Good to see there is some civility and fair-mindedness on the board. You and I might disagree on an item or two--even a fundamental item or two. But you and I agree on this: the arbiters' decisions lately regarding generic domains are very disturbing. I think WIPO needs to take heed of the complaints against their rulings, because they are WAY off base. It doesn't take much to understand that the word "Traditions" is a generic term. Who chose these retired TM judges anyway? I propose that they be retired TOTALLY from service, except in a capacity that involves orders of cheeseburgers and fries. They are NOT equipped for the world of the 21st Century, and have left their common sense in a pair of pants long since laundered. Pity. They are ruining the day for many businesses and individuals, and are sending a flag that it is open season on generics. To ICANN, WIPO, and other arbiters: Are you reading this? . . . Good. . . Move closer to the monitor. . . A little closer. . . Good, that's close enough. . . Now listen. . . GET A GRIP!!!
