Organisation - and name registration... some thoughts

Nick,

I'm not a lawyer...but:

The above question has been debated on many of the internet lists, including
HTMARCOM, Market-l, and PRForum.

I wish I could realy you information about a consensus.... there is none.
The internic has currently implemented a policy stating:
***************
"The party requesting registration of this name certifies that, to her/his
knowledge, the use of this name does not violate trademark or other statutes.

Registering a domain name does not confer any legal rights to that name and
any disputes between parties over the rights to use a particular name are to
be settled between the contending parties using normal legal methods
(see RFC 1591).
....
The applicant agrees that if the use of the domain name is challenged by any
third party, or if any dispute arises under this Registration Agreement, as
amended, the applicant will abide by the procedures specified in the Policy
Statement."
**************

As far as enforcing trademark issues, that issue seems to be left to the
courts in the country in question.

I'll assume that you are curious as to action that might be taken towards:
