          <p>Hi Brian,<u></u><u></u></p>
          <p>why should such &quot;telescoped terms&quot; be protected at all? To
            take but two of your examples:<u></u><u></u></p>
          <p>sie.men - Siemen is a Dutch name. Sie also means &quot;You&quot;
            formally in German. <u></u>
            <u></u></p>
          <p>NES.cafe - So if I wanted to open a retro-style gaming cafe
            for the Nintendo Entertainment System, that would trigger
            your proposed protections?
            <u></u><u></u></p>
          <p>It seems to be assumed that if a string matches or is
            similar to a trademarked term, its registration equates to
            cybersquatting, but that is not the case. Such protections
            are overreaching and infringing on the ability of legitimate
            users of such strings.
            <u></u><u></u></p>
          <p>A trademark is only violated if the domain is used in a
            violating way or if the intent of the registration is to
            deprive or to extort from the trademark holder. ANY other
            use of the term is likely to be legitimate and should not in
            any way be made more difficult than any other domain
            registration. <u></u><u></u></p>
          <p>Best,<u></u><u></u></p>

              <div>

              <div>
                <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">As
                    I&#39;ve mentioned earlier, I think that a proposal to
                    use non-exact matches other than &quot;mark contained&quot;
                    matches (&quot;dumb matches&quot;) makes sense to pursue. 
                    Various types of matches have been discussed;
                    however, there has been no actual proposal for
                    &quot;smarter&quot; matches that can be used by the group.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

              <div>
                <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The
                    attached proposal seek to fill that gap.  It is more
                    in the nature of an addendum to the initial proposal
                    on non-exact matches.  However, it does provide a
                    more formal proposal on the types of non-exact
                    matches to be considered.  The intent is to provide
                    a sufficient framework to discuss these types of
                    non-exact matches and to add these non-exact matches
                    to the proposal.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
