[At-Large] "Are Domains Property"

[Omar Kaminski]

I agree, but I'm not sure about the "lease" from the legal POW.

The legal nature is still obscure in Brazil (intellectual property? 
cession/right of use?), with some push to the trademarks from corporate 
lawyers and IP agents.

Seems to me that domains are property which is leasehold, ie if the owner 
fails to pay the lease (registration fee) they lose their lease.

Guys,
This is something that will have a major impact on us all: ARE DOMAINS
"PROPERTY".  This has been a question that has bobbled back and forth in
lawsuits and articles, opinion letters submitted by attorneys and
personal/corporate interests.
   We thought we'd put it to rest by letting the Global Community manifest
their own opinions.
We're encouraging participation as this will have a significant bearing on
domain governance going forward.

Thank you all.
