<p>Dear Emmanuel,</p><p>Thank you very much for sharing the document. It's clear and helpful in explaining the issues you identified. </p><p>However, if you can, I'd like some more info regarding the "F1 Charter Question on TMCH." Expanding the scope of TMCH's tools, which seems to favor intellectual property rightsholders (IMHO), may raise a few concerns, especially if our comment in favor of expanding this protection would not align us with the positions traditionally advanced by the IPC and opposed by the NCSG. While the current wording might negatively impact some non-profits and non-commercial entities, it appears to me that private companies with significant IP investments would likely benefit most from such an expansion - and IP rights have been instrumentalized, at times, against good-faith registrants due to the interpretation margins around IP infringement, which can pose a risk to online freedom of expression. Making this interpretation margin larger is something that usually worries me.<br></p><p>But I would like to hear your opinion on this, because I may just be inadequately extending a piece of the logic around DNS x IP to a different context where it does not fit well.<br></p>

However, I've identified three specific areas that appear to require further review and consideration.<br><br><b>Implementation Guidance 15: </b>This guideline proposes a standard approach allowing registries or registrars to enhance services such as RDDS. These services could offer comprehensive data about a domain and its variants, possibly through advanced methods like bulk services. I suggest these enhancements should remain optional and be tightly regulated to ensure privacy and security.<br><br><b>F1 Charter Question on TMCH:</b> The current "exact match" rules under the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) are too restrictive and could hinder organizations whose names vary due to linguistic or branding changes. I propose extending this rule to include "substantial matches," allowing better protection for the intellectual properties of entities/orgs across various regions and languages.<br><br><b>Document Readability: </b>Although the report is well-structured, its technical and legal jargon could be a barrier for non-commercial stakeholders unfamiliar with domain name systems or trademark law. The readability analysis shows a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 12.96 and a Gunning Fog Index of 16.37, indicating a high complexity level.<br><br>These are my primary concerns, though there may be other issues I'm not aware of or you may disagree with my points.

Colleagues Akinremi Peter Taiwo, Grace Githaiga, and Maju are also monitoring this report and can assist with any inquiries.
