with your conclusions John!

  Yes, the .bank mark has been cancelled. And I agree with you Paul - this doesn't solve a thing. We need to find a way to resolve the issue with generics and it is indeed something that ICANN and the…

Say No to WIPO's Proposal to Amend the PDDRP to Create New Law

  Jeff - I will agree with you. Starting with the basics, the main problem with the PDDRP is the direction that it pushes Registry Operators towards - to become content providers in order to 'survive' potential law suits and an…

ICANN UDRP and Contract Disputes

• Comment posted Sep 01, 2004 11:40 am PDT — by Konstantinos Komaitis
  The reality is that the UDRP is a faulty Policy with a lot of omissions. Everybody knows that it was initially created to fight the crime of cybersquatting, however the discretionary power afforded to panels and their wide interpretations of…

ICANN's First Official Report on Whois Data Problems

• Comment posted Apr 05, 2004 8:44 am PDT — by Konstantinos Komaitis
  At least ICANN is realising the problem and finally does something about it. Even though I believe that this action will not really fight the problem of the WHOIS database in its source, I hope to see the inaccuracies being…

UN Global Forum on Internet Governance
