[comments-wgb] Support for the Sunrise Plus 20
My name is J. Scott Evans. I am a partner
at Adams, Schwartz & Evans, P.A. a small intellectual property law firm
located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our firm specializes in assisting
small to medium-sized companies with intellectual property protection and
enforcement. I am a member of the Special Internet Committee for INTA and
the Chairperson for the DNS Subcommittee which works on domain name related
issues.
I have read the Sunrise Plus Twenty proposal
recently posted on the WG B list serve. I believe that this proposal is a
good compromise between intellectual property interests and registrar
interest. This proposal offers a mechanism whereby the registrars can
maintain the stability of the Internet during the introduction of new open gTLDs
and still provide trademark owners with a modicum of protection to avoid the
exploitation of the new gTLDs by those who only wish to profiteer off the labors
of others.
It is my sincere hope that the Names Counsel
will recommend this compromise position to the ICANN Board for action at its
next Board meeting in Japan.
Sincerely,
ADAMS, SCHWARTZ & EVANS, P.A.
