RE: [bc-gnso] Legal Developments

["Deutsch, Sarah B" <sarah.b.deutsch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Wanted to make sure the BC was aware of the following legal developments:

1. Domain Name company Sedari was sued (see link the article and complaint 
below and also note who pops up in the sponsored ad)
http://domainincite.com/former-icann-cfo-sues-sedari-over-e100k-deal/


2. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board issued a ruling that .Music is not 
registrable as a trademark.  This is an issue we previously discussed in the BC 
and which should create precedent.
