<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a bit more about my reasoning:<br>
<br>
Geographic regions do not have global protection. Some jurisdictions provide geographic indication protections – but that is done legislatively, be it nationally or through treaties - not de facto. And it is a highly contentious process.
<br>
<br>
What the GAC is asking is that ICANN propel geographic terms – and not just country names are recognized, but any term a particular jurisdiction decides is regionally sensitive – to a level of legislatively or treaty-based recognition. National and international
law does not provide for this. While it is not technically “law,” it is having that impact through ICANN processes.
<br>
<br>
I think it is important for the BC to keep GAC rights to advice out of this equation. We are talking about ICANN Board adopting advice that gives extra-national rights.<br>
