 Name: Edwin Philogene In WIPO's latest proposal, the inclusion of tradenames as a potential basis for delegation of Internet addresses is a mistake and will prove to raise more greivance from the general public against the WIPO body and its decisions as a whole if enacted. The parameters for so-called "tradenames" are too broad and arbitrary and will prove overwhemingly unfair and biased against those entrepreneurs who have sought out unique Internet identities that may coincidentally draw similarities to organizations that are in early stages of development, are unknown and/or have not made any attempt to protect their so-called "tradenames." Only legally registered tradmarks and patents should be considered in arbitration and, even in those instances, provisions should be made in the cases where there is no "general knowledge" of the domain used in the public domain. A trademark should be registered for at least six months before any company should have the right to legally procure a directly ! conflicting domain name. Conversely, the proposals for geographic terms and personal names are sound and should help arbitration in obvious conflicts.
