We are in a data gathering exercise. Some folks on this list have concerns that the services exist at all and others would be unhappy that "premium" names (like the word LOVE) would be blocked by a TM holder across scores of TLDs. Some think that they go too far and others think they don't go far enough. Both positions are interesting, but irrelevant to our exercise. Let's keep value propositions out of our questions. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On the substance, think it is better not to try to list every question. That's a waste of time. Let's collect the rules from the service providers, which should answer all of the questions. For DPML, we have Ts&Cs that I could provide that should answer all the questions. If they don't, we always could do a specific follow-up, if necessary. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jon<br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
