I think Marc's point highlights the real issue here ...the need for a mechanism to protect IGO and country names (where appropriate) in every existing (and future) TLD ...not to create new space.

But in my view new sTLDs are not needed. For IGOs there is already .int (as in wipo.int). And countries have their ccTLDs. I do like the idea, that having your own space (TLD), means your are not entitled to the rest of the name space. Marc On Fri, 3 Dec 2004, at 16:48 [=GMT+1300], Alick Wilson wrote:
Colleagues, I wonder if there is a case to be made for new sTLDs for international intergovernmental organizations (say .igo) and countries (say .country)?
While these would not deal directly with offending sites in the rest of the gTLD namespace, it would at least provide a single official address for IGOs and countries.
The concept could, of course, be extended to other sensitive types of name.
Am I right off track or does this have some merit?

All,
Please find enclosed the letter and its annex from WIPO that we received last week.
I understand there were some technical issues with getting it on the web-site but as soon as these are arranged it will go up, hopefully already today. I would like to offer my excuses for that.
regards
Paul
