I believe the report should be rejected in its entirety, for reasons specified below. WIPO proposes a significant expansion in intellectual property rights, at the expense of free speech and due process of law. The entire proposal suffers from a congenital confusion between trademarks and domain names. These are matters of law, completely settled law.
Domain names are, like other words and names, intimately tied to freedom of expression.
Thousands of similar cases have occurred which did not make the newspapers. WIPO proposes that domain names be denied to those who wish not to make themselves available for nuisance suits by IP fanatics. They state that users who register a name and pay the required fees must be denied their chosen domains for lack of personal contact information. Trademark holders who seek to enforce their rights must bear the cost of enforcing their rights, including the cost of finding and serving the parties involved. Further, the WIPO proposal states that rather than permitting a court to look at the issue, the entire matter should be handled by an administrative process managed by WIPO itself.
