Hi Carlos - Simple statements looks like a progress, but what I believe we should do is clearly suggest WIPO to come out with new rules related to intellectual property more related to this new reality. We may publish a paper in several languages about it, may be someone in WIPO will read it..

Is clear your position and I agreed with you. Isn't work of ICANN, ALAC or another into this organization to create law rules. wasn't my proposal. The idea is: ICANN, can help, giving some statements and procedures, obviously not laws,or promote those!. Just need to put head to work. For example, ICANN can decide and declare that Domain Names and Trademarks have nothing to do ones with others. With this mere statement you can eliminate a huge number of conflicts. My two cents.

Dear All. Legal traditions are that !!! old and tradicional law. World has changed and the paradigms the same ! We need to have new rules for new situations inside of the new Information Society and their new paradigms.
You are right Carlos, the world has changed and Internet has evolved as a platform where electronic commerce, social and political interactions take place and much more, and like any system that evolves over time not only the technology has to keep pace with evolution, services, rules and regulations have to adapt as well.
But when you get into legal matters and the advancement requires modernizing the existing laws or creating new ones, is not ICANN's job, not mine, not yours not ALAC or any other body besides the law makers representing the people and for those like us that have the benefit of living in a democratic society, those law makers are elected officials.
We can study the matter, generate discussions and exchange of ideas, and produce recommendations, but not make the law or try to exploit the loopholes on existing laws.
Like any other organization, ICANN can (within what is allowable by applicable laws and the terms of the current agreement with the DoC/NTIA) change its bylaws and establishing the rules and regulations to govern itself, but by no means ICANN was created as a global governing body of the Internet.
And if we are claiming to be a bottom-up organization we have to do a much better job to facilitate the participation to the "bottom" in the process.
My .02 Jorge
