<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Jeff, dear fellow councillors,<br>
<br>
not trying to ruffle any feathers here, especially at this late
stage, but I have strong objections to the concept of implementing
blanket mandatory restrictions to the legitimate rights of
potential domain owners to apply for certain strings on the second
level based solely on the lobbying power of the IOC and the Red
Cross/Red Crescent. The proposed reserving of the listed terms
effectively removes the ability of other potential rights holders
in these strings to apply for their trademarks or other name
rights in the sunrise phase of any newly launched gTLD, especially
since the TMCH warning process would provide the protected
entities and the applicant with ample warning of the potential
conflict during the launch. Only once the minimum duration of the
TMCH protection in newly launched TLDs expires does further
protection become necessary.<br>
<br>
A quick search shows numerous such potential applicants for the
string "Olympic" alone: restaurants, an airline, a paint company,
a travel agency, hotels, a college, a dairy company and many more,
none of which infringe upon the legally protected rights of the
above organizations by use of the string "olympic". The blanket
restriction therefore seems as an overreach, especially since
effective protection mechanisms are already implemented during the
launch.<br>
<br>
A more differentiated approach therefore seems appropriate, such
as a requirement for new gTLD registries to add the affected
strings to the reserved list only after the TMCH is no longer
effective for the TLD, or allowing Sunrise applications despite
the restriction. <br>
<br>
While I understand and agree with the need to implement some form
of protections for the above organizations, such protections
should not infringe on third party rights to apply for the
registration of domain names that match their legal rights in an
undue manner.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

am pleased to present the following motion which was supported
by the Drafting Team. For the record, I will note that the
