[process2-comments] RFC-2

 Name: Christian Sampson Organization: Cyberminers I am surprised and concerned that WIPO are making publicly available comments on the Second Domain Name Process submitted on their website prior to WIPO making it clear that this correspondence would be published online. Although WIPO has recently changed the submission form on their website so that it now informs contributors that comments will be made publicly available, the majority of comments were submitted at a time when there were no indications that correspondence submitted to WIPO would be made available to third parties. This unfortunate situation not only constitute bad etiquette on behalf of WIPO, but it also highlights WIPO's poor understanding of personal privacy and intellectual property rights. Also, many small businesses and individuals might have used the opportunity to communicate with WIPO as a chance to raise their concerns freely under presumed conditions of anonymity. The publication of these comments by WIPO might therefore further have disadvantaged small companies and private individuals, since it makes it possible for large corporations aiming at reverse-hijacking domains to use opinions expressed in these comments, under presumed confidentiality, as evidence of bad faith in future domain name disputes. It all goes to illustrate the poor judgement abilities of WIPO, it's unfair bias toward large corporations, and it's failure to protect the legal rights of small companies and private individuals.
