[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] "Thanks" is Trademarked!

[Volker Greimann]

Greg, I hope no one is insinuating that. However, trademark holders only 
should have a right to access the data if trademark law provides for 
such a right. If no such right to access non-public customer data exists 
in the real world, we should not grant it here either. If such a right 
exists on the other hand, we should consider it for access to the new 
database as well, with all the strings and requirements attached of course.

So if a trademark holder needs a court order to access non-public 
private information (for example to find out who is behind an ebay 
account), this should apply to RDS as well.

Sorry for the off-topic.

Best,

Volker
