Extended review is by its design an exception procedure; an applicant would

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dear
councillors,</span> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>after repeated discussion the ISPCP constituency still has the following
concerns regarding the letter to be sent to Kurt Pritz.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>We understand that there are examples of string similarity which would not
necessarily would cause detrimental confusion and that in this case - and only
in this - an extended review should be granted to the applicant.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>However strict rules must be set under which the extended review is
permitted ensuring the string similarity review is the normal case and the
extended one an exception. These rules are to be worked out with participation
of the community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>The letter should express that the rules must immediately be worked out by a
small expert group in order to achieve community acceptance.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
