 Name: Jay Orr Organization: Fujitsu Nexion Inc Position: Systems Administrator I think that unless there is an obvious intention to capitalize on the ownership of a domain name (i.e. cybersquatting), that name changes shouldn't be done. Tradenames is too broad a catagory - disputes should only be for Copyrighted and trademarked names. If a company isn't so concerned about a tradename being misused that that they can't bother to copywrite/trademark it, then it isn't important enough to take away the domain name from a current owner. Many tradenames become public domain words that should be treated as such. Should we outlaw people calling junk E-mail "Spam" because that's a trade name? The distinction needs to be made somewhere.
