Name: John David Galt Organization: individual Position: none It seems to me that any WIPO process for deciding who owns a domain names is going to improperly deprive their holders of due process. WIPO should butt out of the question and let the contenders go to court to decide who owns a name. (And until the court orders otherwise, whoever registered the name first should get to keep it.) In the few cases where the contenders live in different countries and their courts can't agree which country has jurisdiction, it should be sufficient just to establish a simple rule (for example, "the country of the company that first registered the name has jurisdiction"). An international body that undermines the Rule of Law is worse than none at all. This goes for ICANN as well as WIPO. |
