After having spent seven years in academia, I joined the Internet Society in July 2012 as a policy advisor. I am currently focusing on issues of Digital content and Internet governance. I am the author of the book "The Current State of Domain Name Regulation" available by Routledge. All views expressed are my own.

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

Comment posted May 05, 2010 9:12 pm PDT — by Konstantinos Komaitis
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…

Summary Judgment Denied in a Case of Creative Typosquatting

Comment posted Sep 07, 2006 9:53 am PDT — by Konstantinos Komaitis
Logic judgement and well reasoned. Cybersquatting is now outdated and typosquatting is becoming more popular. If only the UDRP decisions were as reasoned as ACPA ones.

With all do respect to Mr. Ram Mohan, if the article has lost any of its credibility, similarly your comments certaintly do not help...and I am seeing it from a legal point of view unlike you that you only see…

To the defense of this article, I have to clarify that its main thesis has been that if we are already facing problems with no solutions with Internet 1.0, with Internet 2.0 (I am not technical but I can understand…

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

Comment posted Apr 01, 2004 3:38 pm PST — by Konstantinos Komaitis
It is really important to understand the impact of internet governance before we are able to determine which entity will be responsible for it. The issue seems to be me like the Aladin's Lamp; every time we rub it the…
