As has been noted multiple times, there are cases where human judgment is required as to whether a "variation" is infringing. Kodak vs Kodiak, for instance. Therefore, it is in all parties' interest to not impose a mechanical protection of "variations". Still worse for "incorporation" - "tenNISSANdiego" is my pet example; the Barnes Tennis Center would probably get a good laugh out of a letter from Nissan telling them to cease and desist. Mechanical rules for protection of variations or embeddings are' impractical, unreasonable and indefensible. Since your assumption that variations should be protected has been abandoned by most of the participants who make their voices heard in public on these lists, the case for Sunrise+20 that builds upon this assumption cannot possibly be a basis for consensus in the WGs.

Subject: [wg-c] Re: [wg-b] RE: Sunset for sunrise I still want to see 20 variations of "GM" . If you count adding letters as a variation, then does the Swedish rock group "Axe Rox" get to register "axerox" or not? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 00:14:17 +0200 (MET DST) From: DNSO Secretariat Subject: [wg-c] Subscriptions to the DNSO General Assembly voting registry [ To: council@dnso.org ] [ To: announce@dnso.org, ga@dnso.org, WGs, liaison7c ] Dear DNSO GA Memebrs, As per the posted proposal for a GA voting registry sent by Harald Tveit Alvestrand on 19 April 2000: http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc04/msg00341.html you can now register to vote in GA votes through E-mail.

Connelly" Subject: [wg-c] All you need to know about life;-} Dear Colleagues: A close friend shared the following with me. Seems appropriate to some of our deliberations (especially the part about the woodpeckers in the boat). Regards, BobC All I really need to know about Life, I learned from Noah's Ark: 1. Don't miss the boat. 2. Don't forget we're all in the same boat. 3. Plan ahead -- it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. 4. Stay fit - when you're 600 years old someone might ask you to do something really big. 5. Don't listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done. 6. For safety's sake travel in pairs. 7. Two heads are better than one. 8. Build your future on high ground. 9. Speed isn't always an advantage - after all, the snails were on the same ark with the cheetahs. 10. When you're stressed, float awhile. 11. Remember the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic was built by professionals. 12. Remember that the woodpeckers inside are a larger threat than the storm outside. 13. No matter the storm, when God is with you, there's a rainbow. ------------------------------ End of WG-C-DIGEST V1 #99 *************************
