And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [note: some addresses blind copied] A bit of background as accurate as I can make it..for further questions please contact Eric Brunner at the e-mail address below. With WTO scheduled the end of this month in Seattle, intellectual property rights, as well as indigenous right to protect are up for discussion. The following organization, ICANN, is the organization which assigns domain names, top level domain names such as, .gov, .us. .UK, .CA, .org, .com, .net, etc. At this time tribal entities either fall under commercial domain or .org or .net. There is no recognition in cyber space that they are sovereign nations, no right to protect their names in this region. ICANN has called for comments on indigenous nation rights to be recognized as sovereign entities in cyber space. so far there have been five people who have commented...it is simple. Directions below on how to send you support for this matter..it will have long range international implications for the sovereign recognition of intellectual property rights..world wide. You have the chance to support sovereignty..Please DO SO.
