Fnord,
It is very easy: Once ICANN decides there is no longer any trademark
protection in the Internet, except in gtlds where a .reg is added (or in .reg itself),
then they have to accept it, because even if they don't, they simply get no protection
anywhere else.
I think that the Internet has to be seen as a country, nobody yet
registered his trademark, because the was no administration existing, who could have
registered trademarks. So this process has yet to be started.
Of course will internationally
known trademarks be treated the way they are everywhere in this world. No one should
be able to register cocacola.com.reg or cocacola.reg, except cocacola.
Thanks for
reading this.
