the lingering stench of "Disagreeing to Agree"

re Disagreeing to Agree, 10/4/99 Tele.com, p. 118, by Sarah Parkes


"No, we are not trying to extend [the definition of 'cybersquatting'
beyond known trademark violation]; we are trying to figure out exactly
what it means... Among other things, we are trying to define
"legitimate"" ...  "Existing laws and regulations vary and are unclear,
which is why a more precise definition is needed. We will implement
decisions through contracts with registrars, who will agree to abide by
the policy. We are not making laws - or breaking them!"

"Our charter is essentially technical and limited to a very focused
area."
