By using the IETF's nomenclature - calling the WIPO Report on domain
names an "RFC" (RFC3) - WIPO is practicing the intellectual property
theft that its report pretends to stop.
Through years of devotion to the publication of Internet standards,
the IETF has made the name of "RFC" synonymous with legitimate
service to the Internet. Now WIPO has usurped the name of "RFC" to
propagandize its special interests, as embodied in its
recommendations for controlling the use of domain names. That is,
WIPO has committed the very crime it pretends to stop: the
exploitation of a name's significance by an entity other than the
one that developed it.
All the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the WIPO report is contained in
this brazen theft of the IETF's invention and use of the name "RFC".
