Hi,
The distinction between International law and International legal instruments is interesting because these are just one component of International Law. Thanks for the clarification. I think, however, that we need to be cognizant of International Law, not just the legal instruments. I also think that the RCRC movements arguments go beyond the international legal instruments.
As I understood the various documents (from GAC and the Board external legal review), the difference RC?IOC and the rest is the combination of international agreements coupled with national laws for the former. Certainly not my area aof expertise, but that statement was made repeatedly.
On the difference between the issues, ie. ICRC, IFRC, RCRC movement (the national organizations). As far as I understand:
RedCoss.tld is an IFRC issue
Perhaps, but their various national counterparts seem to take responsibility for defending the core name within their territories (or so it sounds from the various descriptions I have heard).
AmericanRedCross.tld or SvenskaRödKorset.tld or .tld are national movement issues - are these included in the moratorium?
Do not believe so.
Have there been any national movement lawsuits or governmental actions? I believe there have been UDRP actions, but that makes them more like everybody else.
The UDRPs are based, I think, on the fact that some local Red Cross organizations have trademarked the names in their territories.
I think this is data we need to collect as part of the policy process.
Agreed.
