Dear all, I agree on the considerations KK has proposed. I'm not sure whether we should also include the issue of mechanism overload for ICANN and for the community in general, i.e., from a very generic point of view, the more mechanisms are added to control a process, the more complex the process becomes, and thus, this is only acceptable if there is a clear gain to the parties the process is supposed to serve. As this is not the case, added complexity is not only unnecessary, it is an inefficiency and a vulnerability for the system itself.<div>

I fully agree and support. Some of us consider overbearing IP<br>
interests so-called "defensive" registrations actually as offensive<br>
seize of the domain name space guaranteeing the permanent exclusion of<br>
developing countries chances from their natural and fair share of the<br>
domain name space.<br>

Thanks again.<br>
