Thanks Sam<br>

I agree with this of course, and understand the stance of
registrars, but I just didn't think that the IP community had grown
non-maximalist with regard domain names ;)<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Nicolas, Thanks for the question.
What I meant to convey is that the IP community also is opposed
to the proposed regulation on the grounds that there are
existing trade mark protections elsewhere and that this wording
would open a Pandora's Box of problems around domain name
fights. Many registrar's are also against the wording both on
principle and on the practical grounds that it would reduce
domain registrations because of increased risk of litigation (TM
protective or TM predatory) depending on parts of the domain
name.<br>
