[bc-gnso] Legal Developments

[Deutsch, Sarah B]

 Wanted to make sure the BC was aware of the following legal developments:

1. Domain Name company Sedari was sued (see link the article and complaint below and also note who pops up in the sponsored ad)

2. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board issued a ruling that .Music is not registrable as a trademark.  This is an issue we previously discussed in the BC and which should create precedent.
