Name: G. James Philput Organization: Nortel Networks Position: Lab Operator I have just read about this process on CNet News's web site, and would like to comment. I do not think thatweb addresses should be taken away when they are ambiguous, but contain a word that is the same as a word in the name of a company. For example the awarding of crew.com to J. Crew. The domain name there was not the same as the company name, or even one that someone typing in random domains would have thought of for the J. Crew company. As to personal names, what would happen if someone named Tom Jones registered tomjones.com as a personal web site having nothing to do with the singer Tom Jones. Would that individual have their domain yanked? I think that the scope of what you are doing needs to be looked at a bit more carefully. If you are just going after the cybersquatters, fine, but don't take down honest business persons, and individuals just because a larger company or more powerful person happens to want what someone else owns. |
