Finally... a DNS-related discussion has emerged on web405: The issue concerns the registration of individual names. An example was cited of a teacher whose personal name was registered by another person with the intent to make her look bad. The initial proposal was that the proper name of a human being should be restricted in the DNS only to those people with that particular name. Further discussions noted that the UDRP is not the proper vehicle for a resolution of this type of dispute (...and we all know that revisions to the UDRP have been warranted for some time). This is a topic that the "Protection of the Rights of Others Working Group" didn't touch (as their sole focus appears to be on enhancing protections for commercial Intellectual Property interests). In my view, this issue bears examination. If others agree, an Issues Report should be requested. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
