Personally, I've always advocated no preferential treatment to common dictionary
words - trademark or no trademark, big business or no business. This would have preserved
the integrity of the TLD in the long run and would have been equitable for all. RE:
'honest processing mistakes' - I'm not sure exactly what Afilias is going to
allow, but it specifically mentioned cases where TM data was ommitted completely
and said that it wouldn't allow people to change their data to avoid being challenged
on December 26. It sounds rather amgious though, doesn't it? I would assume that
science.info will not be considered an honest mistake according to Afilias' criteria
however. Pity. Cheers, Dave
