As we know the The Special Trademarks Issues Working Team (STI) has published its Report which is now available for comment at http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201001.htm#sti I am today following a thread on a local NY list where a fellow who has the following: http://www.mobileappstore.com/ http://www.mobileappstore.net/ http://www.mobileappstore.org/ http://www.mobileappstore.mobi/ was contacted by the owner of: http://手机应用商店.cn (parked) http://手机应用商店.com (resolves to http://www.mobilecloudapps.com/ ) 手机应用商店 translates to mobileappstore He's a little miffed, saying things like
WTF!! how is this going to work???
I could register the domain for Paypal.com in hewbrew tomorrow and anyone who use the hewbrew version of their keyboard would be going to a totally different website that i control and as long as i'm not phishing there is nothing paypal can do??
Am I totally misinterpreting the situation here?
I've responded pointing out that the proposed TC and URS are aimed to deal with this sort of thing, and the GPML was a non-starter. My question is, how likely is it that, and how much, will the new processes apply to second-level IDN's on existing registries, or are they likely to stick with the UDRP exclusively?
