One had deeper support (within one SG). One had broader support, across a range of SGs and members, including commercial, noncommercial, registries and academics. Both certainly met the standard of support that we have used in other settings -- and we have moved proposals with far less support out for public comment.<o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-left:1.0in'>That said, if there is an interim way that we can navigate on this call, great! If there is a way to stop the Deloitte from extracting ordinary words and letters from composite marks and entering them into the TMCH, that seems to a joint and shared goal. <o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-left:1.0in'>Quick recollection: we know from questionnaires of the WG that TMCH/Deloitte's policy is to pull ordinary words from composite marks (figurative, stylized, design, word+design marks -- various terms used by our various members). We also know from the Analysis Group that the TMCH database includes some of the most common dictionary terms and generic terms such as love, hotel and one. <o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-left:1.0in'>However, I hear what you are saying -- and wonder with you how can we protect current brand owners and future brand owners (noting that future brand owners are likely to use many ordinary and dictionary words in their names)?
