Bret, Thanks very much for sharing the history of this matter. That iconic Jamaican poet Bob Marley said in song "If you don't know your history, you will not know your destiny." Here is what I said apropos subject on April 29th: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@uwimona.edu.jm> Date: Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 10:38 AM Subject: Re: [GTLD-WG] IRT Report Draft Now Available To: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca> Cc: Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org>, At-Large Staff < staff@atlarge.icann.org>, gtld-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org Goes to show how "navel gazing" can come from all types of folks! For I cannot even begin to understand how creating a second-class, separate and unequal protection for marks is good public policy! Actually, I lie......I can easily understand.......I will give my right arm its bound up somewhat with place of origin....!!

Bret,
P.S. Sometimes I think that I only stay involved in ICANN so I can be here when these history questions pop up. :-)
You might want to re-post your message about the "bodacioustata" WIPO case, a few year ago, it might be pretty appropriate here ;>)
