Maher Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 11:39 AM To: REGYCON-L@NIC.MUSEUM Subject: [REGYCON] IPC Proposed Revised IGO DRP Olof: Chuck Gomes asked me to reply to your question: about the inner meaning of what you call the "treaty route". Would that imply a) all IGOs do like the Red Cross and nail the name protection in their respective treaties or b) some overarching treaty for all IGOs clarifying name protection for them all, a kind of "Paris Convention +" or c) something else? The answer is all of the above. The "treaty route" is the way nations to protect their national interests and the jurisdiction of their courts. David David W.
