[gnso-rpm-wg] Action Items, Slides and Notes from the Working Group call held earlier today

[J. Scott Evans]

There is a big difference from a database that contains all a company’s registered marks and one that contains a culling for only those it deems most valuable for protection in the DNS. The former is clearly open for the public, the later is not.

    FWIW I am also all for bringing the transparency of the TMCH database
    into line with those of national trademark registries so that its
    secrecy does not facilitate the kinds of abuses that George has
    uncovered.  I have been an observer until now but I've just upgraded to
    member and plan to join the call tomorrow.
