Re: offcial notices

[Kevin Brown <kevinbr@netcomm.ie>]

Guys,

Getting a DBA......this is traditional think. Because you are allowed to
use a mark or a DNA, that is granted by a locality. DNS names are
International. There are NO INTERNATIONAL TRADEMARKS. I have a DNS name
that I will shortly trademark in the EU communities. The 60 day period is a
cod. It i Internatioanlly meaningless. Buyer ( or DNS registor of name)
beware.

There is NO WAY the DNS namespace can EVER map to over 100 individual
Trademarl policies. Forget it. Court? What Court?  To even worry about it
is to imply responsibilty of the DNS registrar.

The current DNS policy is FINE! Leave it at that.

I know that someday Netcomm somewhere will attempt to do business in
Ireland and we will get into legal wrangling IRRESPECTIVE of what your
policy is.

The legal system would accept.......again, what legal system where. You
cannot win this one, there are too many legal systems.

First come first served.
