>FYI, since my company owns the trademarks - my.web, host.web, and portal.web, I am confident that I will be able to claim it through the Afilias Sunrise Period.< The USPTO trademark database shows no matches for any of those trademarks. Even if you were to file them now, you would not be able to claim them during the sunrise period because they would have been registered after October 2, 2000 and they would not have national effect. Please see the following in the Afilias application: "owners of any subsisting trademark or service mark registration having national effect (i.e. no United States state trademark applications or foreign equivalents) and that issued prior to October 2, 2000 will be eligible to register a domain name that is identical to its mark, using ASCII characters only." The Afilias sunrise period system has built-in safeguards, such as the ones listed above, to keep individuals like you from registering trademarks with the sole intent of abusing the sunrise period to "steal" generic domain names.
