[council] FYI - New GNSO Constituency Notice of Intent - Not-for-Profit Organizations Constituency

[Konstantinos Komaitis]

That is very true - because we have been so very good at stopping the expansion of trademarks outside our circles now we will have to do the same within our own one. It is embarrassing for a constituency that calls itself non-commercial to promote the ICANN-led protection of trademarks and seek to justify it.

Have you noticed the proponents all have an interest in trademarks? A cynic
might think that it is an attempted takeover of the public interest
constituency by trademark owners, launched from the home of astro-turfing.
