Repeating the Same Mistakes: New GTLDs and the IRT Recommendation Report"Reviews'This book is a must-read for any legal scholar or policy-maker interested in understanding the international public policy objectives and political negotiations behind Internet domain name policy and trademark law policy. If you want to know how the intersection of trademark law and domain name policy has historically evolved, where it is right now, and where it is going, you have found the right book.' - Robin D. Gross, Imagine Law, San Francisco, Executive Director of IP Justice, and Chair of ICANN's Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC) 'Few academic studies are as timely and compelling as this book. Dr. Komaitis provides the first comprehensive analysis and history of the UDRP. Dr. Komaitis' questions, insights and reformulations stand to alter the way we understand domain names and their meanings. His answers to the key question: How can we distance the domain names from the catalytic influence of trademark law stand to pave a path to fairer and more neutral treatment of domain names for people around the world. This is an unprecedented book.' - Kathryn A. Kleiman, Esq., Senior Internet Law and Policy Attorney, Internet Matters, USA 'As ICANN proceeds to expand generic top level domains, this timely and thorough critique of the legal regulation of the domain space provides a necessary analysis of the legal nature of domain names. Arguing that without sound ethical principles of equality, fairness and lawfulness underpinnings any regulation of the domain name space is flawed, Komaitis proffers well considered solutions for a just domain name polis firmly rooted in the experience of the first ten years of domain name dispute resolution.' - Catherine Colston, University of Strathclyde, Scotland '[This book] provides a passionate yet legalistic and well-researched overview of the legal, institutional and ethical problems caused by the clash between domain names and trademarks. This is really the first decent book-length treatment of what is now a decade and a half of legal and political conflict between domain name registrants and trademark holders. But this is more than a static compilation and description of the subject: Komaitis has an original and fundamentally important argument to make.' - Milton Mueller, Internet Governance Project, 2010 'This book is a must-read for any legal scholar or policy-maker interested in understanding the international public policy objectives and political negotiations behind Internet domain name policy and trademark law policy.
