File notes: Arguments for Recalling RFC3
Arguments for Recalling WIPO RFC3
and Proposal for DNS/TM Resolution
Ed Gerck*
This essay shows that WIPO's RFC3 document is basically flawed in more than ten major technical areas and should be recalled in totum. Otherwise, pursuing the RFC3 recommendations will just lead to harm worldwide e-commerce, the Internet itself,Internet security, the public trust on business marks -- and, most importantly, users and consumers.
The essay supports some other views of Bell Atlantic and major brand holders to WIPO, but specifically in the suggestion that domain names not be squandered or brokered. In addition, this essay advances that a positive answer to the US's NTIA requests is possible. However, only by taking a quite different approach and by providing for a separation of powers.
Certainly, there is room for different views -- and, they must exist in an intersubjective approach. However, all participants may still agree to the same abstract model -- if the abstract model is flexible enough to support the different views in their entirety, while negating what is patently unwarranted. Thus, the present work may also serve to advance issues useful to such general endeavor.
