Please see attached the full report and the presentation to the RT by the International Trademark Association (INTA) Exec Director on results of the study on impact of new gTLDs on brand owners. Note that based on the results - and the subjects are their own members - INTA is cautiously opining the results represent "*an indicator of a trend and not the trend itself"*. Circular reasoning aside, the principal indicator of trend reported says *"registrations of new TLDs were overwhelmingly made for defensive purposes...*". The report itself is 75 pages but if you read the explanatory notes you will learn how to get to the good parts. -Carlton ============================== *Carlton A Samuels* *Mobile: 876-818-1799Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
