WIPO, TLDs and Trademarks

Michael Froomkin writes "I am the public interests representative on a World Intellectual Property Group (WIPO) experts group panel advising on rules to sort out conflicts between domain names and trademarks. I have come to believe that WIPO's Interim Report, RFC 3, unfairly stacks the deck for large, corporate, trademark holders, and against small firms, consumers, and non-trademark holders. Please see A Critique of WIPO's RFC 3 for full details. It's long, and it is not pretty. "
