Re tm.ISO3166TLD  or why I don't like tm.int.


Why not let an existant SLD that has some interest in IP (intellectual 
property) take on this task...

For purposes of example only, I'd propose that, say WIPO take on
the task as follows:

	offer to register DNS labels for marks registered in the
	madrid database under rules that it establishes.

	eg  IBM, as a multinational, has already taken the trouble
	to register its trademarks in a substantial portion of the 
	nations that are signers of the madrid accords.  It has also
	taken the time/effort to register in those (few) nations that
	have not signed.

	They apply to WIPO for the DNS lable:  IBM.WIPO.INT.

	This has the cache of being recognised as a trademark label
	as seen by an accredited/recognised arbiter of trademarks.


Comments to the list please.
