 Name: Mishkin Berteig Organization: Berteig Information Systems Position: Founder I am very happy that a body of the United Nations has been established to handle domain name disputes. I understand that WIPO is considering expanding the conditions under which a domain name registration may be considered for transfer to a dispute plaintif. As a holder of several domains, all of which I am using or intend to use for legitimate personal or business purposes, I am quite concerned that the scope remain focused on the issue of "bad faith" registrations. I do not have any explicit problem with the scope being expanded to geographical names, trade names, and so forth, so long as the plaintif must demonstrate "bad faith" registration on the part of the defendant. Regardless of the content WIPO's final decision, I hope that WIPO will document carefully all the arguements for and against their decision so that the process may be as open to critical review as possible. Domain names are a very valuable commodity and many people have invested significant amounts of time, money, and more importantly, hope into developing web presenses. Do not let this historical effort, these "sunk" costs to become ignored. Thanks, Mishkin.
