RE: [gnso-igo-ingo] Nature of the problem / Evidence of harm discussion

["Novoa, Osvaldo" <onovoa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan,

First of all sorry if it sounded pedantic, I did not intend to ridicule or 
disrespect those that asked for the harm, and sorry if it felt I did.

What I meant is that there is series of known threats to the name owners 
arising from the fact that some other third party might use their name for 
other ends.
>From the GNSO Outcomes Report on Domain Tasting (2007) I extracted the 
>following.
The possible harms might be:
For the organization:

 *   Infringement of their trademark rights
 *   Erosion of brand name thru to user confusion
 *   Erosion of reputation thru users diverted to unexpected and potentially 
harmful sites
 *   Loss of revenue thru diversion of traffic
 *   Increased monitoring costs and reduced possibilities to trace IPR violators
 *   Increased brand enforcement costs from additional infringing registrations
For the Internet user:

 *   Confusion and lost of time when reaching an unexpected web site
 *   Dissatisfaction due to unintended or erroneous commercial transactions
 *   Harm from spamming, malware and fraud

These are valid for any case when a domain appears with the name of any company 
and it doesn't represent that company.  In the case of IGO and INGO we 
considered that, due to the fact that an important number of governments have 
decided to grant them a special protection, ICANN should also grant them a 
special protection.

Best regards,

Osvaldo

We,all know the kind of harm that could be done if they are not protected,

I am glad to hear that you know. Since it is a mistake to say "all" because I 
certainly do not yet claim to, could you kindly share that knowledge? This is 
exactly the kind of evidence being sought by those for whom this is an issue.

Thanks!
