I am an intellectual property
attorney and a policy consultant to Afilias. I apologize for the delay in getting
back to you but Afilias has been overwhelmed with information requests.Trademark
information is NOT optional during the Sunrise registration, it is contractually
required.
However, if you should have any additional question please do not sitate
to contact via email or on the phone at Afilias' offices at (215) 504-4610.
Best
regards,
Michael D. Palage
I think the keyword in his email is contractually
(whatever that means).
By the way Moshe Fogel is also President of Afilias Registar
Sitename which co-operates very closely with sister company Gal Communications which
is also an Afilias registrar.
