<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">Your comment
(“…</span><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">This may wind up
being the real shortcoming in the communications surrounding the new gTLD
program.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">”) is well taken. With some
100 new gTLDs already added to the root at this point, I find it somewhat
astounding that there is so little pick up by the broader media; which is a
direct reflection on the lack of marketing activities by new gTLD
Registries. Rightly or wrongly, I had expected that the ‘cacophony
of marketing noise’ derived from the aggregate of new gTLD operators
would ultimately awaken consumer interest in this program, but personally I
haven’t seen any marketing whatsoever…</span></p>

about the efficiency of the Federal civil trial system)</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">I have not made sufficient inquiry
into the facts of the case or the underlying law to form any opinion on its
merits. And, like many lawsuits, it could settle before a verdict is
rendered.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">That said, a finding that the
world’s leading registrar had committed trademark infringement in its
domain parking activities would have very broad legal and industry
repercussions, which is the reason I brought it to the attention of BC
members.</span></p>

<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">As domain names
continue to push their way closer to mass market awareness, stories like this
one in the National Journal which bears an incredulous tone, are only going to
become more prevalent, cynical and one-sided. Particularly as the ripples
of the new gTLD program reaches media who know less and less and less about
ICANN, UDRP practices or any of the mechanics that make-up domain name
registration policies.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">To the naked eye,
it likely seems that the Academy <em>should</em> prevail in the case against
oscarlist.com or academyawardsinc.com; so much so that if GoDaddy were to win
the case, it <em>might</em> seem like a miscarriage of justice. Now that
would be a problem beyond this one case.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color: black;" lang="EN">The problem is
rooted in the fact that there is too little grounding in domain names beyond
the small group of people who have participated in ICANN, yet public policy,
law and public opinion is made by more who don't. This may wind up being
the real shortcoming in the communications surrounding the new gTLD
program.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">Domain-name registrar GoDaddy.com Inc. has lost an effort to force
the recusal of a federal judge based on alleged bias toward the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, whose own attorney it said referred to her as
“the Academy’s judge.”</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">In 2010, the Academy, which hosts the Oscars awards show, sued
GoDaddy.com for cybersquatting. The suit alleges that GoDaddy.com offers a
program by which its customers can “park” a Web page—in this
case, allegedly under infringing domain names—for the sole purpose of
collecting ad revenue derived when users click onto the sites.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">Among the more than 100 domain names at issue are oscarlist.com and
academyawardsinc.com. The case is scheduled to go to trial later this
year.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">Although the case originally was assigned to U.S. District Judge Dale
Fischer in Los Angeles, the Academy successfully moved to transfer the
litigation to U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins, who is overseeing related
cases over its trademarks.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">During a hearing Monday, Fischer rejected GoDaddy’s motion to
recuse Collins, saying she would issue a written ruling soon. “The Court
finds that the motion is untimely, frivolous, and that defense has provided no
evidence that a reasonable person could conclude that there is any bias by
Judge Collins,” Fischer concluded, according to a minute order of the
proceedings.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">“Her ruling began by characterizing the motion as both untimely
and frivolous and concluded by noting that GoDaddy had blatantly misrepresented
the facts,” said David Quinto, a partner at Los Angeles-based Quinn
Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and the Academy’s longtime trademark
attorney.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">The organization’s counsel of record, Stuart Singer, a partner
in Boies, Schiller & Flexner's Fort Lauderdale office, said he was
“gratified by Judge Fischer’s decision.”</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">GoDaddy.com did not respond to a request for comment, and its
attorney, Aaron McKown of Wrenn Bender in Irvine, Calif., did not return a call
for comment.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">Among other things, GoDaddy.com’s attorneys claimed in a Dec.
31 motion that the Academy has attempted “to game the system” by
steering all its cases before Collins, who has overseen 25 of its disputes
within the past 15 years. In this case, they noted that Collins had ruled for
the Academy on a number of motions, including for dismissal and summary
judgment. Collins has allegedly encouraged GoDaddy.com to settle the case while
suggesting the Academy file a second suit.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">The Academy, in turn, has used its leverage with Collins, whose
daughter is an actress, in settlement negotiations, the motion asserts. During
a 2012 meeting on potential settlement terms, for example, Quinto allegedly
told GoDaddy.com’s attorneys that they should know Collins is “the
Academy’s judge.”</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">In court papers, the Academy’s attorneys called
GoDaddy.com’s claims “outrageous and sanctionable.” In a Jan.
13 opposition filing, they noted that GoDaddy.com did not object at the time
the case was transferred. They brushed aside arguments about Collins’
daughter, who is not an Academy member, and called accusations about the
judge’s statements misleading. They also defended their own settlement
discussions.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">Quinto said his reference to Collins as “the Academy
judge”—not, he insisted, “the Academy’s judge” as
GoDaddy.com contends—simply meant she “was familiar with the
academy’s intellectual properties.”</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"
lang="EN">“GoDaddy’s motion struck me as baseless and Judge Collins
is a very well respected judge,” he added. “Let’s just say
that in my career, I’ve never seen something like this.”</span></p>
