Barry,
When you analyze this it's anyone with a recognizable mark. This is really just a special case of intellectual property protection.
That is exactly the position of GNSO - there are already protection mechanisms in place for intellectual property protection in the procedures. Somehow some IGO's just seem to want to be special.
The devil as always is in the details. My sense is that in principle everyone wants to do the right thing but what exactly that right thing is remains unclear. A success would be formulating some overarching resolution which will be useful in the no doubt many other cases which will come forward. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
