This is maybe a subject we should look into.
I will curse the day when we allow the corporate lawyers to decide the definition.
I think the UDRP did a fairly good job defining the stuff, but has been completely miscontrued by the attorneys, politicians, and judges, most of whom had no idea what they were talking about in the first place.

I agree, but I'm not sure about the "lease" from the legal POW.
The legal nature is still obscure in Brazil (intellectual property?
cession/right of use?), with some push to the trademarks from corporate
lawyers and IP agents.

Subject: Re: [At-Large] "Are Domains Property"
Seems to me that domains are property which is leasehold, ie if the owner
fails to pay the lease (registration fee) they lose their lease.

Guys,
This is something that will have a major impact on us all: ARE DOMAINS
"PROPERTY". This has been a question that has bobbled back and forth in
lawsuits and articles, opinion letters submitted by attorneys and
personal/corporate interests.
We thought we'd put it to rest by letting the Global Community manifest
their own opinions.
We're encouraging participation as this will have a significant bearing on
domain governance going forward.

Thank you all.
